History:

Japanese Akagi was a Japanese aircraft carrier that served as the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s carrier fleet during the early years of World War II. Originally laid down as a battlecruiser, she was converted into an aircraft carrier during construction and commissioned in 1927. By the late 1930s, Japanese Akagi had been extensively modernized, gaining a full-length flight deck and improved aircraft capacity.

Japanese Akagi played a central role in Japanese’s early naval successes, including the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and campaigns across Southeast Asia and the Pacific. As flagship of the First Air Fleet, she coordinated massive air strikes that gave Japanese early dominance at sea.

Her service ended during the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After being struck by American dive bombers, Japanese Akagi was heavily damaged and later scuttled by Japanese destroyers. Her loss marked a turning point in the Pacific War and the decline of Japanese carrier supremacy.
