	Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Being the first of its kind in the navy, Hosho was actively used to develop the aircraft carrier operational methods and tactics of the Japanese Navy during the 1920s.
		Hosho was one of four carriers of the Japanese Navy to survive the war, but would be scrapped in 1947.

	Aircraft carrier
		Aircraft carriers are generally the largest ships operated by navies; a Nimitz-class carrier powered by two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines is 1092 ft (333 m) long and costs about $5 billion.
		To land on the carrier, incoming aircraft moving at 150 mph (240 km/h) are equipped with tailhooks to engage one of up to four arrestor cables stretched across the deck, stopping the aircraft within 320 feet (100 m) after engaging a cable.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the US Navy this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.
