h4. History
Shin'you and Kasuga Maru sharing the same artist and starting uniform stems from the common initial histories of their historical counterparts. In Shin'you's case, she was originally the SS [i]"Scharnhorst":[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Scharnhorst_(1934)][/i], the first big passenger liner built in the German Third Reich. Scharnhorst was stuck in Japan when World War II broke out in Europe. She was later purchased by the Imperial Japanese Navy and converted into an escort carrier. Conversion followed the same plans as the Taiyou-class carriers due to the similarity in design between Scharnhorst and the Nitta Maru-class passenger liners which included Kasuga Maru.

The historical Shin'you was sunk on November 17, 1944 at the East China Sea after being hit by four torpedo attacks from the submarine [i]USS Spadefish[/i].
