CVB is a USN designation, not something the IJN ever used. And really, even the USN isn't terribly consistent about it. I've seen Midway called a CVB, CVA, or CV. But honestly, not many WW2-era CVs would qualify as CVBs. I guess you could argue Shinano from her size, but her plane capacity was actually smaller than most standard CVs because of the awkward conversion from a BB.

Anyway, I think the anonymous poster was mistakengly conflating CVB with having an armored flight deck. Those are two different things, though.

So what were we talking about? Oh yeah, rewards.

Have people forgotten that Oyodo was teased a while back? I really hope we get her at this event. Unryuu-class (most likely Unryuu herself) is pretty much confirmed. And of course there's Shinano. I really hope we get those three.

Spring event introduced three reward ships (Akashi, Amatsukaze, and Sakawa) plus Tanikaze as a drop. Midway ought to be worth at least that much.
