The History of the Kaga

Kaga was one of the most famous aircraft carriers of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) and played a key role in the Asian theater during World War II. Originally constructed as a battleship, it was converted into an aircraft carrier and, between 1935-1938, underwent modernization which included its characteristic triple flight deck—a solution typical of Japanese naval experimentation in the interwar period. Kaga participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway, where it was sunk in June 1942. The triple-deck configuration was primarily used between 1935-1938 before the carrier transitioned to a standard single flight deck.
