Devs are japanese and they use the japanese terms. They never used CV, CVB or any other term like BB.

Also we have a lot players who don't speak japanese at all, that's why we have this wiki after all. So you can't expect people to use terms like 航, 正規空母 or 装甲空母 all the time.

And I know all the military tems, yet I still use CVB for armored carriers, as this is simply what came into use for this game.

Nobody ever claimed that we're 100% accurate on any real life terms.

And I quote myself from a comment further below:

"The only way to distinguish them is by their class (and maybe a bit by speed for branching). So even if we get Shinano at some point, it won't matter. Nobody will call her a CVB. There is no reason to do so.

On the other hand armored carrier have their own mechanics and need a name to distinguish them.

So for this game we call armored carrier CVB, since it's a game after all. "

And now stop arguing about something so stupid.

For this game CVB = armored carrier.
