Sounds like you got it right: The Allies only have seaplane tenders that must be anchored to service seaplanes. While the Japanese AVs also must be anchored, the CSs are like small CVs and can launch seaplanes while underway and can even conduct air attack operations.

After looking throught some of the Ship photos in the above link for Japanese AV's, and consultiing my Conway's it seams as though some of them were in fact equiped for underway air operation's, Having Catapult's and a stern recovery drag ( for lake of a better word to describe it)

Also some of these Japanese Seaplane Tender's had from the get go a midget submarine capacity and in some cases a large mine storage capacity.

Theoretically we should be able to resupply sub minelaying TFs from AVs but you won't see that in UV.
