P.S. CT Supp 9 also contains an entry detailing a 50t heavy fighter.

CT
Supplement 9 Fighting Ships as you point out has several
designs that carry fighters per the write-ups that include a
code for fighter squadrons. I have looked through CT
Supplement without finding any information on how the
Fighter Squadron code is determined. Comparing the number of
fighters to the squadron code a squadron appears to consist
of 10 fighters. Unfortunately, the Fighter Squadron codes do
not conform to the hexadecimal notation described on CT
Supplement 7 p. 47 or CT LBB 5 HGv1 p. 25, or CT LBB
3.
I
have gone through CT LBB 5 HGv2, probably missing the
reference, and have not found anything about fighters or
fighter squadrons. Additionally the hulls carrying fighter
squadrons >= 10 do not conform to the letter codes beyond
9 on CT LBB 5 HGv2 p. 52.
JTAS
14 High Guard Optional Rules Fighters has a squadron being
either 8 or 10 fighters. According to the article each
squadron of 10 fighters is represented from 1 to 9 with 10
or more squadrons represented by letterers starting with A.
Of course if a squadron is composed of 8 fighters I think
that the coding would be the same.
Thank
you again for you help,
Tom
