Long story short, we've come to the conclusion that changing the current hull code of Taihou & Shoukaku Kai-2 A just because two or three guys are pissed because everyone keeps using CVB even though it's historically inaccurate is a waste of energy.

Yes, those ships weren't officially referred to as CVB, but we have to distinguish ship types somehow, and CVB has been commonly used for them since I don't know when, historical accuracy be damned. Not just on this wiki, but also on Himeuta, Reddit, etc. Changing it to CVA or whatever just on this wiki doesn't contribute to anything except cause confusion between communities.

Besides, as it turned out the whole argument against assigning CVB to Taihou & Shoukaku Kai-2 A hinges on the assumption that Shinano, an actual CVB, - should she ever get implemented - will have a unique ship class that corresponds to CVB and will therefore be different to the ship type Taihou & Shoukaku belong to.

But the general consensus we arrived at in the chat is that she's most likely just gonna be another 装甲空母, which means the whole shitstorm about the hull code has been pointless from the beginning.

So yeah, you don't have to change anything, just leave everything as is.
