High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Ibuki class (???, Ibuki-gata?) cruisers were the last class of heavy cruisers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN). In order to save design time, the ships were essentially repeats of the earlier Mogami class. Begun during World War II, only the lead ship, Ibuki, was launched, but was in the process of being converted into a light aircraft carrier when construction was suspended in 1945.
