The Hyuga Battleship – A Brief History

The Hyuga battleship (in full scale) belonged to the Ise class and served in the Imperial Japanese Navy. It was launched in 1917 and took an active part in World War II operations. During modernization between 1934 and 1936, it received upgraded weaponry and armor. In 1943, Hyuga was rebuilt into an aviation battleship, which allowed it to use both its main artillery and reconnaissance or bomber aircraft. The ship participated in, among others, the Battle of Leyte and performed homeland defense duties for the Japanese islands until 1945, when it was sunk by American aircraft.
