    Could Japan have had its carrier decks and carrier wings up to their Nov 1941 levels by Nov '40 or Nov '39 w/ earlier plausible investments?

    I've cast my vote - XI.39 is possible, but only if two "repeat Hiryu's" laid down in early 1937 and Yamato&Musashi pushed back to '38 or '39. Or two Soryu/Hiryu built instead of Tone class.

    I vaguely remember- hence I may be wrong - from various "build better IJN for WWII" threads, that slips (no, not THAT kind, you perverts, no panchira for you!) were a bottleneck. To have decks nos.5 and 6 ready for '39 or '40 you axe either the Tone cruisers or Yamato battleships.
