I think you're mistaken : the Katori-class training cruiser were ordered and builtd between 1938 and 1940, as they were planned to be training cruiser from the very beginning.

There was a ship named Katori during WWI, but that was the lead ship of a pre-dreadnought battleships class which were all disarmed in the 20s according to the Washington Naval Treaty.
