Ise (伊勢) was the Imperial Japanese Navy's first Ise-class battleship, and laid at the Kawasaki Heavy Industries shipyard in Kobe on May 5, 1915, launched on November 12, 1916, and completed on December 1, 1917. She was originally planned to be the third Fuso-class battleship, but problems including weak armament and protection forced a redesign and new classification.
Her displacement and armament were still usable at the outset of World War II, but due to her relatively slow speed, large crew, and high fuel consumption, along with lack of a suitable role, she never saw battle as a battleship.
Ise was later converted to a carrier battleship — the aft turrets were removed and replaced with a hangar, deck and catapult. She was damaged in the battle off Cape Engaņo.
