As a result of the WNT Japan started work converting two Amagi class battlecruisers into aircraft carriers. In September 1923 though the Toyko Earthquake caused so much damage to Amagi's hull that she had to be scrapped.
Was there any particular reason that Amagi was damaged so badly when Akagi was not or was the former ship simply unlucky?
Also does anyone have any information on the third ship in the class the Atago?
