Apologies for the excessive delay. This response kept getting pushed back....

Additionally, apologies for the long-winded & evidently nonlinear suggestion. Well, it was mentioned to be a discussion, but the suggestion itself could've been improved.

5 For consistency, as seen in Yamashiro & Taigei/Ryuuhou, the affected kanmusu should have applicable List of {shipclass} by maximum upgraded stats pages added to See Also.

-- For completeness, having kanmusu in all applicable Template:Shiplist categories would be preferable to an Ise should only be in Aviation Battleship solution. It will not be for comparison reasons, but factual reasons. As mentioned before, the Chitose-class & Taigei/Ryuuhou already have this issue & Katori instigated this discussion. The shiplist is shorthand for a full list & would preferably reflect it.

As the Template:Shiplist is at the bottom of every kanmusu-game-related page, people should not question if Mikuma or Chitose are not Heavy Cruisers or Seaplane Tenders, respectively, with such a solution. Or why they show up in the mentioned List of {shipclass} by maximum upgraded stats pages but not on the Template:Shiplist. Of course, pages will have notes to clarify the issue, but that would need to occur regardless.

Another set of reasons is to provide, with a quick glance, what abilities a kanmusu has. I.g. Katori may not be a light cruiser for expeditions but will be equipped as one, or Ise switches classes during remodel & people should not be wondering what is going on with a new Ise or one left unremodeled. As well as the issue of not counting as the other class for expeditions, branching, & whatnot.

An additional reason to do this would be that Ship Class or Ship List (Image) is inefficient for quickly browsing kanmusu. Specifically, there are the countless images to load & scroll through, & a text list is far more compact & readable. Going to a specific kanmusu page is even worse.

As an aside, can input be provided on how to deal with the inconsistency mentioned at this suggestion?
