Japanese did convert several merchants into CVLs wonder if such conversion is implemented in the WitP?

Don't think so. You can convert the Chitose and Chiyoda (CS) to a CVL class if you want.
Large merchants (>5000 load) can be converted to all kind of different support classes (AE,AD, AGP, AR and so on)

Actually they converted merchants not into CVLs but rather into nearly useless auxiliary CVE intended for use by the army to transport aircraft to bases. These ACVEs had no hangars and no arrestor gear, and were not capable of either recovering or servicing A/C on board. They were merely A/C transports. There were also a few actual CVEs (Chuyo, Taiyo, Unyo, Kaiyo, and Shinyo), all of which were converted from liners. The CVL conversions were all based on high-speed auxiliaries (oilers, seaplane carriers, and a submarine support ship)

Except that the Japanese player can't turn his AK into AD, which is surprising since torpedoes feature so prominantly in the Japanese battleplan. Surely this is an oversite which will be corrected in the next patch.
