You appear still to have the option of 'Request Veteran', which might get you an additional pilot, if that's what's preventing the transfer of the unit. Not sure what's going on here: are you saying that the only listed pilot is the unit commander Lt Yamagami, but that he's not present on ship, being still in Group Reserve status? If you can't get the group off the ship by drawing a pilot, you may need to get the ship to a base at which you can draw an additional aircraft - off-ship transfer ought to be possible then. I'm puzzled by the unit's identity. The code is for the 3rd unit of the DI hikokitai, which would be correct for Hiyo post-Midway, although by then I would expect it to be equipped with B5N2's rather than B5N1's. Before this the DI code was applied to Ryujo's airgroup, but she only embarked 2 squadrons rather than 3, suggesting that this unit did not originate from Ryujo. This suggests that the unit has been transferred into Zuikaku from another ship. I can't see any particular reason for this being relevant to your problem, but I wonder whether it might have something to do with it.
