Actually the Japanese tends to sort ships by the order during the initial planning period instead of launching periods. So even though a number of ships in the IJN came out earlier then their older sisters (ex: Tatsuda actually came out earlier then Tenryuu....), the order of the ships are predetermined in the planning period, thus creating this weird confusion.
