Product Description
● Special Feature: Zuiho-class / Chitose-class Aircraft Carriers
Under the terms of the London Naval Treaty, even light aircraft carriers under 10,000 tons were included in the total tonnage limits, further weakening Japan’s position against the U.S. and British navies. In response, the Imperial Japanese Navy utilized the allowance for auxiliary vessels not restricted by the treaty, and constructed submarine tenders, fast oilers, and seaplane tenders designed from the outset to be converted into aircraft carriers in case of emergency.
These ships were later transformed into the Zuiho-class and Chitose-class aircraft carriers. The Zuiho-class was converted just before the outbreak of war with the U.S., while the Chitose-class was converted after the Battle of Midway, following the loss of four major fleet carriers. This issue delves into the roles these converted carriers played in supporting the rebuilt mobile task force.
