Japanese aircraft carrier that took part in the Battle of Pearl Harbor. It was originally designed as a battleship, and partway through its construction at the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Kobe shipyard, converted to a carrier. It took its name from the old province of Kaga, in present-day Ishikawa Prefecture.
The Kaga was destroyed June 4, 1942 by planes of the US Navy during the Battle of Midway.
