*The hole on her Kai Ni CG's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Hiry%C5%AB#mediaviewer/File:Hiryu_burning.jpg flight deck] when she gets damaged is a reference to the damage her real-life counterpart sustained when she was targeted by planes from the USS ''Enterprise'', USS ''Hornet'' and survivors of USS ''Yorktown'' taken in by the former two. She was struck by bombs which caused the forward portion of her flight deck to cave in. Although her propulsion was unaffected and she wasn't holed, the fires from the attack were uncontrollable. She was scuttled by torpedoes from ''[[Makigumo]]'' and it took some time before she sunk, as reported by one of ''[[Houshou]]'''s aircraft.
