History
Chitose originally built as the first vessel of the Chitose Class seaplane tenders launched on the 29th November 1936. She along with her sister were both converted and reclassified as Light Aircraft Carriers. As a carrier she participated in the Battle of the Philippine Sea and the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
She would finally meet her end during the battle of Cape Engano on the 25th October 1944 where she along with Zuikaku, Zuihou and Chiyoda were used as a sacrificial decoy force to lure the American fleet away from the landing beaches in the Philippines. She took three torpedo hits from US carrier aircraft and ultimately sank due to flooding with the loss of 903 men. The cruiser Isuzu rescued 480 men, and destroyer Shimotsuki a further 121.
Trivia
- Both Chiyoda and herself (plus Ryuuhou) are classified as Zuihou-class CVLs in-game (technically Shouhou-class) despite Zuihou and the Chitose-class CVLs not having anything in common apart from being conversions of seaplane tenders.
- She is voiced by Hitomi Sekine who also provided the voice for Chiyoda.
