Overview
Under the 1941 Emergency Fleet Replenishment Program, heavy cruisers of an improved design based on the Mogami class were built. In 1942, two ships were laid down in Kure and Nagasaki, but a month later, the construction of the second cruiser was canceled. Ibuki was laid down in April 1942 and launched in May 1943. After the launch, construction was suspended, and then the cruiser began to be converted into a light aircraft carrier. The work was finally halted when the ship was approximately 80% complete.
