Description
[Machine Translation] The construction of the Illustrious-class aircraft carriers by the Royal Navy caused a stir in carrier construction in both the U.S. and Japanese navies. The U.S. Navy immediately began to study the pros and cons of an armored aircraft carrier, and the Imperial Navy began similar studies in early 1938. The U.S. Navy, which did not like the idea of reducing the number of aircraft it could carry, remained reluctant to armored flight decks, and decided to increase production of the Essex-class aircraft carriers, which could carry a large number of aircraft. The Imperial Navy, on the other hand, began to take the lead over the U.S. and the U.K. by designating the Hiryu, which was to be built after the Treaty of Disarmament, as an experimental ship to get a feel for armoring.
