The battleship was a predominant element of all naval tactics of the time and Japan's older capital ships, too, had been successively modernized during the interwar period, most of them staying fully capable for a modern naval war.
The revolutionary development of naval aviation, of course, changed all that, so that battleships in general were reduced to the role of anti-aircraft screening for the aircraft carriers, with their demise as a consequence.
