An aircraft carrier built under the restrictions of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. Owing to her double-deck hangar, she could carry an impressive air group despite her limited displacement. Her drawbacks were low survivability and the small size of her flight deck, which hampered take off and landing for squadrons.
