St. Lo. Fencer. Ryujo. Shoho. Along with the rest of the light carriers, these guys sacrifice in every aspect in order to still be aircraft carriers. You still get aircraft capacity, and some special abilities. This means there are tradeoffs: none of them have as high of a score in armor, vital armor, hull points, or Antiair values. This means that you give up a lot to shave only a few points off the fleet carriers. For example, Fencer (no doubt overcosted) is just a point less than the far more robust Glorious and 4 under the top-shelf Victorious. Bargain St. Lo at 10 is just 6 points below Ranger or Princeton with much better stats. Guadalcanal at 13 is 9 less than the full fleet carrier Hornet. Ryujo at 13 is 2 points less than Hiyo/Junyo/Unryu, each with 4 hull, and 7 less than Soryu/Shokaku. In all cases, you sacrifice a lot to save 1-9 points.
All of that said, obviously in scenarios these are valid buys for your fleet. How do you work them into your builds, and what do you do with them when you bring them out of the tackle box?
