This material is on an MS Excel Spreadsheet and it will post to the RHS site in due course. It is easier to read in spreadsheet form.
It lists each ship in each possible variation and the date it appears in each scenario - including stock and CHS 155 (which was source for
RHS). It also totals aircraft capacity by type. Note that some carriers do not have air groups. This - and other interesting facts - are specified for each ship.

Note 1: These ships are designed to carry regular carrier aircraft and actually carried both regular carrier aircraft and seaplane bombers. In WITP they only carry seaplanes for technical reasons.
Only seaplanes could be recovered and there is no way to require land planes to use a different landing field. RHSBBO players should NOT exercise this option.
Note 2: All IJN ships which do not start the game may have construction suspended or cancelled.
Note 3: Air groups form for all historically comissioned CVEs, but not for CVEs which did not commission.

Note 3: Essex carrier design allowed for "an enlarged fighter squadron of 27 planes." The Essex Aircraft Carriers, p. 23.
Note 4: Hanger capacity probably about 122 aircraft. Aircraft Carriers of the World indicates typically 137 were embarked in 1945, p. 255.
Note 5: Anteitam and Boxer ordered to Western Pacific late 1945 after the historical war ended. Aircraft Carriers of the World, Pp. 229 & 230.

RE: RHS Carrier Utility Update Uploaded
I just noticed an error: it was long believed that the Semi carriers could not carry both regular and seaplanes - but in RHS they now do that - as IRL. The code will let them fly just fine. The problem is that the regular planes could not be recovered by these ships (which is why they carried seaplane bombers - of considerable performance).
