IJN Soryu

The IJN Soryu was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy. As opposed to some earlier Japanese carriers which were redesigns on battlecruiser (Akagi) or battleship (Kaga) hulls, she was designed from the start as an aircraft carrier. At close to 65 km/h (35 kts)[1], she was the fastest carrier in the world at launch.

Soryu in Days of Infamy
After the Doolittle raid on Oahu, the two Carriers in the vicinity, the Akagi, and the Soryu were dispatched to hunt down the remaining US Carriers and destroy them. However, the US Submarines were waiting and put two torpedos into her side, severally crippling the carrier and forcing her back to Japan for extensive repairs. The Soryu would never again return to Hawaii.
