In terms of float planes; "Jake" is the best overall FP... any reason why they kept using "Petes" ?
I am guessing that maybe it was smaller and therefore able to fit easier

EDIT: I found the aswer; "Because of its outstanding maneuverability, it was occasionally operated as a fighter and dive-bomber in support of amphibious operations, when no enemy fighter opposition was anticipated"

I know that the Mogami used gunpowder-propelled catapults before conversion, but after it's conversion I wasn't sure. I looked all around and could not find any info on this. So I asked the question over at j-aircraft, this is the answer I received.

According to Lacroix and Wells, the MOGAMI class were equipped with Kure Type No.2 catapult Model 5 developed in 1937. These were gunpowder-propelled catapults. There is no record of upgrade according to L&W, and compress air-driven catapults were only use on submarines and OYODO. - Ed Low

Not off topic at all. Glad you found an answer.
