This volume covers the two related classes of Japanese 14 in.-gunned battleships, originally built during the First World War but subsequently totally reconstructed. They are famous for the towering forward superstructure, usually described as a pagoda bridge, that they featured when rebuilt. Ise and Hyuga underwent further reconstruction during the Second World War to emerge as a unique hybrid of battleship and aircraft carrier in a desperate attempt to compensate for fleet carriers sunk earlier in the war.Ship craft ;24.BattleshipsPictorial worksCruisers (Warships)Pictorial worksFuso class battleshipIse class battleshipBattleshipsCruisers (Warships)359Brown Robert362993Richardson GeorgeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910162949203321Japanese battleships2892614UNINA
