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 history 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.

Akagi (Japanese: 赤城 "Red Castle") was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), named after Mount Akagi in present-day Gunma Prefecture. Though she was laid down as an Amagi-class battlecruiser, Akagi was converted to an aircraft carrier while still under construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. The ship was rebuilt from 1935 to 1938 with her original three flight decks consolidated into a single enlarged flight deck and an island superstructure. The second Japanese aircraft carrier to enter service, and the first large or "fleet" carrier, Akagi figured prominently in the development of the IJN's new carrier striking force doctrine that grouped carriers together, concentrating their air power. This doctrine enabled Japan to attain its strategic goals during the early stages of the Pacific War from December 1941 until mid-1942.
