Akagi is an aircraft carrier and the sole member of her class. Originally laid down as the second of the Amagi-class battlecruisers, she was converted to an aircraft carrier while still under construction, thus explaining her high durability for an aircraft carrier. She is often paired with [[Kaga]] for their similar histories and stats.

Aircraft carriers are best used for achieving [[Aerial_Combat|air superiority]], enabling surface ships to utilize [[Combat/Artillery_Spotting|special attacks such as double attacks or cut-ins]] while preventing the enemy fleet from doing so. In addition to ensuring air superiority, carriers can also take part in battle by equipping them with [[List_of_Dive_Bombers_by_stats|dive bombers]], [[List_of_Torpedo_Bombers_by_stats|torpedo bombers]] or [[List_of_Aircraft_by_stats_(Jets)|jet fighter-bombers]], which also enables the carrier to attack during the opening air combat phase.
