Historically Ikoma was originally classified as a CA, but in 1912 was reclassified a BC. She had 4 12" guns, and could steam over 20 knots. In World War I, she often operated with the Royal Navy out of Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia. Her sister, Tsukuba, blew up in 1917 after her ammunition magazine caught fire at Yokosuka.
