Checking some of the other ships speeds to see if there is a real-world cutoff point between fast and slow ships leads me to believe that the cutoff is around 27-28 knots. This is because Yamato and Nagato look to be the fastest slow ships at 27 knots, while Zuihou, Shouhou and Kaga look to be the slowest fast ships at 28 knots, although pre-remodel Kongou-class ships originally had a 27.5 knots rated speed that was later upgraded to 30. This means the Deutschland class are straddling the line here, although they are leaning more towards the fast side of things. Looks like it would be up to the devs whether they want to add variety to the cruiser speeds or just keep things uniform.

That also means that the Shinano, assuming the add her into the game eventually, would likely be the first slow fully-fledged CV in the game due to her relatively slow 27 knots speed.
