There are So Few Japanese Aircraft Carriers For CFS2

[casey jones]

Ihave spent days searching for IJN Carriers, many of the sites I found were shut down. I was able to find three Japanese Carriers on a site which I have lost but I right away putthem on a CD for safe keeping.

I have about 15 IJN Caarriers in my ships folder.This doesn't include the stock ones or the variants of some of them.All together that would be 20 to 25.

The IJN only had eight or so real fleet carriers, at least ships comparable to our fleet carriers. Shokaku and Zuikaku were probably the longest lived as well as the most capable and useful of all the IJN CVs. In many ways they were comparable to our Essex Class.

Fleet Carriers:

Akagi (CB hull)
Kaga (BB hull)
Soryu (CV comparable to the Yorktown Class)
Hiryu (CV comparable to the Yorktown Class)
Shokaku (CV comparable to the Essex Class)
Zuikaku (CV comparable to the Essex Class)
Shinano (Yamato BB hull. Sunk by the USS Archerfish)
Taiho (CV with armored deck. Sunk by sub torpedos)

There were also several conversons of ocean liners, seaplane tenders, cargo and tanker ships into what we would consider light and escort carries. These generally had an aircraft compliment of around 30 and speeds between the low 20s to the high 20 knot range. Some used detroyer machinery for convenience or necessity.

The following come to mind:

Taiyo class (3 units)
Ryujo (1 unit)
Hiyo Class (2 units)
Unryu Class (3 units-most capable of the later classes)
Shoho (1 unit-first IJN CV)
Chitose Class (2 units)
