I believe our current CV is modeled after the Enterprise, don't quote me on it though.

Which one?

"Our" navy is just fine. 

No need to model 2nd class ships in it. 

Japanese ships were 2nd class?

I think it depends on your point of view, and besides its not about if its a 2nd class ship, again its about the historical accuracy, and realism of the game.

Just wondered why he said that because Japan, at the time, had one of the more modern fleets in the world.

A lot of people have the idea that Japanese CVs were more vulnerable because of what happened at Midway, when the fact is they were about as tough as ours, we just hit them at the perfect time.  There was no damage control in WWII that would have saved the Japanese carriers at Midway given how they got hit.

There was another Japanese carrier that we claimed destroyed twice before we actually got her.

Pre-Pearl, sure they did.  But by mid 1943, they were revamping WWI era ships to be converted as carriers.  And then after midway........ Forget about it.

The IJN decided that this would take too long, and instead opted for a half-measure in which the aft two turrets of Hyuga and Ise would be removed and replaced with a flight deck, hangar, and catapults. While Hyuga and Ise could not equal a fleet or even a light carrier, and were not expected to carry the most modern aircraft, it was hoped that they would ease the load of the surviving carriers, especially in regards to recon aircraft.

This type of action took place often as the Japanese ran out of raw materials.  In 1939, they were as modern as modern got.  It was all downhill after.

Great pics Raptor!!!   I'm a naval warfare fan from long way back...
Japanese fleet was superior to the US Pacific fleet at the beginning of the war, Just like the Royal navy was superior to the US Atlantic fleet.. But with both US fleets combined, it was easily superior to either!!!
That was the two ocean navy envisaged at first by TR, and many others later.. Gave the US worldwide power!
The Washington Naval treaties arranged things this way.. But the Japanese cheated, and overbuilt many ships!

IJN was definately first rate, LOL!!!  He must be joking!!! Or uninformed...
