Introduction Play	そう…私が大鳳。 出迎え、ありがとうございます。 提督…貴方と機動部隊に勝利を！	Yes... I am Taihou. Thank you for your reception. Admiral... I shall bring victory to you and your task force!
Library Intro Play	航空母艦「大鳳」です。 飛行甲板まで十分な防御を施された最新鋭の正規空母です。密閉型の格納庫も素敵でしょ？ え？ ガスが溜りやすい…ですって…失礼しちゃう。こ、今度は絶対に大丈夫！	I'm the Armored Carrier, Taihou. I'm the newest and most advanced standard carrier that is armed to the flight deck. Aren't these enclosed hangars great? Hmm? You say that gas builds up easily? How rude. I-It'll be fine this time around!	Taihou was sunk by a buildup of combustible gas which caused several internal explosions that sank her.
Secretary(1) Play	はい。最近式の密閉型の格納庫です。流星でも烈風でも問題ありません。	Yes, these are the newest enclosed hangars. I can fit Ryuuseis and Reppu's with no problem.
Secretary(2) Play	提督。大鳳の装甲甲板、気になりますか？	Admiral. Are you interested in my armored flight deck?
Secretary(3) Play	そんなに、甲板の色が気になるの？…提督の顔が近くて…私の方が、気になるわ。	Are you really that interested in the color of my flight deck? Your face is close... it's making me feel awkward.
Secretary(idle) Play	提督！この大鳳を待たせるなんて･･･なんて言わないわ。訓練や戦略は大事。十分に準備してから出撃しましょ？	Admiral! Making me wait... I won't say anymore. Training and planning are important. Shall we sortie once we've prepared?

Trivia

• Her name means "Great Phoenix"
• Sunk by a single torpedo by USS Albacore during Battle of the Philippine Sea, June 19, 1944
• Her being sunk six hours after a single torpedo hit is considered really unlucky, all due to an inexperienced crew, serious design flaws, and poor damage control.
• She's the only carrier ingame that can launch planes even when moderately damaged (orange).
• Has the lowest luck stat in the game.
