Title: Recognition photograph of Japanese World War II carrier TAIHO CV-10. Plans
Caption: Recognition photograph of Japanese World War II carrier TAIHO CV-10. Plans. From a recognition standpoint, this unit constitutes quite a departure from previous Japanese carrier design. Enclosed bow is distinguishing feature. The island arrangement resembles that of the HAYATAKA, as does the general shape of the flight deck. This ship could easily be mistaken for the new British CV's and our own ESSEX units.
