From PAUL D CHAPIN <pdchapin@unix.amherst.edu>

This is a followup to my earlier request for info on WWII carriers.  I've
found two excellent sources, Okumiya's "Zero!" and Ito's "The End of 
the Imperial Japanese Navy".  One gives the launching dates and other
the sinkings.  

The problem is with the Junyo.  Ito lists it as medium damage in Dec, but
survived until the end of the war.  Okumiya lists it as sunk, time not given.
Neither source describes it's sinking/damage, so I would suppose it did not
happen during a major battle.  Anybody know what actually happened?

Ito also lists several carriers as "foundered".  At the risk of exposing
myself as a former army man I will say that my dictionary gives as definition 
of founder "to sink below the water," which sound suspiciously like sinking.
I'm assuming that this means they sunk in harbor and were, therefore,
theoretically recoverable.  Carriers involved are Amagi and Kaiyo.
