The Shinano (Japanese 信濃), originally begun in 1940 as the third Japanese battleship of the Yamato class, was completed as an aircraft carrier in 1944. She was named after the historic province of Shinano. However, as early as November 1944 - before her first deployment - the ship was torpedoed and sunk by a U.S. submarine while on a transfer trip off the Japanese coast. The Shinano was by far the largest completed aircraft carrier of World War II.
