"Let's be honest: Aquila was basically Jun'you called a CV rather than CVL."

Other than a completely redesigned machinery, Aquila had a real armored deck (80mm vs 25mm for the Jun'you), torpedo bulges, and a far heavier AA armament. All in all, her charateristics were very similar to an Illustrious class carrier.
