Carrier Aircraft display problem

I have added a new type of Japanese CVL (Junho, slot 028) and several ships of this class (slots 017-020 and 022, replacing the ships here originally). However in some cases, when the ships are in task forces, the number of "Carrier Aircraft" is shown as 0 on the TF display.
The airgroups in question use slots 507-508, 519-520, and 523-532. I believe that the problem is somewhere in the last group - I guess the question I am asking is, what are the carrier airgroup slots? Are there any extra?
P.S. I am using CHS.
Help much appreciated [:)]

As far as I know carrier-capable is not determined by the airgroup slot but by the type of aircraft. Send it to me if you would like and I'll look at it.

Okay, it's being emailed now. [:)]
Here is a quick screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Took a while to find, as the item that is in error is displayed correctly on the ship data display.
The hint to what was wrong is underlined in the attached. Anyone want to guess??

Well the MS:560(100) means "Max Sorties 560 and we have 100% of them on board" ... but since these are fictitous carriers I have no idea how many"sorties" were defined for each ... but perhaps one of them had 0 sorties defined. Though this would mean the other had 560 ... and if they are both the same class - this would not be viable. So I guess I give up !

Don isn't around so I'll tell [;)]
To quote him:
"The class has a proper Aircraft Ordnance (device 195) defined in weapons
slot 20 but the ships do not.
All you have to do is refresh the ships from the class."
Originally they had nothing as you can see in the first screenshot. The problem is now fixed, thanks again Don. [&o]

Weapon slot 20 on the CV class/ship records weren't defined for "Air Ordinance"/sorties?
"Carriers aint carriers unless they have ordinance for their planes."
[edit]
Blast! I didn't read far enough down thread to see it was already answered.[:D]

This one was a little confusing because the Max Sorties display on the ship display screen was correct. I guess the executable must take it from the class data and not from the ship actually being displayed. Anyway, based on the display I thought it was correct and did not actually check the ship in the editor for some time. D'oh!

In the editor, just change the class of the ship. Actually change it twice - first to something (anything) else and then back to the correct class. The editor will "refresh" the display each time the class is changed - ending up with the correct values.
