I understand that the Japanese designation is Armored Carrier, and that the fan designation is CVB. However, CVB is the designation for a large aircraft carrier, which Taihou is not (think Midway or Shinano). In the event that a large carrier such as Shinano becomes available in the game, we want to give a proper class designation to distinguish Taihou (and potential future armored carriers) from regular CVs and large CVBs.
