(c) all Class A Ordinary Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Rights included in the Units.

2 Assumptions

The following opinions are given only as to, and based on, circumstances and matters of fact existing and known to us on the date of this opinion letter. These opinions only relate to the laws of the Cayman Islands which are in force on the date of this opinion letter. In giving the following opinions, we have relied (without further verification) upon the completeness and accuracy, as at the date of this opinion letter, of the Director's Certificate and the Certificate of Good Standing. We have also relied upon the following assumptions, which we have not independently verified:

2.1 The Documents have been or will be authorised and duly executed and unconditionally delivered by or on
behalf of all relevant parties in accordance with all relevant laws (other than, with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.2 The Documents are, or will be, legal, valid, binding and enforceable against all relevant parties in accordance
with their terms under the laws of the State of New York (the "**Relevant Law**") and all other relevant laws (other than,
with respect to the Company, the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.3 The choice of the Relevant Law as the governing law of the Documents has been made in good faith and would
be regarded as a valid and binding selection which will be upheld by the courts of the State of New York and any other relevant jurisdiction
(other than the Cayman Islands) as a matter of the Relevant Law and all other relevant laws (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands).

2.4 Copies of documents, conformed copies or drafts of documents provided to us are true and complete copies
of, or in the final forms of, the originals.

2.5 All signatures, initials and seals are genuine.

2.6 The capacity, power, authority and legal right of all parties under all relevant laws and regulations
(other than, with respect to the Company, the laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands) to enter into, execute, unconditionally deliver
and perform their respective obligations under the Documents.

2.7 No invitation has been or will be made by or on behalf of the Company to the public in the Cayman Islands
to subscribe for any of the Units, the Rights or the Class A Ordinary Shares.

2.8 There is no contractual or other prohibition or restriction (other than as arising under Cayman Islands
law) binding on the Company prohibiting or restricting it from entering into and performing its obligations under the Documents.

2.9 No monies paid to or for the account of any party under the Documents or any property received or disposed
of by any party to the Documents in each case in connection with the Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby
represent or will represent proceeds of criminal conduct or criminal property or terrorist property (as defined in the Proceeds of Crime
Act (As Revised) and the Terrorism Act (As Revised), respectively).

2.10 There is nothing contained in the minute book or corporate records of the Company (which we have not inspected)
which would or might affect the opinions set out below.

2.11 There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman Islands) which would or might affect
the opinions set out below. Specifically, we have made no independent investigation of the Relevant Law.

2.12 The Company will receive money or money's worth in consideration for the issue of the Class A Ordinary
Shares and none of the Class A Ordinary Shares were or will be issued for less than par value.

Save as aforesaid we have not been instructed to undertake and have not undertaken any further enquiry or due diligence in relation to the transaction the subject of this opinion letter.

|:---|:---|
| 3 | Opinions |

---

Based upon, and subject to, the foregoing assumptions and the qualifications set out below, and having regard to such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that:

3.1 The Company has been duly incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability and is validly existing
and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

3.2 The Class A Ordinary Shares to be offered and issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration
Statement (including the issuance Class A Ordinary Shares upon the conversion of the Rights in accordance with the Rights Documents) have
been duly authorised for issue, and when issued by the Company against payment in full of the consideration as set out in the Registration
Statement and in accordance with the terms set out in the Registration Statement (including the issuance of Class A Ordinary Shares upon
the conversion of the Rights in accordance with the Rights Documents), such Class A Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a share is only issued when it has been entered in the register of members (shareholders).

3.3 The execution, delivery and performance of the Unit Certificate and the Rights Documents have been authorised
by and on behalf of the Company and, once the Unit Certificate and the Rights Documents have been executed and delivered by any director
or officer of the Company, the Unit Certificate and the Rights Documents will be duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Company
and will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms.

4 Qualifications

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following qualifications:

4.1 The obligations assumed by the Company under the Documents will not necessarily be enforceable in all
circumstances in accordance with their terms. In particular:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganisation, readjustment of debts
or moratorium or other laws of general application relating to protecting or affecting the rights of creditors and/or contributories;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) enforcement may be limited by general principles of equity. For example, equitable remedies such as specific
performance may not be available, *inter alia*, where damages are considered to be an adequate remedy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) where obligations are to be performed in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands, they may not be enforceable
in the Cayman Islands to the extent that performance would be illegal under the laws of that jurisdiction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) some claims may become barred under relevant statutes of limitation or may be or become subject to defences
of set off, counterclaim, estoppel and similar defences.

4.2 To maintain the Company in good standing with the Registrar of Companies under the laws of the Cayman
Islands, annual filing fees must be paid and returns made to the Registrar of Companies within the time frame prescribed by law.

4.3 Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members (shareholders) is *prima facie* evidence of title
to shares and this register would not record a third party interest in such shares. However, there are certain limited circumstances where
an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal
position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified
where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. As far as we are aware, such applications
are rarely made in the Cayman Islands and for the purposes of the opinion given in paragraph 3.2, there are no circumstances or matters
of fact known to us on the date of this opinion letter which would properly form the basis for an application for an order for rectification
of the register of members of the Company, but if such an application were made in respect of the Class A Ordinary Shares, then the validity
of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

4.4 In this opinion letter the phrase "non-assessable" means, with respect to the issuance of
shares, that a shareholder shall not, in respect of the relevant shares and in the absence of a contractual arrangement, or an obligation
pursuant to the memorandum and articles of association, to the contrary, have any obligation to make further contributions to the Company's
assets (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper
purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion letter as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm under the headings "Legal Matters", "Risk Factors", "Shareholders' Suits" and "Enforcement of Civil Liabilities" in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement. In providing our consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under section 7 of the Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission thereunder.

We express no view as to the commercial terms of the Documents or whether such terms represent the intentions of the parties and make no comment with regard to warranties or representations that may be made by the Company.

The opinions in this opinion letter are strictly limited to the matters contained in the opinions section above and do not extend to any other matters. We have not been asked to review and we therefore have not reviewed any of the ancillary documents relating to the Documents and express no opinion or observation upon the terms of any such document.

This opinion letter is addressed to you and may be relied upon by you, your counsel and purchasers of Units pursuant to the Registration Statement. This opinion letter is limited to the matters detailed herein and is not to be read as an opinion with respect to any other matter.

Yours faithfully

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as United States counsel to Crane Harbor Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempt company (the "Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") of a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "462(b) Registration Statement") for the purpose of registering with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the sale by the Company of units of the Company, including the underwriters' over-allotment option (collectively the "Units"), with each Unit consisting of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, $0.0001 par value (the "Ordinary Shares"), and one right to receive one-fifteenth (1/15) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (the "Share Rights"). The 462(b) Registration Statement relates to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-291289) (the "Registration Statement"), initially filed by the Company on November 5, 2025 and declared effective by the Commission on December 15, 2025.

As the basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed, we have examined such statutes, regulations, corporate records and documents, certificates of corporate and public officials, agreements of the Company, forms of agreements and other instruments and documents including (a) the form of Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") proposed to be entered into by and among the Company and Cohen & Company Capital Markets, a division of Cohen & Company Securities, LLC, as representative of the several Underwriters named therein (the "Underwriters"), relating to the sale by the Company to the Underwriters of the Units, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Registration Statement; (b) the Registration Statement and the 462(b) Registration Statement; and (c) other instruments and documents, as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of this opinion. In making our examination, we have assumed and not verified (i) the genuineness of all signatures on documents examined by us, (ii) the legal capacity of all natural persons, (iii) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and (iv) the conformity with the original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies. We have also assumed that all Units will be issued and sold in the manner described in the Underwriting Agreement. As to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have, to the extent deemed appropriate, relied upon certain representations of certain officers and employees of the Company.

December 15, 2025

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. When the offering is completed as contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Units will be legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (a) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (b) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws; (c) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; and (d) we express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the share rights agreement to be entered into by and between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("Continental"), as share rights agent, and the Company (the "Share Rights Agreement").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. When the Share Rights underlying the Units are issued and delivered and paid for as part of the Units, as contemplated by the Registration Statement, such Share Rights will be legally binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms except: (a) as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); (b) as enforceability of any indemnification or contribution provision may be limited under the federal and state securities laws; (c) that the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to the equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; and (d) we express no opinion as to whether a state court outside of the State of New York or a federal court of the United States would give effect to the choice of New York law provided for in the Share Rights Agreement.

The opinions expressed above are limited to the federal laws of the United States of America as in effect and existing on the date hereof and, as to the Units and the Share Rights constituting legally binding obligations of the Company, solely with respect to the laws of the State of New York. Our opinion is based on these laws as in effect on the date hereof and as of the effective date of the Registration Statement, and we assume no obligation to revise or supplement this opinion after the effective date of the Registration Statement should the law be changed by legislative action, judicial decision, or otherwise. No opinion is expressed with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or to the application of any such laws.

We consent to the reference to this opinion and to Stevens & Lee in the prospectus included as part of the Registration Statement (the "Prospectus"), and to the inclusion of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. We further consent to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the Prospectus. In giving these consents, we do not thereby admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
