Appearance

Souryuu and Hiryuu, being originally designed as sister ships, share many similarities. Namely, they wear color-differentiated versions of the same clothes.

Souryuu wears a green dougi("道着") top, with the bottom of the sleeves fading to gray (the main color, green and blue, are said to be coming from her name "蒼龍" which means "Blue Dragon" literally; in classic Japanese the phrase " 蒼 " signified both blue and green). Her bottom is a green pleated skirt. She also wears a flight deck apron like Akagi and Kaga. Her full flight deck is attached to her right arm. Unlike most other archer carriers, she doesn't wear muneate.

She has medium-length blue hair in twintails.

Trivia

• The three smoking spots on the flight deck of her damaged CG reflects how she was sunk in real life.
• She was Japan's first purpose built Fleet Carrier.
• At speed of 34.5 knots, she was the fastest carrier in the world, along with Hiryuu.
• Sunk by air attack at the Battle of Midway, 4 June 1942
