What Wikipedia says

The two Hiyō-class aircraft carriers (飛鷹型航空母艦, Hiyō-gata kōkūbokan) were built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II. Both ships of the class, Hiyō and Jun'yō, were originally laid down as luxury passenger liners before being acquired by the IJN for conversion to aircraft carriers in 1941.
