Are they torpedo tudes? Maybe AA-Rocket Launchers? Cannon breeches. Those are cannon breeches. 15cm secondary cannon ones. Looks like it. Historically, Graf Zeppelin had her 15cm guns removed to serve as costal defense turrets in Norway, so it looks like we might be getting the incomplete Graf Zeppelin as base, with a BP (and most likely a catapult despite historically having one by default) remodel to a fully equipped Kai.

Also means we might be seeing some more German planes.

Guess I now know what I'm going after in this event.

 From Wikipedia, her air complement was to have 20 Fieseler Fi 167 biplanes, 10 BF109T-1 fighters and 13 Junkers Ju 87 dive bombers (later changed to 30 BF109T-1 and 12 Ju 87). Looks like we're getting more Ju87C from her, and probably some unique German fighters. The biplane is a bit meh for a carrier armament, though... The biplanes were selected for good handling and low landing speed, and had an external bomb/torpedo load of 1000kg.
