Originally a battlecruiser planned by the Japanese Navy, it belonged to the Tiancheng class. Due to restrictions imposed by the 1922 Washington Naval Treaty, it was planned to be converted into an aircraft carrier. Unlike the sister ship USS Chicheng (which later became the IJNAkagi aircraft carrier), the Tiancheng suffered severe damage in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, resulting in a damaged keel that was ultimately beyond repair. As a result, plans to build the Sky City were canceled and it was dismantled in 1924. The Tiancheng-class plan and the fate of the Tiancheng reflected the tensions of the time between the naval arms race and treaty restrictions, as well as the unintended effects of natural disasters on military planning.
