It wouldn't be hard to put together some 13+ flight decks by mid-summer 1942, but before the Unryus roll out in late 1943. Do tell. Are you refering to CV's only or all flight decks? We did sink a CVL and CVE as well. Assuming they had pressed hard for CV's, where would the air complements come from? Are there enough Vals, Kates and Zeroes or do they take surviving Daitai from lost carriers? I'm referring to all flight decks-CV, CVL, CVE. Not counting CS use of float fighters. I'll have to do a 'headcount' at home tonight. Offhand, the count includes KB (obviously), a couple of other CVs, 3 CVLs and 3-4 CVEs. The CVs and CVLs have their own organic air wings on board. Airframes are not typically a problem at this stage of the war (pre-1946 ) for the IJNAF. I believe that all the CVEs need air complements added from the home islands. This is no biggy, as there are some unrestricted air units in the home islands that can be 'parted out' and loaded onto the CVEs. From there, they can 'expand' appropriately to fit the CVE accordingly. ETA: Paying PP for 'lost' air units takes ~180 days to reenter the fracas, IIRC. These will be useful for subsequent naval operations, but probably not for a while yet at the pace of your game.
