Historical Information
The Unryu class was developed as a wartime production carrier design derived largely from Hiryu, with simplified construction intended to expand Japan's carrier force rapidly. Only a few ships reached commissioned status before the war ended, and shortages of aircraft, trained aircrews, fuel, and time sharply limited their operational use.
 
Key Historical Details
Commissioned: Constructed at several Japanese naval and commercial yards under the wartime carrier expansion program; Unryu, Amagi, and Katsuragi were completed.
Class: Unryu class
Number in Class: 3 completed
Nickname: None commonly recorded
Primary Theater: Pacific Theater
Major Operation: Primarily late-war home-water and transport duties rather than sustained fleet-carrier campaigns.

Final Disposition: Unryu was sunk by USS Redfish in December 1944; Amagi was sunk at Kure in 1945; Katsuragi survived the war and later served in repatriation duties before scrapping. Several additional class members were never completed.
