Unryu Aircraft Carrier
The Japanese Unryƫ class was a late-war aircraft-carrier program intended to provide additional fleet aviation capacity. Its design drew on established Japanese carrier experience, but construction, air-group training, fuel, and operational circumstances all constrained usefulness. The lead ship was sunk in 1944 while undertaking a transport mission. The design drew on earlier Japanese carrier experience rather than the huge armored-hull approach of Shinano. Only a few ships were completed as Japan faced shortages of fuel, aircraft, and trained crews. Unryƫ herself was sunk by an American submarine in December 1944. Aircraft shortages and declining fuel supplies limited their practical value after completion late in the war.
