Japanese battleship Ise
On 12 April 1922, while at Yokohama, "Ise" hosted a delegation which included the Prince of Wales (the future King Edward VIII), who was accompanied by his second cousin, the future Lord Mountbatten of Burma. Captain Kanna Norikazu relieved Nagasawa on 1 December. The ship aided survivors of the Great Kantō earthquake in September 1923. From the early 1920s through the late 1930s, "Ise" mostly cruised off the coast of China. Little detailed information is available about her activities during the 1920s, although she helped sink the obsolete destroyer during gunnery training on 10 August 1926. The ship was overhauled in 1928–1929, during which her forward superstructure was enlarged and her aviation facilities improved.
Knut Moe
He operated an illegal radio post in Alta together with Torstein Raaby, Alfred Henningsen and Karl Rasmussen. The codename was "Ida", and it became a part of the network "Venus" of Northern Norway. They mainly reported on German troop and naval movements. Among their achievements was the 25 December 1943 report that the German battleship was heading into open waters. The ship was subsequently sunk in the Battle of North Cape. Rasmussen was later captured by Gestapo, whereas Moe and Raaby fled in May 1944 to England via Sweden and Finland. Imprisoned and tortured, Rasmussen committed suicide by auto-defenestration in June 1944.
