After four carriers were sunk at Midway, the Japanese converted Shinano from a battleship into a carrier. In secret, Japanese crews built the ship with steel scoured from across Japan. With repair and storage facilities for nearly 200 aircraft, she was the largest carrier ever built. Her crew complement was 2,400 men. Shortly after launch, she set sail for Kure to pick up aircraft. She never made it. The U.S. submarine Archer Fish sent the Shinano to the bottom with four torpedoes. This kit features a waterline-hull Shinano model.
