The year is 1935. It was an era when numerous giant luxury liners fiercely competed across the Atlantic. Yet, even in East Asia, a region that should have been left behind in this dinosaur-like evolution, an ambitious passenger ship construction plan began, spurred by a whim of Puyi, the Emperor of Manchukuo! A plan that any sane person would have rejected immediately, it somehow managed to secure powerful support from various related parties in Japan and, before anyone knew it, had become an established fact.
The unprecedented large cargo-passenger ship Wenshu, designed to carry the super Asia Express departing from Xinjing and, one day, transport guests via Moji to Tokyo. She was meant to be the face of Manchukuo at the Tokyo Olympic Games, a vessel whose prestige would be demonstrated through grand-scale operation... though this rarely happened. Due to the worsening external situation, she was ultimately recommissioned as a warship of the Imperial Navy. An innovative new warship, combining aircraft operational capability with the functions of a landing ship. That is the converted aircraft carrier Ten'yō!
