Japanese battleship Ise
Despite the expensive reconstruction, the ship was considered obsolete by the eve of the Pacific War, and did not see significant action in the early years of the war. Following the loss of most of the IJN's large aircraft carriers during the Battle of Midway in mid-1942, she was rebuilt with a flight deck replacing the rear pair of gun turrets to give her the ability to operate an air group of floatplanes; lack of aircraft and qualified pilots meant that "Ise" never actually operated her aircraft in combat. She participated in the Battle of Cape Engaño in late 1944, where she decoyed the American carrier fleet supporting the invasion of Leyte away from the landing beaches. Afterwards the ship was transferred to Southeast Asia; in early 1945 "Ise" participated in Operation Kita, where she transported petrol and other strategic materials to Japan. The ship was then reduced to reserve until she was sunk during American airstrikes in July. After the war "Ise" was scrapped in 1946–1947.
Iris (1811 ship)
On 7 February 1819, "Iris", Jones, master, wrecked on Canda Island, on her way from London to Bombay. (Canda, or Candy, or Candu Island does not exist. Contemporary accounts believed that the island was east of the Chagos Archipelago.) "Lloyd's List" reported on 13 August 1819 that "Iris" had wrecked on "Solomon or Canda Island"; this would suggest that "Solomon Island" was the Salomon Islands, a small atoll in the Chagos Archipelago. "Lloyd's List" further reported that had rescued Jones and some of the crew but that the rest of "Iris"s crew had remained on the island, and it was expected that most of the cargo would be saved. "Prince Blucher" had taken with her 40,000 dollars that "Iris" had been carrying. The "Asiatic Journal..." has an account of the wrecking and a subsequent dispute between Captain Lewis Jones and Captain Lagour, master of a French schooner, respecting compensation for passage for Jones and some of his crew to India. The account makes no mention of "Prince Blucher".
