Shouhou! I'm your senpai, when it comes to being an aircraft carrier!

1939/1/15: Launched as a submarine tender named Tsurugizaki. 1941/12/22: Renamed to Shouhou 1942/1/26: Finished modelling into an aircraft carrier.

1940/12/27: Launched as the aircraft carrier Zuihou. (She was remodeled before she became a submarine tender, Takazaki.)

Want to eat a tamagoyaki later?

I even experienced being in the 1stCarDiv.

Yes yes.
