Victory at Sea - Shokaku

Victory at Sea - Shokaku lets you take command of one of Japan’s most formidable aircraft carriers, a key player in the Pacific theater of World War II. As part of the powerful Shokaku-class, Shokaku and her sister ship Zuikaku played crucial roles in early Japanese naval victories, launching devastating air strikes at Pearl Harbor and contributing to the sinking of HMS Hermes, USS Lexington, and USS Hornet.

Shokaku’s service was marked by fierce engagements, proving the effectiveness of Japan’s carrier-based warfare. However, her dominance came to an end during the Battle of the Philippine Sea when a US submarine strike ignited onboard fires, leading to her sinking. Zuikaku, the last surviving carrier from the Pearl Harbor attack, met her end at the Battle of Cape Engano after enduring multiple torpedo and bomb hits.
