Soryuu is a standard aircraft carrier (she also says kokuu bokan in her introduction), which are classified as CV.

There's also Light Carrier (Kei Kuubo), referred to as CVL. They have lower plane slots, but can attack subs (this is not always a good thing, though).

And finally there's the armored carrier, of which Taihou is the only representative in the game so far. She is functionally similar to CVs, except has the ability to launch planes at medium damage.

You can compare her stats with other CVs here
