Required for some Expeditions' requirements,
Able to perform Opening ASW, as other CVL cannot reach enough ASW to trigger them.

Misc

Survived World War II.

Due to her comments regarding opening a little store with the admiral, JP players often refer to her as おかみさん (Okami-san, lit. "boss lady" or the female owner of a typical Japanese store).
Her arrows have orange-yellow fletching as opposed to the white and green arrow fletching of other carriers, this is a reference to her role as a training carrier as the IJN painted its training aircraft a bright yellow or orange
She was the first purpose-built aircraft carrier to be launched. This, combined with her manner of speaking, has led her to be characterized as the mother of the other carriers.
The original Houshou appeared in the animated movie "The Wind Rises", the aircraft carrier visited by Horikoshi Jiro and his supervisor Kurokawa. Nagato, with the serpentine funnel unique to her class, was shown as well, albeit briefly.
