Originally laid down as the submarine tender, she was converted while under construction into an aircraft carrier. The ship was commissioned in November 1941.Shoho supported the invasion forces in Operation MO, the invasion of Port Moresby, New Guinea, and was sunk by American carrier aircraft on her first combat operation during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May. Shōhō was the first Japanese aircraft carrier to be sunk during World War II.
