* <p class="p1"> At first, Ise and Hyuuga were planned to be built as the 3rd and 4th of the Fuso-class battleships, but because of many defects found in Fuso and Yamashiro and because of budget problems, their construction was put off. In this period, learning a lesson from Fuso class battleships, the design of Ise & Hyuuga was widely changed (e.g. '''positioning of 3rd, 4th turrets'''<span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, see the photo cited from [https://archive.org/details/brasseysnavala1923brasuoft%7C Brassey's Naval Annual 1923] p.426</span><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">) and at last they appeared as Ise class battleships.</span></p>

* <p class="p1"> During WW2, Ise & Hyuuga were converted into aviation battleships. There were 2 reasons for doing so. One, in an exercise on the 5th of July 1942, there was an accident on '''the 5th turret of Hyuuga''' and she needed fixing. Two, the Japanese Navy had to compensate for the loss of 4 regular aircraft carriers during the Battle of Midway in June 1942 (Akagi, Kaga, Souryuu and Hiryuu). Because of this, instead of being restored to her original state, Hyuuga was remodeled as an aviation battleship (Ise received the same treatment.)</p>

* Though they became aviation battleships, they were not utilized as aviation battleships in combat partly because there were not enough planes available for them, and they served solely as normal battleships until they were sunk. This can be seen from the fact that '''their catapults were removed'''.
