"Which means that things on this page is NOT limited to the US classification." Just about everything there is. It's just that for some reason the French language had a lot of influence on nomenclature at the time.

"IJN said Shoukaku is CVB (large carrier), so she was a CVB" And if that's the case, then even at non-Kai, Kai and Kai 2 she's a CVB. A CVB without an armoured flight deck.

"the statement "Implacable/Illustrious wouldn't be considered CVBs in any case" stands entirely on the assumption that we do not accept CVB to mean armored carriers" I was talking about real life, but fine.

"BC" Doesn't mean shit.
