Hyūga, the second Ise-class battleship, was considered obsolete by the beginning of World War II and hardly ever served in the Pacific Ocean. After Japan suffered significant aircraft carrier losses in the Battle of Midway, Hyūga was rebuilt as a hybrid battleship-aircraft carrier, and her rear group of turrets was replaced by a flight deck. In 1944, she participated in the Battle of Cape Engaño. In 1945, she transported fuel and other strategic supplies from China to Japan. In July 1945, Hyūga was sunk by American bombers.
