Shinano (信濃), was an aircraft carrier built by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) during World War II, the largest such built up to that time. Laid down in May 1940 as the third of the Yamato-class battleships, Shinano's partially complete hull was ordered to be converted to a carrier following Japan's disastrous loss of four fleet carriers at the Battle of Midway in mid-1942. Her conversion was still not finished in November 1944 when she was ordered to sail from the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal to Kure Naval Base to complete fitting out and transfer a load of 50 Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka rocket-propelled kamikaze flying bombs. Hastily dispatched, she had an inexperienced crew and serious design and construction flaws, lacked adequate pumps and fire-control systems, and did not even carry a single carrier aircraft. She was sunk en route, 10 days after commissioning, on 29 November 1944, by four torpedoes from the U.S. Navy submarine Archerfish. Over a thousand sailors and civilians were rescued and 1,435 were lost, including her captain. She remains the largest warship ever sunk by a submarine.

In the looks department, Shaneal is never lagging. She is a very attractive woman and she knows it. Guys are drawn to how mysterious and attractive she is. Shaneal is witty and will keep you on your toes. She is private and doesn’t like to over share. She considers that to be a privilege exclusive to only her closest family and friends. She is also stronger than most and can take on a lot of pressure and even rejection. She is an amazing woman to be in a relationship with because she will bring out best in her partner, uplifting and encouraging them to dream bigger. Don’t get on her bad side though because she does not forgive easily. She will write you off quickly if she feels like she is being mistreated because she knows her worth. Shaneal is loyal and will protect her family and friends at all cost. Shaneal also has a spiritual/philosophical side that is deeper than what she shares with most people unless you are close to her.
