The Katar when finally completed entered the fleet as an experimental carrier; the expected complement of aircrafts
instead being replaced by Japanese designed autogyros and German designed helicopters. The plan was utilize this ship
as a test bench for future ASW operations but in case of need the ship could be utilized as an emergency carrier.

Background informations:
The ship's flight deck was 72 feet (21,9m) wide and Aruval has a single hangar, served by two aircraft elevators, mounted on the centerline.
She was not built with an island and could operate 32 aircrafts. The ship's primary armament consisted of eight 12,5cm anti-aircraft (AA) guns
in single mounts on sponsons along the sides of the hull. Early warnings was provided by a Type 2, Mark 2, Model 1 air search radar.
