Japanese Battleship Iwami
Japanese Battleship Iwami
Iwami was a Borodino-class pre-dreadnought battleship captured by Japan after the Battle of Tsushima on 27 May 1905.
Renamed Iwami, she was rebuilt between 1905 and 1907 and she was commissioned into the Imperial Japanese Navy on 2 November 1907. At the start of the Japanese intervention in Siberia during the Russian Civil War, she landed a company of marines in Vladivostok. She was reclassified as a first-class coast defense ship in September 1921 and was used as a training ship. In accordance with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty, Japan agreed to scrap Iwami. She was disarmed in April 1922 and used as a depot ship until she was struck on 1 September. Iwami was moored to the west of the island of Jōgashima near the mouth of Tokyo Bay and used as a target by aircraft of the Yokosuka Naval Air Group from 5–8 July, finally sinking on 10 July 1924.

US Escort Carrier USS Barnes CVE-20
US Escort Carrier USS Barnes CVE-20
Launched on 4 May 1942, USS Barnes (AVG-20/ACV-20/CVE-20), was a Bogue-class escort carrier. Commissioned on 20 February 1943, her classification changed from AVG to ACV-20. She was reclassified again on 15 July 1943 to CVE-20 and on 12 June 1955 to CVHE-20.
During the Second World War, Barnes was used primarily to transport aircraft and personnel around the Pacific. However during the Gilbert Islands Operation, her aircraft undertook raids on Tarawa Atoll. In addition, during the Caroline Islands Operation, she acted as an aircraft replenishment carrier, enabling the fleet carriers to stay on station longer.
Post war she undertook occupation duties in Japan until 3 November 1945 after which she returned to the United States and was placed in reserve. She was stricken for disposal on 1 March 1959.
