	IJN Aircarft Carrier Zuikaku - Alan Chung (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		There is a brief precis of IJN Zuikaku's service history as well as a brief look at the design process of the ship.
		Although any modeller wishing to find details of the IJN Zuikaku before she was sunk in late 1944, will have more research to do.
		I have seen the Author's stunning model of the IJN Zuikaku (which took 1st place in it's category at the 2003 Model Expo in Melbourne) and am somewhat suprised that the booklet does not include a short section on building the 1/700 Tamiya kit as this would also be of more value to the modeller.

	Battle of the Coral Sea: Action on May 8, 1942
		While the American planes were bombing the Shokaku and Zuikaku, the Japanese attack planes, 200 miles away in this criss-cross air battle, had found the Lexington and Yorktown and their screening force, consisting of seven American destroyers and five cruisers.
		More importantly, the Shokaku was too battered and the Zuikaku had lost too many planes to join the Midway invasion force a month later, during which the Japanese lost all four of their participating carriers.
		Had the Shokaku and Zuikaku been at Midway, the Japanese would have had a six-to-three carrier advantage and the outcome of the battle -- and the war -- could have been very different.

		It was ironic the Zuikaku’s air group had attacked at Pearl Harbor and later disabled USS Lexington (CV-2), leading to that carrier’s sinking at the battle of the Coral Sea.
		The AA fire during those attacks was of an order of magnitude that far surpassed anything that we had seen before.
		He asked immediately, "Which one?" I replied, "The Zuikaku." His eyes opened wide as he said, "That was my ship!" By then I was thinking of ways to move this conversation along to other topics because I did not want to embarrass him, but he expected a response.
