My guess is that the new shipdaughter is Shinano, originally meant to be the third Yamato-class battleship but converted into a carrier after Japan lost their fleet carriers at Midway. Yamato/Musashi both refer to Shinano in some of their lines.

If it is, it should be interesting what they classify her as, since she was a support carrier rather than a fleet carrier due to issues with her hull. She could hardly be classified as a CVL either since she was absolutely massive (again, Yamato-class hull).
