Brief Historical Description

The Hyuga was one of two Ise-class battleships serving in the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). Launched during World War I, it underwent a significant reconstruction in 1943. After the Battle of Midway, Hyuga’s artillery aft turret was replaced with a flight deck, allowing the ship to carry reconnaissance aircraft and bombers. Hyuga was utilized in the final stages of World War II primarily as a training vessel and aircraft transport, also taking part in the Battle of Leyte in 1944.
