Why Did Shinano Become a Support Carrier?

#shorts #history

The massive Japanese aircraft carrier Shinano had a very short story. She was sunk by the submarine USS Archerfish during her very first voyage. Shinano was originally planned as a battleship like Yamato, but later converted into a support carrier meant to supply other carriers with aircraft and equipment. Even if she had survived, her impact might have been small. By late 1944, Japan had lost many trained pilots, so they did not have enough skilled crews to use carriers effectively. Shinano did have an armored flight deck, which could have made her tougher against bombs, but in reality she never even reached battle.
