WP:MILHIST Assessment edit

If not for the infobox, this would be a Stub. Expansion needed. LordAmeth 18:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I have added the original aircraft complement from the start of the war. Shibumi2 00:02, 11 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hiyo in Heroes of the Pacific edit

In one of the campaigns (Mariana Islands), a carrier by the name of Hiyo is the main target once you reach the Japanese fleet.

Sinking the USS Meredith edit

I was looking on Combinedfleet.com, and the record for Hiyo there makes no mention of the attack on Meredith. However, the entry for Zuikaku and Shokaku says that those two ships were the ones that launched the airstrike that sank Meredith. Someone want to verify this? —Masterblooregard (talk) 02:17, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Sister ship Junyo edit

I was surprised that this article has no mention of the Junyo, her sister ship. This is particularly surprising given that the Junyo and Hiyo regularly served together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.184.236.240 (talk) 15:17, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Read it again. There are at least two mentions in the service section.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:30, 19 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hitaka edit

Edward L. Beach Jr. misidentifies this ship as the Hitaka in Submarine!, and I've seen that name floating around elsewhere. Should that discrepancy be documented in the article? Mackensen (talk) 23:40, 12 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

I've never seen it myself. Feel free to address the issue yourself, just be sure to match citation style and English variation.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:22, 13 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

detail in the lede edit

This article is rated as A class which means that it's been reviewed by at least 3 people for prose quality, compliance with the MOS, and factual errors. If they'd thought that the current level of detail in the lede was wrong, they'd have mentioned it during the review. So it's not just my stylistic preference.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:24, 14 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
