I'd like to get Rocky's input before commenting. Esp in rule discussions I want to give others plenty of time to discuss.
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

I...generally concur with the notion that deck parking basically means more surface area for planes; one still has to pay for the tonnage costs associated with the airgroup.

I think Tac's numbers are probably reasonable and don't have a specific alternative to put forward.  Enterprise and the Brit carriers are good examples; I don't recall reading anything to suggest Japan used a deck park at any point (not that they'd have had the aircraft for it in the later stages of the war).
