Note: converted from a Yamato class battleship. The Shinano was not intended to be a fleet carrier, but rather a
replenishment carrier for other fleet carriers. The date of "completion" is really when she was commissioned. In reality,
she still had several months before construction would have been completed. She was the first Japanses carrier to have an armored
flight deck utilizing concrete. The Taiho fleet carrier was the only other Japanese armored carrier, but her
design used reinforced steel. Ironically, both ships were sunk by torpedoes and their armored flight decks were never put to the test.
