  • The Kaga was an aircraft carrier serving with the Imperial Japanese Navy during Japan's invasion and occupation of Hawaii during World War II. During the battle with the US Navy off Hawaii, the Kaga was damaged and forced back to Tokyo for repairs.
  • Kaga (Japanese: 加賀) was Japan's first heavy carrier, she was laid down on 19 July 1920 at Kawasaki Heavy Industries shipyard as a Tosa class battleship. On 5 February 1922 both Tosa class ships were cancelled and designated for scrapping under the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, but Kaga was therefore selected for completion as an aircraft carrier, instead of battlecruiser Amagi, damaged beyond repair in the earthquake in 1923. Conversion of Kaga was launched in 1925 and completed on 31 March 1928.
