Except that Shinano is most likely isn't one of them. Either that, or she'll have only have a single remodel at Zuikaku's K2A level. 167? That's pretty much twice the most optimistic approximation. (72+13 parked on flight deck, including reserves)

I would only guess a number around 80~90 given that she got the ideal remodeling.

For armored carriers, how about the Implacable-class? They can carry around 70~80 aircraft, have armored deck and catapults.

What's more, the armored carrier icon on fleet memory page looks a bit like Illustrious- or Implacable-class.
