History
The Ise-class battleships (伊勢型戦艦) were built for the Imperial Japanese Navy, comprising Ise and Hyuga. Initially intended as the third and fourth ships of the Fusō-class, but the scope of modifications needed lead to the creation of the whole new class. Construction of Ise began in December 1915, and she was launched on 12 November 1916, while Hyuga was laid down in May 1915 and launched on 27 January 1917. Both vessels were commissioned in 1917.
The design improvements included a revised main gun arrangement to address the blast and safety issues observed in Fusōs. The Ise class initially featured a lower elevation angle for their main guns, later increased to 30 degrees to improve range and accuracy. The secondary armament was downgraded from 152 mm guns to 140 mm guns, better suited to the physical capabilities of Japanese crew members, significantly increasing rate of fire.
Both battleships saw limited action in the early stages of World War II, primarily serving in training and reserve roles. However, after Japan's defeat at the Battle of Midway in 1942, both ships were converted into hybrid battleship-aircraft carriers. Their aft turrets were removed to accommodate a flight deck capable of launching 22 aircraft, though neither vessel carried aircraft during combat operations.
In October 1944, the Ise and Hyuga participated in the Battle of Leyte Gulf as part of Carrier Division 4, Northern Force, under Admiral Ozawa. They survived multiple air attacks despite suffering heavy damage. By 1945, they were effectively relegated to anti-aircraft defence due to shortages of fuel, aircraft, and trained pilots. Both ships sustained further damage from air raids during July 1945, ultimately sinking in shallow waters near Kure. The wrecks were scrapped post-war, with Hyuga dismantled in July 1946 and Ise shortly thereafter.
