From Wikipedia: "List of Japanese Navy ships and war vessels in World War II.
After writing about the Kongo and her three sister ships which were converted from battlecruisers to battleships, I got to wondering about how many battleships Japan actually had. It seemed to me that there were a whole lot of them.
I started searching and good old Wikipedia had a complete list of Japanese warships during the war.
I was surprised to see that Japan only had ten battleships other than the Kongo-class.

FUSO-CLASS: There was a plan to convert these ships into Aviation Battleships in 1943. The plan was cancelled and the two Ise-Class battleships were converted instead.
