the ingame classification is IJN and USN mixed. The closest info I can find is this which is in USN classification.

english wiki

japanese wiki

Ctrl+F to find [Japanese naval ship classes of World War II or 関連項目] and click "Show" expand the table. Hiyo class are groupped as 特設空母 while ships such as ryuujou and houshou are groupped as  正規空母 in japanese wiki, which I believe they both just means carrier, not standard carrier/light carrier, any carrier can be groupped as that. If u notice, they dont group carrier as light carrier or standard carrier in their ship class table. Taihou is a CV according to USN classification and shown as CV in both wikis. The japanese wiki described her as "飛行甲板に装甲を施した空母" which probably the dev just shortened it into 装甲空母
