For someone keep calling her CVB. Please, CVB is hull classification for Large Aircraft Carrier like Shinano and Midway (with maximum displacement over 60.000 tons), but because Midway was commissioned a week after the end of World War II, making Shinano is the only CVB in WW2. The Armoured Flight Deck CV like Taihou is still as "CV".

Here, you can compare displacement of Japanese carriers, Shinano is freaking big with displacement is as twice as "standard" CV like Akagi or Kaga.
