  Japanese Navy Ships--Hosho (Aircraft Carrier, 1922-1947)
Hosho, a 7470-ton aircraft carrier built at Tsurumi, Japan, was completed in December 1922, the first of her type to enter service in the Japanese Navy.
During much of the 1920s Hosho was Japan's only "flat-top" and, like her U.S. Navy contemporary, USS Langley (CV-1), was actively employed developing carrier operational techniques and tactical doctrine.
By the beginning of the Pacific War, Hosho had been relegated to training duties, but was used in a combat role during the Battle of Midway in June 1942.

Hosho (Japanese: 鳳翔, meaning "flying phoenix") was the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and while not the first aircraft carrier, it was the first purpose-designed aircraft carrier in the world to be commissioned.
Hosho was commissioned in on 27 December 1922, thirteen months before the Royal Navy's first purpose-built carrier Hermes, which was designed before Hosho.
Hosho was one of four carriers of the Japanese Navy to survive the war, but would be scrapped in 1947.

 Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho
The Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho (鳳翔) (meaning "Diving Phoenix") was the first purpose-designed aircraft carrier in the world, commissioned in December 1922, 7 months before the Royal Navy's aircraft carrier HMS Hermes.
Being the first of her kind, the Hosho was actively used to develop the aircraft carrier operational methods and tactics of the Japanese Navy during the 1920's.
By the beginning of World War II, the Hosho had been superseded by other models: she was too small and too slow to accommodate the newest types of carrier planes such as the Mitsubishi Zero.

Hosho is required to produce sufficient yearlings for its own market fish production, to supply the cage site at nearby Sadpara Lake (see below), and for on-growing at Mehdiabad trout farm in Ghanche District.
Due to its excellent position and water supply it is proposed that Hosho should also be the major location in the eastern half of the Northern Areas for production of yearlings to supply to private sector and community level organizations wishing to begin trout farming.
These are suitable as locations for very small hatcheries, or for on-growing a few hundred kilos of trout to market size as a family or community-level venture, but are inadequate for large-scale development as centres for trout fingerling supply to both government and private growout farms, and release to enhance wild populations.
