The opening air strike is only affected by the stat of the planes and the number of them you have. Your carrier's stats on't affect the opening strike. This explains why ships with really high firepower and torpedo stats (ie: BBVs and CAVs) have weak opening air strikes.

During the shelling phase the Carriers stats (FP+Torpedo stats of your ship) are included in the damage caclulation. Also, Torpedo bombers increase your carrier's torpedo stats btw. Dive bombers don't increase your carrier's FP stat but the FP of the dive bomber will be added directly to the damage calculation.
