The Zuikaku had a total displacement of around 26,000 metric tons and a total eight boilers powering at speeds of up to 63 km/h. Its total length was around 260 metres, its beam was 26 metres, and its draught was 8.8 metres. For armament, the Zuikaku had sixteen 127 mm anti-air guns and thirty-six 25 mm anti-air guns. Furthermore, it could carry up to a maximum of 72 to 84 aircraft on board, namely the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen, the Aichi D3A, and the Nakajima B5N. To man the vessel, the Zuikaku had a crew of 1,600 men on board and had a total sea range of 18,000 km. The Zuikaku was particularly heavy due to the inclusion of armoured decks and hull, though it was designed so that heavy aircraft could still be launched.
