''10 more Taihō Kai (Tenroujima) class ATVs were completed, with a whooping 50 planned. At the same time, 5 carriers of a different construction were sent to the AFOH. They were called Taihō Kai (Tairyū) class ATVs, named after a KIN light carrier of similar design that was sunk just a few weeks after launch and a few months before the AIF's official start. The main difference between the two were that the flight deck was increased, engine power and AA defence were slight reduced and the angled flightdeck was extended. This meant they could carry the larger flying craft of the AFOH in greater numbers. This would have many benefits. A total of 40 more are planned along side the other carriers.''

OOC: Oh the memories of the Tairyū...and how she sucked! In looks anyway. The island looked too big for her and was positioned in a way that spoiled her looks. But these carriers are just beautiful. And unique in my opinion. Take a silhouette of this carrier's bow and side and you can tell it apart from other modern themed carriers.
