As mentioned in the previous chapter, HiryÅ« was the second aircraft carrier included in â€œThe Second Naval Armaments Supplement Programâ€ of 1934. Originally both carriers were supposed to be sister vessels, but the number of design modifications introduced during the construction of SÅryÅ« resulted in many differences between the two. According to the original plans HiryÅ« was to be completed a year after SÅryÅ«, but her construction (similarly to her predecessor) suffered delays caused by two key factors. The first one was the implementation of the lessons learned during the reconstruction of Kaga, which was going on simultaneously with HiryÅ«â€™s construction. Then there was new data available from the early service days of SÅryÅ«, which exposed some of the designâ€™s drawbacks and weaknesses. The number of issues popping up â€œalong the wayâ€ was further increased by the Fourth Fleet Incident and by Japanâ€™s withdrawal from the previously signed naval treaties. Considering all those issues, it is not hard to imagine the inevitable impact they had on HiryÅ«â€™s original design and construction schedule. The greatest source of delays was undoubtedly the aftermath of the Fourth Fleet Incident, which forced the Navy Aviation Bureau to introduce changes in the design of the second carrier. After the new requirements had been implemented, HiryÅ«â€™s final design (known as the â€œBasic Project G-10â€) finally emerged.
