About the IJN Hiryu:
The Hiryu was a modified Soryu-class aircraft carrier that served in the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Commissioned in 1939, she was notable for her island superstructure positioned on the starboard side, opposite to most Japanese carriers. Hiryu participated in the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Indian Ocean raid before meeting her fate at the Battle of Midway in June 1942, where she was the last Japanese carrier to be sunk during that decisive engagement.
