	Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Akagi, the only remaining member of her class, was launched on 22 April 1925 and completed at Yokosuka Navy Yard as one of Japan's first two large aircraft carriers in on 27 March 1927.
		Akagi was massively reconstructed in 1935–1938 to include an unusual port-side island and a full length flight deck, and to increase her capacity from 61 to 91 aircraft.
		Akagi took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Indian Ocean raid, and was sunk on 5 June 1942 by planes of the United States Navy during the Battle of Midway.

	Battle of Midway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Japanese attack on Midway, which also included a feint to Alaska by a smaller fleet, was a ploy by the Japanese to lure the American carrier fleet into a trap.
		Had the Japanese achieved their objective at Midway, the northeastern Pacific Rim would have been essentially defenseless against the Japanese Navy, since the remaining U.S. naval ships were fully deployed halfway around the world in the North Atlantic.
		Meanwhile, as a result of their participation in the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Japanese aircraft carrier Zuikaku was in dock at Truk in the Caroline Islands, waiting for an air group to be brought to her to replace her destroyed planes, while the lightly damaged Shokaku was awaiting repairs.
