The aircraft carrier Shinano was the aircraft carrier of the Japanese Navy during World War II. It was 266.6 meters long, with special armor on the hull and deck. It was equipped with eight double-mounted 127mm Type 89 high-altitude dual-use guns, 35 three-mounted 25mm Type 96 anti-aircraft guns, and 12 28-barrel 127mm rocket launchers. The Type 89 high-altitude dual-use guns were equipped with four Type 94 high-altitude commanders, two on each side. The carrier's aviation team consisted of 47 aircraft, including 18 Mirage A7M "Gale" fighters, 18 Aichi "Meteor" bomber and 6 Nakajima C6N "Caiyun" reconnaissance aircraft, and 5 spare. Shinano was modified from the third Yamato class battleship (No. 110). Construction began in 1940. After the Battle of Midway, due to the serious shortage of aircraft carriers in Japan, the Japanese Navy converted the half-built "Shinano" battleship into an aircraft carrier in order to improve the imbalance of Japanese and American naval forces. Due to the rush, the project was simplified, and there were many hidden dangers in the quality of the construction. Some airtight tests were omitted when the project was completed, and it was hurriedly incorporated into active service in November 1944. On November 28, 1944, the Shinano set sail for the first time under the escort of three destroyer. In the early hours of the morning, the U.S. Shooter submarine found it 100 nautical miles south of Tokyo Bay and tracked it for a long time. It then fired six torpedoes, four of which hit its starboard side, causing an explosion and fire. At 10:18 a.m. on November 29th, a large amount of water entered the Shinano, and the hull sank after a sharp tilt. It was the largest aircraft carrier built in Japan. Before the Kitty Hawk entered service, it was the largest aircraft carrier in the world. After its first voyage, it was sunk after only 17 hours, creating a record for the shortest aircraft carrier in the history of the world's ships. In addition, the aircraft carrier was not completed before sailing, and could not meet the design specifications. Although there were certain designs in underwater defense (such as the use of three layers of bottom, 50 mm thick protective armor at the bottom of the ship, and the bottom of the ship was 2.5 meters thick), it did not play a role. At the same time, the rush during construction led to quality problems, such as the lack of skilled workers, the shipyard rushing day and night to ignore the necessary processes (including the hatch watertightness test, etc.), the large gap between the water-tight hatch and the drainage system.

How was the aircraft carrier Shinano sunk in World War II?

On November 27, 1944, the Shinano left Okosuka for the Kure Port Shipyard in Hiroshima, escorted by the destroyer Hamakaze, Isokaze, and Yukaze. Shinano's inspector found the radar signal of the U.S. ship (actually the radar signal of the submarine, which was originally carrying out the mission of searching and rescuing pilots, but was discovered due to the maintenance of the radar and testing of the radar). Shinano's captain, Toshio Abe, thought that it was a trick of the U.S. army to lure the enemy, and ordered the ships to ignore it. The fleet moved according to the original plan and each destroyer was close to the Shinano. The radar was turned off and only lights were used to communicate. Even if the U.S. submarine was found, they were not allowed to act rashly. The Mariner submarine initially mistakenly chased the Shinano as an oil tank. At around 22:45 on the 27th, it caught up and found that it was an aircraft carrier. At this time, an escort destroyer attacked the Mariner. The Mariner dived to avoid it, but the Japanese destroyer did not attack (because of the cautious judgment of Toshio abe). After that, the submarine launched a torpedoes at Shinano, and Shinano sank after being hit. The novel "Hundred Years of Spaceship" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
