- 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.
