Japanese aircraft carrier Shin'yō
"Divine Hawk") was an escort carrier operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy, converted from the German ocean liner . The liner had been trapped in Kure, Japan following the outbreak of World War II in Europe, which prevented any attempt for the ship to return to Germany. The Japanese Navy then purchased the ship, and after the Battle of Midway in June 1942, decided to convert her into an aircraft carrier. Conversion work lasted from 1942 to late 1943, and ''Shin'yō'' was commissioned into the Japanese Navy in December 1943. After entering service, ''Shin'yō'' was employed as a convoy escort in the western Pacific. She served in this capacity for less than a year; in November 1944, the US submarine torpedoed ''Shin'yō'' while she was en route to Singapore. As many as four torpedoes hit the ship and detonated her aviation fuel tanks. The resulting explosion destroyed the ship and killed most of her crew.
