海鷹號特設護航航母（軍事研究），舊日本帝國海軍唯一幸存的護航航母，客輪成功改裝，飛機運輸、反潛護航、飛行訓練，僥幸以擱淺姿態存活至戰敗，戰後安然解體。Escort carrier Kaiyō

海鷹號的前身是大阪商船株式會社建造的遠洋客輪阿根廷丸，屬於阿根廷丸級遠洋客輪，同型艦為巴西丸。該級客輪建造於20世紀30年代後期，獲得日本海軍《優秀船舶建造助成施設》補貼，屬於戰時預備艦，設計之初便預留了航母化改裝空間，主要計劃用於日本至南美洲的遠洋客運航線。 海鷹號是日本海軍民船改裝航母中設計最成熟、動力最優秀、生存能力最強的一艘，憑借換裝軍用蒸汽輪機獲得優異航速與機動性，在殘酷的海上破交作戰中多次死裏逃生，成為日本護航航母中唯一堅持到戰爭結束的成員。 The predecessor of the Kaiyō was the ocean liner Argentina Maru, built by Osaka Shosen Kaisha (OSK). She belonged to the Argentina Maru-class ocean liners, whose sister ship was the Brazil Maru.This class of passenger liners was constructed in the late 1930s with subsidies from the Japanese Navy under the Excellent Ship Construction Assistance Program, making them wartime reserve vessels.From the initial design stage, space was reserved for future conversion into an aircraft carrier. The liners were primarily intended for Japan’s transoceanic passenger service to South America. Of all the Japanese Navy's aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships, the Kaiyō was the most maturely designed, best powered, and most survivable. Fitted with military-grade steam turbines, it achieved outstanding speed and maneuverability, repeatedly escaping death amid fierce anti-shipping operations, and emerged as the only Japanese escort carrier to survive until the end of the war.
