IJN Ise

JS Ise was one of two JMSDF vessels en route to RIMPAC 2014 at the time of the invasion, alongside the destroyer JS Kirishima. The Japanese elected to remain part of the Pearl Harbor fleet rather than attempt to return to their homeland alone, and consequently became a part of the Armor Corps Provisional Navy. Although the Hyuga-class was widely speculated to have been built with intent to possibly be utilized as an aircraft carrier in the future, Ise possessed no such ability, instead acting as a mobile common landing pad for the numerous helicopters carried by nearly every ship in the combined fleet. It wasn't until 2015 that petitioning from the ACPN saw the Engineers tear up Ise's flight deck and install a high-powered catapult system, allowing the Ise to launch fixed-wing aircraft. From that point onward, Ise became a central point to the Armor Corps conventional forces operations against the Vannai Puppets.
After the Human-Vannai War, the Ise and her crew elected to remain part of the ACPN until the activation of the Wellington Agreement would force either their return to their home nation or joining the Tasman Alliance Navy. Officially this was attributed to a desire to see the Japanese continue to provide critical support to the Armor Corps for as long as possible. Rumour has it however that this was more likely due to the Japanese crew being reluctant to return to Japan as run by Tommy and Editi.
Following the Dokuritsu Insurrection, Ise and Kirishima were recalled to homeport as two of the few remaining Japanese warships left afloat after the Human-Vannai War and apathy of the Engineers towards producing any replacements. It is unknown how the crew of the Ise were received, but the Ise has since been seen operating as part of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
