Isn't the english word 'Capital' Ships? CS-CG has a nice ring to it. I delibrately avoided using the term "capital ships" because we (USN/ post-war) might have a definition of the term which is different from that of the IJN.

The Japanese counterpart of the term "capital ship" is "主力", which can be roughly translated back as "mainforce". Since the IJN's doctrine was based on Mahan's theory, carriers were not generally included in this term.
