All ships, once reaching a certain level, can be remodeled (reach 'kai' status). Now, several ships can be remodeled into something else that entirely changes their class, while others do not have such option. Some examples:

- Ise-class and Fusou-class BBs can be remodeled into aviation battleships (BBV)

- Kitakami and Ooi (CL) can be remodeled into torpedo cruisers (CLT)

- Chitose-class seaplane tenders can be remodeled for a total of five times, which ultimately turn them into light aircraft carriers (CVL)

However, given where this thread is located, I have a feeling that you might have mixed up 'Modernization' with 'Remodeling'. They are not the same thing. The purpose of 'Modernization' is to improve certain stats of a ship - up to the cap - by merging other ships. This can be done at any level.

'Remodeling', on the other hand, is generally like raising the stat cap of your ship. But stat cap increase does not apply to ALL ships. For example, Ise-class BBs will have their artillery stat cap lowered if you choose to convert them to BBVs, however, their HP, evasion, anti-air, and LOS increase.
