Japanese aircraft carrier HiyĹŤ
Hiyō (Japanese: 飛鷹 "Flying Falcon") was a Hiyō-class aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy. She was laid down as the fast luxury passenger liner Idzumo Maru by Nippon Yusen Kaisha (Japan Mail Steamship company) but was purchased along with her sistership by the Japanese Navy in 1940 and converted to an aircraft carrier.
