Huh? Soryu and Hiryu are not sister ships. Soryu had the island to starboard.

They were sort of half sisters.

Actually they were sister ships of the Soryu class .... Odd, they made such a radical change as to the Island .... I'm guess somebody misread the plans during construction .... ;>

They are NOT sisters. Hiryu was built to a heavily modified Soryu design, making her a "semi-sister" maybe.

Stepsister at best.


Wnst Soryu the first Japanese purpose build carrier ?

warspite1

Yes, the first designed from the keel up. Hosho is sometimes given this award, but she wasn't designed as a pure carrier originally - but a part seaplane carrier.

I'm going to say this once, and I'm not going to say it again. Keep your hands off your sisters.

Kaga, Hiryu, Soryu, Akagi

This looks more like Shokaku and Zuikaku with ugly little Shoho on their way to Coral Sea.

What!!!????!!!! I trust you are not calling the delectable Lily James ugly Grafin?

This picture calls to mind HMS Illustrious and Lexington and Kaga. FACT.

No, the island on the opposite side was an intentional design to see if the ships would operate more efficiently when working in tandem.

Maybe certain USN ships operating near Japan would benefit from this? [:D]

Yes, Ark Royal and Courageous/Glorious works too - although probably better with the Ark and Hermes/Eagle as the ex-battlecruisers weren't that bad.

Valiant------------------------------Barham----------------------Warspite--------------------------Queen Elizabeth-----------------Malaya

warspite1

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships (5th Battleship Squadron). The middle one is of course HMS Warspite; pretty of face, ample of bosom, firm of buttock, with child-bearing hips, a tongue like an electric eel and likes the taste of a man's tonsils. Where's she been? Where hasn't she been. Woof!

HMS Disembowler is sorely offended by your omission...careful, or she'll omit something of yours. [:D]
