| ? | 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. | | + | |

| ? | |History= Hakuryu (白龍) was a never built Japanese carrier design based on improvements to the Taiho-class. Given the designation Project Number G-15, planning and development started in 1944 following the IJN defeat at the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the loss of Taiho. Hoping to improve on the flaws that led to Taiho's sinking, IJN naval engineers drew plans that included more reinforced armor, better damage control, larger hanger space, and larger deck area. The Japanese Naval Command hoped to construct the carrier in 10 months, however due to the lack of resources and trained pilots that Japan had suffered due to attrition, the plans were scrapped in favor of the more economical Unryu-class carriers. | | + | |
