[[Ship:Zuihō (< 23.01.2019)|Zuihō (< 23.01.2019)]] — Japanese Tier V aircraft сarrier.
A small and reasonably fast aircraft carrier originally built as a submarine tender then subsequently converted into a carrier. Despite her small size, that did not allow her to carry a large air group, Zuiho was equipped with good torpedo protection and a sufficiently powerful artillery for her type.

Player Opinion
Performance
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.
- Aircraft speed is superior to that of any plane Bogue gets access to.
- Plane reserve holds 2 more planes than Bogue’s.
- 4 squadrons compared to Bogue’s maximum of 3 squadrons , allowing for better projection of airpower across more of the map at once.
- A fighter squadron comes with every loadout.
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.

Optimal Configuration
Upgrades
The recommended upgrades for Zuiho are as follows:
- Slot 1: Air Groups Modification 1
- Slot 2: Air Groups Modification 2*
- Slot 4: Damage Control System Modification 1
Upgrade Slot 2 can be fitted with Flight Control Modification 1 instead, allowing the player to experiment between focusing on either faster air strikes or fighter survivability against enemy planes.
Commander Skills
As Zuiho is a Tier V carrier with only one 4-man squadron of fighters and many bombers, it's best to choose the following recommended skills. Emergency Takeoff is a more likely choice in case the player is ambushed by a destroyer, shot at by a battleship or cruiser from afar when detected, or attacked by the enemy carrier with dive bombers. Priority Target and Incoming Fire Alert are unnecessary because when a carrier is detected, the ship often becomes a priority target for many players.
ATTENTION
- As of Update 0.6.3, this carrier can no longer use manual / Alt function attack.
- Due to dive bombers having over 100% chance of causing fires, Demolition Expert is not a recommended skill.

Consumables
As a carrier at Tier V, Zuiho has access to only Damage Control Party.
Camouflage
Type 1, 2, or 5 camouflage can be equipped for credits; Types 1 or 5 are recommended at a minimum to reduce chances of being detected by the enemy.
Signals
As a carrier, Zuiho can only mount at most four signals at a time and has no risk of detonating. Players should mount Equal Speed Charlie London (for faster XP grinding / increased XP gain per battle), Zulu Hotel (when coupled with Equal Speed Charlie London greatly helps increase commander (re)training), and, for the last two / pair, November Echo Setteseven (for better bomber self-defense against fighters) and Juliet Whiskey Unaone (to have a better chance at causing flooding and dealing damage via flooding). However, the latter two signal flags are not highly recommended if the player wishes to conserve the signals for later tiers.Gallery
Historical Info
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.
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.
Historical Inaccuracies
- Zuiho’s 1944 disruptive camouflage scheme is missing.
- Zuiho’s actual aircraft loadout was six A5Ms, six A6M2s and twelve B5N torpedo bombers. At Guadalcanal, she carried eighteen A6M2s and six B5Ns. In mid-1943, her air group consisted of eighteen Zeros and eight Aichi D3A dive bombers. In June 1944, during the Battle of the Philippine Sea, she carried six A6M5s, fifteen A6M2s, six B5N2s and three B6N1s. Finally, at Leyte Gulf where Zuiho was sunk, she carried twelve A6M5s and five B6N1s.
- The blue fuselage stripes on the A6M2 denotes an aircraft from the carrier Hiryu, while the red fuselage stripe on the B5N2 is from Akagi; Zuiho's aircraft had triple white stripes, though these were removed by early 1943.
