<!--- ==Historic Background==
 +
 +
===Post Doolittle Raid===
 +
Following the American's attack on the Japan's mainland on the Doolittle Raid (which resulted in several of Japan's main key structures taking major damage and [[Ryuuhou]] being damaged delaying her launch as a light carrier), Japan began to conduct a counter measure known as the '''"Third Fleet Operation plan"''' an operation to attempt to organize a fleet to take out the American Carrier forces which may threaten thier operation to expand thier growing boundaries across the Pacific Ocean.
 +
 +
The first attempt at this was to attempt to take out the USS Hornet following after the raid it conducted on the Japan Mainland. Japan would organize a fleet to attempt to intercept Hornet which consisted of:
 +
 +
Heavy Cruisers: [[Atago]](flagship), [[Takao]], [[Chokai]], [[Maya]], [[Myoukou]], [[Haguro]]<br>
 +
Seaplane Tender: [[Mizuho]]<br>
 +
Standard Carriers: [[Souryuu]], [[Hiryuu]]<br>
 +
Light Carrier: [[Shouhou]]<br>
 +
Light Criuser: [[Jintsuu]]<br>
 +
Destroyers: [[Arashi]], [[Nowaki]], [[Asashio]], [[Arashio]], [[Oyashio]], [[Kuroshio]], [[Sazanami]], [[Ushio]]<br>
 +
 +
The plan was to organize these ships to use for the operation and while most were able to participate in the operation, Standard Carriers [[Souyruu]] and [[Hiryuu]] were too far away to help assist as they were returning from the Indian Ocean Raid. The attempt to search and intercept the USS hornet would end up as a failure as they were unable to engage the American Carrier.--->
