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 was crippled the 4 bombs dropped by US carrier aircraft and was ultimately finished off by surface gunfire from a surface task force consisting of 4 cruisers and 9 destroyers. Chiyoda sank with her entire crew of 1,470 officers and men, there were no survivors.
Trivia
- Both Chitose 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 Chitose.
