Akagi — Japan · Tier VIII · Aircraft carrier

The first large aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy. To comply with the limitations of the Washington Naval Treaty, the ship was originally laid down as an Amagi-class battlecruiser, but she was eventually completed to a reworked design as an aircraft carrier. As the flagship of the famous First Air Fleet, she played a key role in the Japanese Navy's successes during the initial stages of the Pacific War. In June 1942, Akagi was sunk by a U.S. carrier-based aircraft during the Battle of Midway.
