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
