Taiho-Kai (Discontinued
Taihō-Kai refers to an improved or follow-on concept associated with Japan’s Taihō aircraft-carrier design. The historical Taihō entered service in 1944 but was lost during the Battle of the Philippine Sea. The subject belongs to Japan’s intended expansion and refinement of carrier construction, with exact changes dependent on the particular design interpretation represented by the model.
Improved Taiho designs were intended to develop Japan’s armored-deck carrier concept further.
The improved carrier program remained unrealized as Japan’s shipbuilding resources faced wartime losses and competing demands. An armored flight deck and revised aviation arrangements were intended to improve survivability and handling, but these projected improvements never gained an operational record of their own.
