Historical Description and Use

The Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano was the largest vessel of its class built during World War II and simultaneously one of the most mysterious projects of the Imperial Japanese Navy. The ship was created by converting the hull of the unfinished Yamato-class battleship. Launched in 1944, Shinano entered service only shortly before being sunk by the American submarine USS "Archerfish." Shinano was intended to play a key role in supporting aircraft carriers during the final phase of the Pacific conflict, but its combat career was cut short abruptly.
