Okay, a 25,000 ton carrier with an air wing of 29 aircraft? Tha's what you get for a miscellaneous weight of 875 tons. For a carrier of this size, you should try for a misc weight of 6400 tons or more, for an air wing of 80+ aircraft.

This carrier has a standard displacement wich is more than three times that of my Hosho, yet carries less planes than the Hosho.

Regarding the springstyle rule of planes aboard a carrier, etc., I look at it differently than others may. While (according to the rules) 6400 tons is needed for 80 aircraft, I believe that 2000 tons (80 x 25 tons) can also be used (depending on the weight of the plane), however (!) this would have a serious impact on the aircraft operation abilities of the carrier. It would limit the range (i.e. number of missions) and the ammuntion of the aircraft and other stuff like maintenance crew and spare parts, space to work in, etc.
Remember that 6400 / 80 = 80 tons assigned to one plane. That is probably the same as one fully laden Tomcat (33 ton), with fuel and ammo for 2 more missions to waste (31 tons), crew, maintenance crew with their equipment, electronics, and spare parts (misc 16 tons; that is a rough guess though).
This is all based without applying the jet rule of 2/3. In that case, 120 tons would be assigned to one jet... in that case you have fuel and ammo for 2.5 more missions.
However we want to operate our carrier wing at full potential (at least I want to operate my planes at full potential) and in that case you'll use 6400 tons rather than 2000 tons. Truly, someone who would decide to assign 2000 tons to 80 aircraft would be pretty stupid. That is sacrificing airwing performance in favor of something else. An 80 plane airwing with 2000 tons assigned on the carrier will have a performance rating which is less than one third of an 80 plane airwing with 6400 tons assigned on the carrier.

Just my thoughts...

True... only conversions.
How about that limit ? I thought it was 27,000 tons. I believe an error was made in the one currently posted and the maximum was listed as 33,000 tons, right ?

Convertions are allowed up to 27kts, only Atlantis is allowed to get two 30kts CV-convertions but should give away other stuff in return.

Reply carrier tonnage limit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose built carriers cannot exceed 22,000, while conversions cannot exceed 27,000 tons. Atlantis gives up a 14" BB and two 12" BCs in order to retain these two large carriers.

... and of course, only two such conversions may be made.

About conversions:
Am I right when I think that combined freeboard + depth as a battleship is equal to combined freeboard + depth as a carrier ? Or was it usual to make adjustments in that area ?

If you look at ark royal a significant portion of combined freeboard is above water. If you were to convert a BC to a carrier the hull may sit slightly lower in the water but because of the added hangar structure the freeboard increases, sort of. The main deck would still be important, as even as a carier if the main deck is below water you are on your way to davey jones locker.
The glorious had a draft of 23 feet 4" as a BC and 24 feet as a carrier, her armor was unaltered.

I thought that the added hangar structure would be part of the ship's superstructure and that freeboard would still be the distance between the waterline and the main deck.

Reply That´s up to you...

You can build your CVs like the IJN or the USN did. Then your hangar(s) and flightdeck is part of the superstructure. Or you can do it like the British or Germans and build the hangar(s) as an integral part of your hull.
