[[Aircraft carrier]] of the [[Imperial Japanese Navy]] (IJN) converted from an unfinished Amagi-class battlecruiser of same name, saw service in [[World War II]] and 2nd Sino-Japanese War. 

Served as the flagship of the First Air Fleet and led the attack on [[Pearl Harbor]] on 7 December 1941. Was sunk during the [[Battle of Midway]] with the loss of 267 men months later. 

Akagi's noticeable features were her triple flight deck set-up (feature she shared with converted Tosa-class battleship [[kaga_(aircraft_carrier)|Kaga]]) during late 20s and early 30s, and her port side island (shared with purpose built aircraft carrier Hiryu) after her modernization during mid-30s.
