The battleship Ise was planned as the third ship of the preceding Fuso class, but based on the experience of Fuso and Yamashiro, it was built as a separate design during the Taisho period.

Completed at Kawasaki Shipbuilding in 1917, it featured a repositioning of the 3rd and 4th turrets and a superimposed arrangement compared to the Fuso-class destroyers.

Between 1935 and 1937, the ship underwent modernization, including the addition of bulges and an extension of the stern, and was maintained as a frontline combat vessel.

During the Pacific War, it did not participate in any active operations or combat.
After losing air power in the Battle of Midway in June 1942, it was converted into an aircraft carrier battleship.
In the Battle of the Philippine Sea in October 1944, it sortied alongside the aircraft carriers Zuikaku and Zuiho, but returned afterward.
In July of the same year, it was heavily damaged and sunk by an air attack by the US military, remaining there until the end of the war.
