An endnote tells us "The ships are sometimes referred to as the Kaga class, after the ship that was planned to have been completed first". The Japanese article is titled "Kaga-class". I know absolutely nothing about the subject, but this suggests to me that the class is more than "sometimes" referred to as Kaga. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 20:49, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
The Type 91 shell was adopted in 1931 and began replacing the Type 88 shell in 1932. The ships were scheduled for completion before 1924. They would have been supplied with the Type 3 or Type 5 AP shell, weighing 2,205lbs, fired at the same velocity but the lighter weight of the shell would have meant reduced range versus the Type 91. The Type 3 and Type 5 were replaced by the Type 88 of similar performance, designed for better underwater travel and penetration. The Type 88, adopted in 1928, was produced by altering Type 3 and Type 5 shells. These were then replaced with the Type 91, which was specifically designed for underwater attack, with some loss in penetration under normal circumstances, and with its heavier weight and improved wind screen, ranged farther than previous shells at the same initial velocity.
