Also, in    鎮守府生活のすゝめ Vol.6, there was a hint: "特殊な 航…の給…”, I would fill in the blanks as: " 特殊な 航空....の給油艦"  (A special Fleet Oiler ... aviation), which hints a fleet oiler with some sort of aviation capability, which means Hayasui.

I checked all the IJN supply ships, ship category that starts with the kanji "給" includes "給油艦" (Fleet Oiler) and "給糧艦"(food supply ship), but none of the except Hayasui has anything near aviation capabilities. I'm calling it right now. It's going to be an optional upgrade from Chitose-class A so you can make her a CVL or an oiler. It'll be the first time you can choose what your kanmusu can upgrade to and will of course require a blueprint.
