Hmmm. Think of all the decent carriers and escort ships the Japanese could have built with the material and effort they sank into the 2 Yamato class battleships they did launch. Not to mention the wasted effort in trying to finish one uncompleted one as a carrier (Shinano)and then having it sunk while undertow to be fitted out. Japan did build some very good carriers. The Shokaku and Taiho class were excellent. Unfortunately for them the battleship mentality won out.
