QUOTE: "Hiryū (Japanese: 飛龍, meaning "Dragon Flying in Heaven [1]")" Well actually, "飛龍" simply translates to "flying dragon". No heaven. --  李博杰   | —Talk contribs email 10:02, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Folding wings in the lower hanger?
In section Flight deck and hangars is written: This caused problems in handling aircraft because the wings of a Nakajima B5N "Kate" torpedo bomber could neither be spread nor folded in the upper hangar. This sounds strange to me. It implies, that folding in the lower hanger is possible although it has smaller dimensions. Any opinions about that?

 * Ceiling height in the upper hangar was lower as it was intended to house fighters. Unlike the lower hangar which was intended for larger aircraft like the Kates.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:23, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation.

Okay, but it still sounds confusing as shortly before it was mentioned that the upper hangar had a higher ceiling. Maybe a phrasing like "the wings could neither be spread nor folded in either hangar" may help to make for an easier reading? Koo Kee (talk) 13:17, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

I think I already know what kind of response I'm going to get from this, BUT...

There is a Japanese online game-turned-cartoon series called Kantai Collection that reimagines the IJN as a collection of cute girls. It's currently one of the more popular nerd cults in Japan and has done a lot to revive interest in the IJN and its ships. Would it be horrible to mention this in these sorts of articles?
