	Tamiya 1/700 IJN Aircraft Carrier Junyo : hobby888.com
		Like Zuikaku, Junyo received concrete protection around her aviation fuel tanks before the end of her career, by which time she was fitted with Type 13 (on a tripod mast abaft the island) and Type 21 (atop the island and on the portside flight-deck edge, aft) radar antennae.
		Junyo took part in the Aleutians attacks in June 1942, and prior to the Battle of Santa Cruz, during which she was engaged in strikes against the carrier Enterprise and the battleship South Dakota and cruiser San Juan, she assisted Hiyo in the despatch of the destroyer Meredith.
		Junyo was seriously damaged during the Philippine Sea action and suffered further damage in December 1944 when she was hit by torpedoes from the submarines Redfish and Sea Devil off Nagasaki; she was never repaired and was laid up for the duration.

	Japanese aircraft carrier Junyō - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Junyō (Japanese: 隼鷹 junyō meaning "peregrine falcon") was a Hiyō-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy.
		In Spring 1943, her planes were sent to Rabaul, with those of other Japanese carriers, for land-based attacks on the Allied forces gathering at Guadalcanal.
		On 9 December 1944, Junyō was carrying 200 survivors of Musashi and was accompanied by the battleship Haruna and the destroyers Suzutsuki, Fuyutsuki, and Maki.

		The Japanese have a skill advantage in their "Bomber" ability, and that helps with getting hit on high level warships, but Japans bombs are sub-par to German and American weapons.
		Japanese torpedo bombers are on average with German and Americans, but the British retain the lead in this area in both weapon damage and aircraft durability.
		Japanese dive-bombers are less durable than the other three nations, and the Germans and Americans carry better bombs, but the Japanese dive-bombers are slightly faster and you get them a little earlier.

	War in the Pacific (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Failure to understand Japanese intentions and a lack of coordination concerning the availible intelligence contributed largely to missing what in hindsight seems to be clear signs of a major threat to Pearl Harbor.
		Among the routine decoded Japanese radio traffic was word that Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack, was conducting a one day inspection of bases in the Solomon islands.
		Four planes closed on the first Betty bomber carrying the Admiral and after two broke off the remaining pair pursued the bomber down to the jungle and in a confused affair riddled the bomber with bullets until it crashed.

	Japanese Navy Ships--Junyo (Aircraft Carrier, 1942-1947)
		Junyo, first of a class of two 24,100-ton aircraft carriers, was built at Nagasaki, Japan.
		As one of four large aircraft carriers remaining after the Midway action, Junyo was an important unit of the Japanese fleet during the next two years, even though she had a lower speed (about 23 knots) and smaller air group (about fifty planes) than built-for-the-purpose fleet carriers.
		A year later, as the U.S. assaulted the Mariana Islands, Junyo joined the rest of Japan's aircraft carriers in the sortie that produced Battle of the Philippine Sea on 19-20 June 1944.

	First Battle of the Phillipine Sea, 18 - 20 June 1944
		The Japanese command knew that their forces would suffer from a considerable inferiority in carrier airpower, and they were therefore depending on their own land based air power to redress the balance.
		Another blow to their expectations was that the threat from American submarines restricted Japanese carriers to their anchorage, so that they were unable to conduct proper flight training in the run up to the battle.
		On the Japanese side there was great confusion caused by the fact that Ozawa attempted to control his forces from the destroyer Wakatsuki, to which he and his staff had transferred when the Taiho had to be abandoned.

	Sandcastle V.I. - Carriers: Airpower at Sea - The Great Carrier War / Part 10
		Although the Japanese built 27 carriers of different classes during the course of the War, all except 5 were eventually sunk.
		The nine Japanese carriers had a total of 475 aircraft, which were supplemented by land- based aircraft from Guam.
		The Japanese ships were at the limit of the range of the American planes, but the pilots mounted their attacks, sinking the carrier Hiyo; damaging the carriers Zuikaku, Junyo, and Chitose; and shooting down another 65 planes.

	Star Games WW II Exhibits - Japanese Radar Of World War II
		The Japanese military was late to understand the value of radar, but when development was finally undertaken full force, some fairly effective sets were developed and employed during the war.
		Since the Army had modified and employed a few Ka-1's expressly for ASW work on their merchant aircraft carrier the Akitsu Maru, it shows the depth of the dislike between the two Japanes service branches that this connection of sensor system and aircraft were never made.
		Japanese radar of 1945 was roughly equivalent to that employed by the US in 1942 and 1943, while at that point the Americans and British had advanced fire control radars in common service with both anti-ship and anti-air capability.

	Japanese Carriers of WW2
		During this period, Japan produced a new big carrier, Taiho, and converted two seaplane tenders and a submarine tender to light carriers, three passenger liners to escort carriers, two battleships to handle aircraft, and neared completion of the world's largest aircraft carrier, Shinano.
		Aircraft from TF 38 launch two-day attack on the Inland Sea area, Japan, striking Kure Naval Base and airfields at Nagoya, Osaka, and Miho.

		In October and November of 1945, she carried Japanese POW's from Saishu To (also known as Quelpart Island - off the Southern tip of the Korean peninsula) and Taku, China to Sasebo, on the Island of Kyushu.
		By the end of the war, the Japanese fleet had been reduced to two aircraft carriers that could still steam and several incomplete hulks.

		Junyo, first of a class of two 24,100-ton aircraft carriers, was built by Mitsubishi at Nagasaki, Japan.
		She was equipped with two aircraft hangars, two lifts, and was the first class of Japanese carriers to have the funnel incorporated into the structure of the island.
		At the end of the Pacific War, Junyo was moored at Sasebo, where she was scrapped in 1947 after servicing as a repatriation vessel.

		Conversion was typical of the light carriers, but with a single hangar, one half the boilers removed for fuel storage, and a relatively large island.

	FW: The Carrier Battles
		Carrier battles make for interesting campaigns as they were carried out by limited forces (those aboard ship) at a set of limited targets (an island or an opposing task force), unhindered and unaided by units outside the scope of the campaign - especially across the trackless expanses of the Pacific.
		The carrier developed from what was seen as a supporting unit by naval theorists in the 1920s and 1930s (portable air-cover against annoying enemy scouts) to the main striking arm of a bluewater navy.
		The Japanese were aware of the presence of US carriers in the area, and hoped to nail one to help even up the odds after Midway.

		Both served as fleet carriers, as had been intended from their requisition in August 1940, but were much less capable ships than the four big carriers lost at Midway.
		In a carrier battle, she would serve as a floating station to re-fuel and re-arm the planes of other carriers’ squadrons.
		Thus, while she is not the most capable Japanese aircraft carrier she is extraordinarily tough to sink, but like any carrier she can be put out of action fairly easily.

	IMPERIAL JAPANESE NAVY MYSTERIES
		The light Japanese aircraft carrier HIYO was one of three sunk in the Battle of the Marianas, or in American accounts, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, the so-called "Turkey Shoot".
		At a glance it is immediately obvious that the Oshita account flatly and continually contradicts the report of the bailed out American fliers reported by Morison, insisting on the HIYO sinking by the stern, not by the bow, but agreeing in the detail of a sharp-angle plunge.
		The carrier began burning and drifting, and listing to port, and inexorably, began to settle aft where the hole in the stern was.

		The Japanese Imperial Navy was equipped with nine carriers while the American Task Force 58 had seven large and eight light carriers.
		Even with the lights on, landing on a carrier in a moonless night with a damaged gas starved aircraft was the most dangerous condition Cleland faced.
		After the Japanese pilots realized their mistake they simply turned away and tried to fly back to their own carriers of which now they would never be able to make without enough gas.

		He made a forced landing on the island of Rota, between Saipan and Guam, and lived in a cave on the island until the end of the war, when he was taken prisoner and held for 15 months until he was repatriated to Japan.
		He began by quoting a Japanese proverb: "The defeated should not talk about the battle." He then added, "I can only say that I fought as I was trained in those times." What follows is his account.
		All the airplanes of six carriers were assembled in several aerodomes at Kyushu, and we trained hard every day and night, without rest.

		You said you thought the operation was carried out more or less according to plan; we had information that the Third Fleet had intended to go into LINGGA and operate in conjunction with the Second Fleet, as in the MARIANAS, rather than operating as a decoy as eventually happened.
		My principal observation is that when the Japanese air unit is placed at the front, they stay there until all the pilots are killed without leaving any skilled nucleus to create new force; furthermore, the training organ was insufficient and gasoline ran short.
		You see Japanese cruisers particularly and also destroyers were so fearful of your air raids that although strictly ordered to do as I mentioned, their adherence to orders was not particularly well carried out.
