AIRCRAFT CARRIER KAGA

She was initially being built as a battleship, but as a result of a coincidence she became one of the first large carriers in history. She was a part of Japanese group of carriers that formed the core power of the Imperial Japanese Navy during the first half-year of the war in Pacific. After a daring attack on Pearl Harbor and a series of further victories, she suffered a reversal of fortune at the battle of Midway, where Kaga and three accompanying carriers were destroyed.
