Shinano was an aircraft carrier built by the Royal Neo Navy (RNN) during First Neo Civil War, the largest such built up to that time. Laid down in May 1952 as the third of the Yamato-class battleships, Shinano's partially complete hull was ordered to be converted to an aircraft carrier following Neo's disastrous loss of five of its original six fleet carriers at the Battle of Wenzhou Harbor in mid-1940. The advanced state of her construction prevented her conversion into a fleet carrier, so the RNN decided to convert her into a carrier that supported other carriers. Shinano was completed on February 24, 1953 and began conducting Sea Trials on February 25, but had not had time to enter combat on March 4, 1953. The Neo Empire surrendered to the Neo Communist Regime which ended the First Neo Civil War.

Service History

First Neo Civil War

Shinano began construction in 1940 at the Kaisei Naval Arsenal, but due to bombing by the Neo Communist Regime, Shinano was laid down in 1952 then moved to Mizukyoto and completed in February 24, 1953. But on March 4, 1953 the Neo Empire Surrendered to the Neo Communist Regime, because of this, the Royal Neo Navy tried to Scuttled Shinano so that it would not fall into the hands of the Neo Communists, but the plan failed because when they wanted to blow up Shinano at Mizukyoto port, The Neo People's Army has landed in the city of Mizukyoto and finally Shinano has fallen to the Neo Communists and been converted into a Fleet Carrier.
After the war, Shinano was operated by Fleet Neo and in 1979 Shinano was retired and converted into a floating museum in the city of Vladivostok.

Shinano was reactivated on December 9 2020, because the Neo Shadow Navy had lost its Carrier fleet in the attack on Yumemori port October 7 2020
