Re: this class of aircraft carriers

[edit]

Hi, I noticed that this class of carriers are named as "Zuiho-class" when Japanese sources clearly state it as "Shoho-class".

As the ships belonged to the IJN, should it not be natural to adopt their naming conventions, instead of propagating the wrong one?
