Ise

During the development of the Fusō class, military experience and new requirements for fleet management were taken into account, and new positioning of the artillery simplified fire control. By the beginning of World War II, Ise had become obsolete. After Japan suffered significant aircraft carrier losses in the Battle of Midway, Ise was rebuilt as a hybrid battleship-aircraft carrier. Her rear group of turrets was replaced by a flight deck. In 1944, she participated in the Battle of Cape Engaño. In July 1945, Ise was sunk by American bombers near Ondo Seto island.
