Hakuryū — Japanese Tier X aircraft сarrier.
The G-15 project, or the Improved Taihō, had larger dimensions, an enhanced armor layout, and an increased air group compared to her predecessor. It was planned to build a series of seven ships, and the construction process was scheduled to end in 1948. After the Battle of Midway, these plans were suspended in favor of the Unryū-type aircraft carriers with a simpler design, and they were eventually entirely abandoned in 1943.

Player Opinion
Performance
Rightly dubbed as the "Sky Hammer" due to the notion that she can have a lot of squadrons in the air at any given time, the Hakuryu is a battleship's worst nightmare, with special mention to the Yamato which was sunk by aircraft during her very last sortie, as she can field a large number of squadrons, one particular loadout having six strike aircraft at her disposal, to destroy any capital ship or a standard ship in the water. The cost of having a large number of squadrons in the air however is the fact that each squadron has a small air wing than their US counterparts and can be easily destroyed by a very solid AA screen or good fighters that can intercept the planes. The carrier is no slouch when it comes to visibility as being large as she is, she has a rather reasonable concealment value, better than her counterpart the Midway.
Pros:
- Can put several squadrons into the air at any given time, especially strike aircraft
- Carrier itself has good concealment values
- Deck does not burn easily
- A daunting thing to be wary of in high tier matches
- Fighters are rather sound at their tier
Cons:
- Squadron has a small air wing which makes it a bit easy to have fighters intercept them
- Fighters are still swamped by US fighters in dogfights
