By Sander Kingsepp. Page 2. SHOKAKU CLASS The origin of the ships names. Sho-kaku translates as 'Flying Crane'. During the Pacific War, this powerful aircraft carrier and her name became famous throughout the conflict. However, SHOKAKU was actually the third ship given this name which literally means "the crane which floats in the sky" - an appropriate name for an aircraft perhaps, but hardly for the carrier herself! Zui-kaku. In Japan, the crane ('kaku') has been regarded as a lucky bird since ancient times. 'Zui' actually means 'very lucky' or 'auspicious'. ZUIKAKU participated in all major battles except for Midway, being the most active of all IJN carriers. Page 3. 23 August 1941. A near beam photo of SHOKAKU taken at Yokosuka, two weeks after her completion on 8 August. This is one of the few pictures showing her entire length from this side, which was almost 260m.

Our core values are inclusion, integrity, and innovation. Inclusion can only occur when everyone within our community and beyond has the opportunity to belong, to be heard, to be valued. To uphold integrity, it’s critically important that we are trustworthy stewards for the PI community, putting their livelihood first. We will embrace challenges head-on with new solutions and ways to strengthen the PI community through innovation. In addition, we commit to serving our constituents with transparency, trust, and compassion. The Immune Deficiency Foundation is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are rare and we are powerful. Like the stripes of a zebra, no two people are the same, and at IDF, we celebrate this uniqueness every day. An inclusive, diverse, and fair workplace makes our community more powerful. At IDF, we build communities and programs for people living with PI. It’s through these services, that they can connect with other individuals, families, and healthcare professionals who are living and working with PI. In 2019, we implemented initiatives to foster relationships within the community, and provide rich and accurate information and resources to thousands. We helped advance research and worked collaboratively with expert clinicians from across the country to better understand patient experiences and improve outcomes. All those living with PI continue to rely on IDF for information and support, which is why we’ve made the commitment to ensure a better future for generations to come.
