#WWIIHistory #NavalHistory #PacificWar #AircraftCarrier In the late 1930s, Japan's NYK Line designed two magnificent passenger liners—the Izumo Maru and Kashiwara Maru—to compete on the lucrative trans-Pacific route. But these ships carried a dark secret: they were designed from the keel up for military conversion into aircraft carriers. Before a single passenger could board, World War II erupted and both ships were requisitioned by the Imperial Japanese Navy. The Izumo Maru became the IJN Hiyō, commissioned in July 1942 just after the devastating Battle of Midway. But the Hiyō was cursed from the start: October 1942: Generator fire forced her to miss the Battle of Santa Cruz June 1943: Torpedoed by USS Trigger, requiring 4 months of repairs June 1944: Fought in the Battle of the Philippine Sea—the largest carrier battle in history On June 20, 1944, she was torpedoed again during "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot." The hit seemed survivable at first—her veteran damage control teams contained the flooding and fires. But the torpedo had done something far worse: it ruptured her aviation gasoline system. For two hours, volatile fuel vapor accumulated in her enclosed engineering spaces. At 18:30, a spark found the vapor. The resulting fuel-air explosion was apocalyptic—a column of flame shot thousands of feet into the night sky. The Hiyō didn't just sink; she erupted like a volcano, taking 247 crew members with her.
