IJN Hyuga (日向/ひゅうが) was the second and last Ise-class battleship built for the IJN during the 1910s. Although completed in 1918, she played no role in World War I. Ise was reconstructed in 1934 – 1937, with improvements to her armour and propulsion machinery. Despite the expensive reconstruction, the ship was considered obsolete by the eve of the Pacific War. After the war, Hyuga was scrapped in 1946–1947.

IJN Soryu (蒼龍/そうりゅう), literally “Blue Dragon”, was an aircraft carrier built for the IJN during the mid-1930, took part in Second Sino-Japanese War and later Pacific War. In Battle of Midway in June 1942, the carrier was attacked by American carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown after bombarding American forces on Midway Atoll, and later sunked by Dive bombers from Yorktown.
