Armor Model
Overview
An aircraft carrier built to an improved design based on the Shōkaku class. The ship featured an armored flight deck that was integrated into the hull and served as part of the ship's structural strength. The Taihō was built at the Kawasaki shipyard in Kobe. In June 1944, the ship participated in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, where it was struck by a torpedo from the submarine USS Albacore. The crew was unable to contain the spreading aviation fuel and gasoline vapors throughout the ship, leading to two massive explosions that caused the aircraft carrier's sinking.
