I would personally suggest this:

Unryū-class aircraft carriers
Part of the mass production of carriers Japan started in 1941. 15 ships were ordered, of which most were completed by 1950, after which the rest were cancelled due to advances in aircraft and missile technology requiring a new approach to carrier design. Through the years most ships in the class were either scrapped or handed over to Japan’s allies. By 1981, the remaining three ships are all slated to be scrapped.
Amagi
Katsuragi
Ikoma
Shōkaku-class aircraft carriers
