Depending on what CVs are present, their fighter groups are 21, 24, or 27 planes. As a general rule of thumb, I use 25 per CV as estimate. CVL/CVEs are 18 or 21. So, KB could have 8 CVs as Junyo and Hiyo should be completed.
I forget what the game date is. Isn't it July? That's a bit of a squeeze for the second of Junyo/Hiyo, unless they were accelerated, as it doesn't arrive until late May on normal schedule.
I thought the original six KB CVs all resized to 27? I know Akagi, Kaga, Shokaku, and Zuikaku all should...
Still, what stands out to me is the 65 auxiliary. Some of those have got to actually be fighters.
What if he hasnīt converted the CSs? Wasnīt too long ago (a month or so) when a sub encountered one of them.
PS. Iīll be the first to admit Iīm wrong from time to time . Just got this in the same turn!

I hate being wrong! [:D]
The CS ships can't convert until 11/1/1942, so no chance there yet. Here's a nugget for you also: if he does decide to convert them, you can sometimes tell with coastwatchers. If converted (or in the process) the coastwatchers might report "CVL Chitose in port", while if not converted it will still say "CS Chitose in port"... I think [;)]. I think you can also use this to tell you which ships have been built. I don't think I started getting reports on ships like CL Oyodo, etc., until they'd arrived from the queue. When I noticed the CVL vs. CS thing on the coastwatcher reports, I formed the assumption that the coastwatchers pull an actual ship name out of the active ships list at random (or perhaps weighted random). I could be totally wrong as this is entirely circumstantial, so take it with a shaker of salt.
Even if he hasn't converted the CS ships, there would need to be 3 of them there to give you that kind of auxiliary number. Chitose and Chiyoda are capacity 24, and Mizuho/Nisshin are capacity 20. Cruisers/BBs carry 3-4 each... so unless he has ~8 CAs/BBs in that TF plus 2 CS's, then it's greatly overreporting the number of auxiliary planes there.
I suppose it's possible that he has more than 3 CS in that TF, but why would you ever do that? Including just 1 of them is plenty, and 2 is borderline overkill.
