About this listen
After losing 4 aircraft carriers during the battle of Midway, and with the US continuing to retake more Pacific islands, Japan seriously needed another carrier. Enter Shinano, a Yamato class super-battleship refitted as a carrier. Unfortunately, due to shoddy engineering and a chance encounter with the submarine USS Archerfish, Shinano was not long for this world.
