	"Junyo" Photo Gallery
		Junyo, first of a class of two 24.100-ton aircraft carriers, was built at Nagasaki, Japan.
		She was begun as the civilian passenger liner Kashiwara Maru but was taken over by the Japanese Navy in 1940, while still on the shipways, and converted to a carrier.
		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.

		Arisan Maru, for example, was torpedoed east of Hong Kong in October 1944 by an American submarine--either Snook or Shark (neither boat returned from that patrol).
		As tragic as the losses were on board Arisan Maru, Shiniyo Maru and the others, as ugly as Japanese indifference and cruelty were on those vessels, they were not the worst tragedy among the thousands of POW deaths from friendly fire.
		Junyo Maru was an old three-island, single-stack merchantman, displacing about 5,000 tons and sailing under the orders of the Japanese government.
