The Ise-class ships – IJN Ise and IJN Hyuga – were battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy that entered service during World War I and reached their peak activity in World War II. Between 1943–1944, they were rebuilt as hybrid battleship–aircraft carriers, with their aft decks adapted to operate floatplanes and dive bombers. These ships played a significant role in Pacific campaigns, including the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
