Zayasu Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
Daitō:
Zayasu Shipbuilding (座安造船株式会社, Zayasu Zōsen Kabushikigaisha), often referred to as just Zayasu in the media, is the largest shipbuilding company in the Empire of Daitō, both in terms of tonnage and sales revenue. The company, which is a subsidiary of Zayasu Heavy Industries (座安重工-業株式会社, Zayasu Jūkōgyō Kabushikigaisha), has been the primary supplier of naval vessels for the Imperial Daitōjin Navy and Coast Guard for decades, with a long, storied history going back to before the Great War. It was Zayasu which built the mighty IDN Fusō, at the time the largest naval vessel ever put to sea, and it was Zayasu which likewise put Daitō's first nuclear-powered vessels to sea. However, until 2019, the company was but one of two (previously three) companies which provided vessels to the navy, when it merged with Higaki Engineering & Shipbuilding following regulatory approval. Since then, the company has held a de-facto monopoly on the naval defense sector in the country, one which is unlikely to change anytime soon.

NOT FOR SALEBackgroundThe Taihō-class is designed primarily to replace the Mitake- and Tairyū-class carriers, which are set to leave service in the mid-20s and late-40s, respectively.
Named for the IDN Taihō, a highly-decorated Great War-era aircraft carrier which played a key role in the Second Battle of Yakushima, the class is equipped
with a number of technologies from the KBG(X) program, such as EMALS, and a number of other design features intended to improve efficiency and reduce
operating costs. It is currently intended for the class to see five ships enter service, starting with Taihō in 2023.

NOT FOR SALEBackgroundThe Tairyū-class is a class of three nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the Imperial Daitōjin Navy. The lead ship of the class is named for the battleship Tairyū,
which saw service throughout the Great War. Until recently, the Tairyū class was the largest warship put into service with the Imperial Daitōjin Navy. The vessels were built
in the Kyūre Naval District, much as the IDN Fusō had before.

remains in service out of a class of five. The vessels were intended to be pulled from service by the early 2000s, however, following the recession and the ensuing lost decade,
Daitō found itself unable to fully replace the class, with it now being expected that the Taihō-class will partially replace it alongside the Tairyū-class.

the class is designed to put ashore a "Landing Expeditionary Unit" (LEU) using helicopters and L-18 Ikuchi V/STOL Transport Aircraft, supported by G-9I Hikari or
J-21I Umikotsu V/STOL aircraft and various attack helicopters. Although it is only designed to carry helicopters and V/STOL aircraft, the Zuikaku-class, with a
displacement of about 46,000 t, is similar in size to the Achkaerinese Discovery-class fixed-wing aircraft carrier.
