^How is the person stating the facts the delusional one? The cards Rynoaz showed do not refer to her as a "CVB". In fact, none of the cards use hull codes.

115.77.226.25 has a point that the use of the hull code "CVB" to refer to Taihou or Shoukaku is just plain wrong, even if said erroneous use is the preference of players here due to simple familiarity, much like how the terms "CAV" or "FBB" get used here despite the fact that both also didn't exist as hull codes.

At the very least if we're going to be using US Navy Hull codes, at least use an appropriate acronym that sticks with the conventions laid out by the hundreds of other hull codes, like what the fans did for "CAV". There are hull codes that refer to "Armored" within the system - ACR for Armored Cruiser (this is obsolete), ATC for Armored Troop Carrier, and LCTA for Landing Craft, Tank, Armored.

If adding "Armored" to the CV hull code, then we can go with either ACV or CVA, and since the latter has already been appropriated for Assault Carriers, ACV would be the best and most descriptive acronym instead of CVB.
