Afterwards the ship was transferred to Southeast Asia. She participated in the Battle off Cape Engaño in late 1944, where she was one of the ships that decoyed the American carrier fleet supporting the invasion of Leyte away from the landing beaches. Following the loss of most of the IJN's large aircraft carriers during the Battle of Midway in mid-1942, she was rebuilt with a flight deck replacing the rear pair of gun turrets to give her the ability to operate an air group of floatplanes lack of aircraft and qualified pilots meant that Ise never actually operated her aircraft in combat. Afterwards she played a minor role in the Second Sino-Japanese War.ĭespite the expensive reconstruction, the ship was considered obsolete by the eve of the Pacific War, and did not see significant action in the early years of the war. Ise was reconstructed in 1934–1937, with improvements to her armour and her propulsion machinery. The ship was partially modernised in two stages in 1928–19–1932, during which her forward superstructure was rebuilt in the pagoda mast style. In 1923, she assisted survivors of the Great Kantō earthquake. Ise supported Japanese forces in the early 1920s during the Siberian Intervention in the Russian Civil War. Although completed in 1917, she played no role in World War I. Ise ( Japanese: 伊勢) was the lead ship of her class of two dreadnought battleships built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1910s. 6 × 30-round 12.7 cm AA rocket launchers.
