Taiho surviving its historical explosion

If Taiho had not exploded, would it have served until the end of the war?

Japan would keep using it, but a later suicide mission or another loss could still end its service before the war ended.

If Taiho avoids its explosion, Japan is expected to retain a carrier already afloat. That does not guarantee survival to the surrender: a later suicide mission is suggested. Other possible endings include survival into postwar disposal or transfer. The participants offer alternatives without settling on one outcome.
