Zuikaku

Zuikaku was a Japanese aircraft carrier used during World War II. It was part of Japan's Imperial Navy and played a significant role in major battles, including the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Midway. The ship was designed to carry and launch aircraft, serving as a floating airbase. Zuikaku was known for its speed, advanced technology, and experienced crew, making it a formidable force at sea. However, it was damaged in battle and eventually sank in 1944. Its contributions highlight the importance of carrier-based aviation in modern naval warfare.
