We already had those discussion when Taihou came out, CVB is just historically wrong but the community didn't care enough in this case (Using the historically wrong CC for fast battleships was canned thankfully cause enough people did care)

So now we have a lot of people who are so used to a wrong term they don't want to lose it anymore.

Luckily for us it probably won't be a real problem (besides making people who use it look like retards) even if they add Shinano since the whole CVB classification was pretty much an US-only thing, and even Shinano was classified as fleet carrier just like Taihou, Kaga and all the others so she'll porbably end up as an armored carrier as well unless the devs really want to invent a new class for her.

Also note that hull-classification are just that: they classify the hull of a ship, so differences like fast or slow speed or if a flight-deck on top of the hull is armored or not just can't be differentiated by the hull alone, so that's why those ships end up with the same hull classification. The game however does differentiate ship classes based on more than just the hull, so the whole system of using hull-classifications for the ship-classes was flawed to begin with.

Best choice would be to go with armored CV, just like with fast BB before.
