As I stated in a community post, this video is effectively a continuation of my videos regarding Soryu's and Hiryu's development. For comparison to those designs, you can check them out here: kzitem.info/news/bejne/yZmDt2qDjnWHi34 kzitem.info/news/bejne/y4mlrJ2vsYh4jYY Not all details are provided here on Shōkaku's design. Certain aspects will find themselves in dedicated videos for further information, like the story behind Japanese aircraft carrier islands. At 2:02 I say "Type 98," it is actually the 'Type 89.' I did not catch that until after uploading the video.

_Shokaku_ was hit quite a few times by bombs (Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons, Santa Cruz) and still made it through until _USS Cavalla_ put three or four torpedoes into her.

This is very well done. I recently visited the U.S.S. Texas in drydock in Galveston, TX. The early-model bulbous bow is interesting, especially when standing under it. It was necessary to destroy these ships, but it is too bad that none of the Japanese carriers survived the war.

I recall a documentary about Shinano, that they had shown images of Shokaku's construction, I thought it was at first Shinano herself, but it wasn't. Stefan Draminski had made a book on Hiryu, for the Anatomy Of The Ship, who was the one who did the 3d images for Janusz Skulski's book on Yamato, and Musashi. He had also made a book about Akagi, from Kagero Publication of their Super Drawing's in 3D series, I had gotten that book for a friend, who was planning to build Tamiya's 1/350 scale model of the carrier. Take care, and all the best.

Wow. I perked up when you described the rudder arrangements. Been thinking about 4 screws versus 3 screws and how many rudders and where they should be. Bismarck. Littorio. And now Shokaku. Nice. All this consideration began when I read that the Alaska Class large cruisers had one rudder. I thought then, "that seems awfully credulous of them".

I just keep learning more and more about the shokaku class. Each video that I've come across always brings another new detail about them thay others domt cover. Which is nice to see. Its also very interesting to see japan's approach to damge control and handling on their ships. Would love to see more about that. More specifically, the enclosed hangers over open hamhers and aviation fuel tanks being built into the structure.

INSTANT thumbs up before I even saw one second of the video- and I just made dinner. My day is complete. You are the MAN!

As Midway demonstrated, previous IJN carriers had glass jaws (though Kaga got pummeled to a degree I doubt any WW2 carrier could survive). As Coral Sea, Eastern Solomons, and Santa Cruz Islands demonstrated, the Shokaku class ships were TOUGH against bomb hits (and Shokaku got hit at each battle, not a lucky ship).

Interesting concepts thrown into the designs of both ships. At least it doesn't have the constant battle between what is more detrimental to the development process: Hiraga's stubborness or Fujimoto's drinking, Another great video, Crosser. Cheers.
