| + | The Zuihō class (瑞鳳型?) was a group of two aircraft carriers built for the Imperial Japanese Navy before World War II. Both ships were originally built as submarine tenders, but were subsequently converted into carriers. Completed in early 1942, Shōhō supported the invasion forces in Operation MO, the invasion of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and was sunk by American carrier aircraft on her first combat operation during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May. Shōhō was the first Japanese aircraft carrier to be sunk during World War II. Zuihō played a secondary role in the Battle of Midway in mid-1942 and did not engage any American aircraft or ships during the battle. The ship participated in the Guadalcanal Campaign during the rest of 1942. She was lightly damaged during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands during this campaign and covered the evacuation of Japanese forces from the island in early 1943 after repairs.<br /> | |||
| + | <br /> | |||
| + | Afterwards, her aircraft were disembarked several times in mid to late 1943 and used from land bases in a number of battles in the South West Pacific. Zuihō participated in the Philippine Sea and Leyte Gulf in mid-1944. In this last battle, Zuihō mainly served as a decoy for the main striking forces and she was finally sunk by American aircraft fulfilling her task. In between engagements, the ship served as a ferry carrier and a training ship. | |||

Player Opinion
Performance
The Zuiho is almost twice as fast as the Bogue and has better surface concealment, but is more easily detected by aircraft. She has the speed and maneuverability to flee and evade incoming fire, but can put up surprisingly stiff resistance with her AA and secondary batteries. However, its aircraft are easy to get shredded, plane reserve is only enough to completely replace each squadron once
Pros:
- Reasonable AA and secondary battery capabilities
- Good concealment, speed and maneuverability
- Upgraded flight control loadout gives enemy ships a real pain once played correctly
- Decent armor, allowing for HE shells to be negated somewhat
- Ship speed almost twice as fast as its counterpart Bogue
Cons:
- Aircraft are easily outclassed and shot down by American fighters, have low HP and easily get knocked out by surface AA
- Can only deploy one squadron of fighters
- Planes are still very fragile, and the increasing AA is a threat to be wary of.
- Small reserve, can only replace the entire air group once, making it very hard to play
- Depends heavily on allied AA
Research
Researching the flight control first to trade a dive bomber squadron for a second torpedo squadron is a solid plan, but you can't go wrong researching things in any order on this one. Just note that the rudder shift time only improves on the "C" hull. The 5 km AA remains the same on all three hulls, while the 3 km AA increases considerably with each.
