Airplanes aside, does Shoukaku and Zuikaku's second remodels bring their performance anywhere close to the Essex-class carriers?

hmm, couldn't find much of anything about Operation Rei-Go apart from non-indicative Battle of Mindoro. think you could tell about it? Well... Shoukaku K2/K2A was almost entirely fictional, you know, so it is hard to say if they have similarities...

Although according to the stats in-game, Shoukaku-class K2 is somewhat close to the American Yorktown-class

OP Rei-Go was a counterattack against the Mindoro Landing. The IJN sent six DDs, Ooyodo and Ashigara, and sunk a transport ship, a few PTs, and damaged the airfield nearby, while losing Kiyoshimo.
