  Imperial Battleship: Hasegawa 1/700 Japanese batteship Ise
The Imperial Japanese Navy had a tradition of producing innovative battleship designs which were the equal, or better, of many of their foreign contemporaries.
The battleship was a predominant element of all naval tactics of the time and Japan's older capital ships, too, had been successively modernized during the interwar period, most of them staying fully capable for a modern naval war.
The revolutionary development of naval aviation, of course, changed all that, so that battleships in general were reduced to the role of anti-aircraft screening for the aircraft carriers, with their demise as a consequence.
