Japanese Strength, 1944. Report by J.I.C.

1 Jan 1944

3 operational carriers will probably be completed in 1944, one of them by July. Three battle-cruisers, mounting 12-inch guns, should have been commissioned in 1943, but as nothing has been heard of these vessels it is possible that at least two of them are being converted to aircraft-carriers. In fact, one new aircraft-carrier, which joined the Fleet at the end of 1943 and which has not yet been identified, may prove to be one of these ships. According to the original programme, a fourth battle-cruiser should complete in 1944, but information regarding any of these ships is lacking.
