Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think any IJN ships were designated as CVLs. They didn't actually use that designation.

Jun'you and Hiyou were indeed quite heavy for CVLs, though a lot of that weight came from using civilian machinery that had half the power yet weighed four times as much as the military grade machinery in Hiryuu. As a result their plane capacity, etc. was a lot lower than a similar sized purpose-built CV.

All I'm saying is that it's not crazy to call them CVLs for this game. The line between CV and CVL is blurry anyway.
