Reverted them to Shouhou-class.

The story behind it is that Tsurugizaki(Shouhou) and Takasaki(Zuihou) were laid first as submarine tenders. Tsurugizaki was finished and commissioned first as a submarine tender. And just after Takasaki was launched, she undergone the convertion to an aircraft carrier and later renamed Zuihou. Tsurugizaki followed and later renamed Shouhou. Zuihou was first finished as an aircraft carrier so American sources classified her as the namesake ship of the class.



Japanese Wikipedia says Shouhou-class though
