The Shokaku-class helicopter carrier (known as the Teufelberg-class helicopter carrier in the Englean Kaiserreich) is a class of helicopter carrier built for the United States of the Tao Navy (USTN) and the Kaiserliche-Marine (KM). Two of the ships - Shokaku and Katsuragi - have been built. One is currently under construction for the Englean Kaiserreich, Teufelberg.
The Shokaku class was followed by the larger Hinoryu (Graf von Kluge) class, the first being commissioned in November 2012.
The specifications of the Shokaku class are comparable to light aircraft carriers.
During development, Shokaku and Katsuragi were provisionally named "HCV101" and "HCV102" respectively. Being the first and second helicopter carriers in the USTN.
