It appears that we don't break the system if

we make hanger deck armor 1/3 less than actual
and we add 1 point to durability for every 2 mm we reduced the hanger deck armor

It appears that RHS has the wrong deck armor for Tahio. While it indeed had 76 mm of flight deck armor - it had hanger deck armor as well - 4.9 inches or 100 mm of it. Thus in the current scheme it should be rated at 176 instead of 76mm.

It appears that RHS has the wrong armor for the Shinano. She had 180 mm of hanger deck armor and 80 mm of flight deck armor. It should be in the current scheme 260 mm.
