Event Japanese English Note
Introduction 航空母艦「鳳翔」です。不束者ですが、よろしくお願いいたします Aircraft carrier, Houshou. Although I'm inexperienced, I look forward to your guidance. The latter part was a common greeting when a bride greets her new husband (esp. back in the days when woman walked three steps behind her man).
Library 航空母艦、鳳翔と申します。
最初から空母として建造された、世界で初めての航空母艦なんです。
小さな艦ですが、頑張りますね。
I am aircraft carrier Houshou.
Built as CV from the beginning, I'm the world's first aircraft carrier.
I am a petite ship, but I'll do my best.
Secretary 1 よい風ですね Pleasant wind, isn't it?
Kai お茶にしましょうか Shall we have some tea? Probably green tea. Don't fight with Kongou.
Secretary 2 お茶にしましょうか Shall we have some tea? See above.
Kai お疲れ様です。お風呂にしますか?御飯にしますか?それとも…ふふっ、冗談ですよ Thank you for your hard work. Should I prepare the bath? Or dinner? Or... hehe, just kidding. Stereotypical line of an old-fashioned "good housewife". The third option is usually, well, you know.

(wa..ta..shi..?)

Secretary 3 お疲れ様です。お風呂にしますか?御飯にしますか?それとも…ふふっ、冗談ですよ Thank you for your hard work. Should I prepare the bath? Or dinner? Or... hehe, just kidding. See above.
Kai 私の夢ですか? そうですねぇ、いつか二人で小さなお店でも開きたいですね…って、あらやだ、ごめんなさい。忘れてください。 My dream? Well... I'd like to open a little restaurant someday with you... Oh, what am I saying! Sorry, please forget it. Her remodeled line says she'd like to open a new restaurant, but according to Chitose's hourly notification at 19:00, it seems that she has already run one...
Idle (Kai) 提督、私ここに控えていますので、御用があればいつでも仰ってくださいね。 Admiral, I'll stay here, so please tell me to support you whenever you need my help.
Secretary Married 提督、何時もお疲れ様です。時には、ゆっくりお休みになってください Admiral, thank you for your long service. Occasionally, take a relaxing break please.
Wedding いつか…いつかふたりで、のんびりと船旅を楽しみたいものですね Someday... Someday, with just the two of us, I would like to take a laid-back sea cruise together.
Looking At Scores 提督にお知らせが届いていますね There's a message for you, Admiral.
Joining A Fleet 実戦ですか…致し方ありませんね Actual combat...? I guess that's inevitable. She didn't participate in actual naval battles until the end of WW2, because she was used only for drill maneuvers.
Equipment 1 すみません、私の武装を強化してくれるなんて。 I'm sorry, for you to be strengthening my armaments is...
Equipment 2 私には…少し大げさではないでしょうか? Isn't this too... fancy for me?
Equipment 3 大丈夫ね All right!
 ⇧ shared with expedition selection, resource collection, instant repair and development
Supply すみません、私の武装を強化してくれるなんて。 I'm sorry, for you to be strengthening my armaments is...
Kai 提督、ありがとうございます。 Admiral, thank you very much.
Docking Minor そうですね、少しだけお休みします。 Yes, I'll take a little rest.
Docking Major 私が無茶しては、ダメですね。 I shouldn't be the one acting recklessly. Since she's the mother of all aircraft carriers in IJN
Docking Complete お洋服の修繕が終わった娘がいるみたいね。 A girl with fixed outfit has returned.
Construction 新しい子たちが来るみたいね It looks like a new girl is here!
Returning From Sortie お疲れ様でした、艦隊が帰って来ましたね Thank you [for commanding the fleet activities]. The fleet is back.
Starting A Sortie 鳳翔、出撃いたします Houshou will commence action!
Battle Start 風向き…良し!航空部隊、発艦! Wind direction... Check! Air unit, take off!
Air Battle いつまでも演習ってわけにも行きません We can't be doing exercises forever! Houshou spent a large part of her time during the WW2 near the mainlands as the practice vessel for newbie pilots.
Attack これは…演習ではなくて実戦よ This is an actual combat, not an exercise!
 ⇧ shared with day/night special attacks, support expedition team arrival
Night Battle やる時は…やるのです! I shall do it when I must!
MVP そんな・・・本当ですか?私もお役に立てたのなら…嬉しいです What... Really? It's my pleasure to have been of some help to you! She participated in Battle of Midway but did not actively engage in combat.
Minor Damage 1 ああっ! 飛行甲板が! Uhn!? My flight deck...!
Minor Damage 2 あぁぁっ! Eek!
Major Damage このまま沈む訳には参りませんっ! I'm not going to sink like this!
Sunk 私も…沈むのですね… Even I... sink as well, huh... Houshou came unscathed during WW2 because she's outdated.In 1946, she was scrapped.

Character[]

Appearance[]

  • Like some other carriers, her attire is based on kyūdo (Japanese archery) equipment. She wears a scarlet kimono, a dark hakama, and a matching tasuki (a rope to tuck up the kimono sleeves to prevent them from getting in the way). She holds a bow with her left hand, and wears a yugake (deerskin glove) on her right hand. Her flight deck is attached to her left arm. She has a set of arrows on her back with the Japanese aircraft insignia (red circle) on the arrow fletchings.

Personality[]

  • Hōshō (Houshou) was the world's first commissioned ship that was designed and built as an aircraft carrier (Other carriers in her days were conversions from other types of ships). For this reason, she can be considered to be the "mother" of all carriers and is given a very motherly, reserved and caring personality.
  • Her quotes also suggest that she is a stereotypical "good wife" of the old days. You can bet she's a good cook too; in fact, Chitose Carrier Kai 2's hourly line on 7 pm indicates that she runs a restaurant or possibly, an izakaya (something like a pub or a bar).

Trivia[]

  • Her name literally translates as "phoenix in flight" (鳳=phoenix, 翔=soar/fly).
  • Hoshou was the first IJN carrier, and the first vessel in the world that was designed and built as an aircraft carrier, not converted.
  • Lowest consumption out of all the carriers, which is good for expeditions.
  • Her arrows have orange-yellow fletchings as opposed to the white and green arrow fletchings of other carriers. This is a reference to the IJN's way of painting its training aircraft, a bright yellow or orange color such as Prototype Nanzan.
  • She served as a repatriation transport to retrieve Japanese servicemen and civilians stationed overseas and to return them to Japan. During her repatriation mission, she was modified (i.e., her hangars were cut) to carry more passengers to continue her repatriation trips. She ultimately carried transports of about 40,000 passengers before she was scrapped.
    • Scrapping began September 2, 1946 after the mission of repatriations was over.
  • Participated in the Battle of Midway with the task of providing modest air protection, scouting, and anti-submarine support to the Main Body (consisting of Yamato, Nagato, Mutsu).
  • A Yokosuka B4Y 'Jean' from Houshou took aerial photographs of a burning Hiryuu on June 5th 1942 after the Battle of Midway.
  • She would have had a sister ship, the IJN Shokaku, which was cancelled in 1922 according to the Washington Naval Treaty; Shoukaku was used for the new Fleet Carrier class following Hiryuu and Soryuu instead.
