Now, I realise my stuff is entry level, but some folks need to start small.

Purpose built carrier with (apparently) no island?

I'm thinking Japanese...

Why do you say purpose-built?

Definately something from the 1910s or 1920s. Can't find any obvious matches on aircraft carriers, I wonder if it could be a sea plane or airship tender...

It is very similar to Kaga but it looks very different, could be during construction.

It's quite small, judging by the crewmen visible; don't think it's the Kaga.

I'm thinking purpose built because of the positioning of the gun emplacements on the side. They don't like a retrofit.

How about the Hosho?

Port bow view. Lack of island does give it a "Japanese" look.
