IJA Akitsu Maru

132k Blyatnov  one year ago

Akitsu Maru was a Japanese "Type C" landing craft depot ship and escort aircraft carrier operated by the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). In some sources Akitsu Maru and Nigitsu Maru are also considered to be the first amphibious assault ships, although, this title can be disputed with Shinshu Maru that served a similar role, and being a template for Akitsu Maru.

    Heyyyy, Blyatnov, if you ever revamp your Essex or Lexington, can we get a Hellcat or Avenger? Your most recent Avenger is kinda old as heck, and you've never done a Hellcat as far as I know.
