Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū : ウィキペディア英語版
Japanese aircraft carrier Hiryū

was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during the 1930s. The only ship of her class, she was built to a modified design. Her aircraft supported the Japanese invasion of French Indochina in mid-1940. During the first month of the Pacific War, she took part in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Wake Island. The ship supported the conquest of the Dutch East Indies in January 1942. The following month, her aircraft bombed Darwin, Australia, and continued to assist in the Dutch East Indies campaign. In April, ''Hiryū'' aircraft helped sink two British heavy cruisers and several merchant ships during the Indian Ocean raid.
After a brief refit, ''Hiryū'' and three other fleet carriers of the First Air Fleet (''Kido Butai'') participated in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. After bombarding American forces on the atoll, the carriers were attacked by aircraft from Midway and the carriers , , and . Dive bombers from ''Yorktown'' and ''Enterprise'' crippled ''Hiryū'' and set her afire. She was scuttled the following day after it became clear that she could not be salvaged. The loss of ''Hiryū'' and three other IJN carriers at Midway was a crucial strategic defeat for Japan and contributed significantly to the Allies' ultimate victory in the Pacific.
==Design==
''Hiryū'' was one of two large carriers approved for construction under the 1931–32 Supplementary Program. Originally designed as the sister ship of ''Sōryū'', her design was enlarged and modified in light of the ''Tomozuru'' and Fourth Fleet Incidents in 1934–35 that revealed many IJN ships were top-heavy, unstable and structurally weak. Her forecastle was raised and her hull strengthened. Other changes involved increasing her beam, displacement, and armor protection.〔Chesneau 1995, p. 166〕
The ship had a length of overall, a beam of and a draft of . She displaced at standard load and at normal load. Her crew consisted of 1,100 officers and enlisted men.〔Jentschura, Jung & Mickel, p. 47〕
