Raised extended hangar and raised height and added more details:

Is that a realistic airwing? Wiki says the Kate could be used as a dive bomber, so currently I am using that as a placeholder.

Is Oscar capable of taking off from a carrier? I think Claude or Zeek is more suitable. Regarding the Dive Bomber, choose Val if you're going for a Japanese airwing. You also have no need for operating Glen, Japanese use Kate and Jake from Cruisers to do the scoutings.

Zero would be a more appropriate replacement for the OScar in my opinion and I wouldn't be surprised if the Oscar can take off from a carrier its the landing that I would think would cause the trouble except for that I agree with you Clonecommander
looking good so far

Yeah, Val is definately an option, But I am also going to opt for a home built design. Kate is currently a placeholder. Okay, will do. Yes, but having 2 Glens (modified without floats) onboard is still a nessecity as Cenetian cruisers are more typically used as the main task force.

More details.
In terms of airwing, is that a realistic number? Again B5N is a placeholder for divebomber.
What I really need help on now is details, I'm mainly using the Japanese carriers in the archives as a reffernce, but most of them are kinda old and underdetailed.

Looks fairly decent to me. Also find it interesting that if Cenet and Sierans were to be involved,they'd be on opposing sides (Japan being Sierans main rival and threat).

As for your airwing, I would possibly reduce your fighter wing in favor for more bombers (depending on the carrier doctrine of course). The SRN Lazarev has three squadrons on board during peace time training (12x SAF-34 fighters, 12x TB-31 dive bombers and 12x TB-31 torpedo bombers. In this case either bomber can be used for either role but are better suited to the task they are a variant for.
In a wartime situation, the small Lazarev would likely only have room for two squadrons aboard due to the small hangar and no deck park (the North Pacific is not a good place for storing aircraft in exposed locations).

Remember also to have increased bracing for your flight deck where it overhangs bow and stern. Currently it wouldn't be able to properly support itself and might buckle under stress.

Thank you Denodon, I've already posted this in my AU thread (see page 11), but I will update.

just one little nitpick
if possible I think you should try to fit more than just light AAA to it.

Your carrier is about the size of a US CVL, so the size of your airwing is about right. The Independence-class CVLs carried 24 fighters and 9 torpedo-bombers late in the war, but as Denodon said, the make-up of your airwing should reflect your carrier doctrine and your mission.

As for AAA weaponry, as Trojan said, something a little heavier would be nice, but the Independence-class also only had 40mm and 20mm guns, so your armament is probably okay. Still, I'd try to fit some 3" or 5" guns on there if possible.

I think the 20mm (?) Quad would potentially obstruct deck operation.
