Veryfire 1/350 Japanese Armored Aircraft Carrier Taiho
Battle of the Philippine Sea
During World War II, the Imperial Japanese Navy's Taihō (meaning Great Phoenix) was an aircraft carrier.
She was a dramatic departure from previous Japanese aircraft carrier design, with substantial belt armour and an armoured flight deck (a first for any Japanese aircraft carrier), and was designed to not only survive several bomb, torpedo, or shell attacks, but also continue fighting efficiently thereafter.
She was cast down on 10 July 1941 by Kawasaki in Kobe, launched over two years later on 7 April 1943, and commissioned on 7 March 1944.
She sank during the Battle of the Philippine Sea on June 19, 1944, as a result of explosions caused by design faults and poor damage management after being hit by a single torpedo from the American submarine USS Albacore.
