Historically, Ibuki and her sister, ultimately unnamed, were supposed to be successors to the Mogami-class cruisers, with a similar armament. However, due to the increasingly dire wartime situation for Japan, Ibuki was converted into a light aircraft carrier. The war came to an end before she could be completed, however, and she and her sister were scrapped on the slips shortly afterwards.
