Design and description [ edit ]
Mizuho was built to a similar design as the seaplane carrier Chitose , but with slightly less powerful diesel engines instead of Chitose ' s turbines.[3] She carried 24 seaplanes ,[1] and was equipped to carry twelve miniature submarines,[1] although she could not carry full loads of both at one time.[3]
Service history [ edit ]
Mizuho participated in invasion support for much of her career;[1] her first mission was with the Fourth Surprise Attack Force.[2] On 1 March 1942, planes from Mizuho and Chitose damaged the American destroyer USS Pope , which was later sunk by aircraft from the aircraft carrier Ryūjō and gunfire from the heavy cruisers Ashigara and Myōkō .[4]
Sinking [ edit ]
Painting of Mizuho
The American submarine USS Drum torpedoed Mizuho at 23:03 hours on 1 May 1942 40 nautical miles (74 km; 46 mi ) off Omaezaki , Japan. She capsized and sank at 04:16 hours on 2 May 1942 with the loss of 101 lives. There were 472 survivors, of which 31 were wounded.[3] [5] [6]
