Well....yeah....she wasn't on my list but I still decided to make it. So here she is, HIJMS Hosho, the first Aircraft Carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

Commissioned in 1922, the ship was used for testing carrier aircraft operations equipment, techniques, such as take-offs and landings, and carrier aircraft operational methods and tactics. The ship provided valuable lessons and experience for the IJN in early carrier air operations.

She saw combat at the Sino-Japanese War and World war 2.

So basically the that's all about her. She has reasonably low parts count just in case you want to scale her up and land on it. I haven't tested landing though.

Enjoy and have a good day!~
