The number by each equipment slot for a ship that can equip aircraft indicates the capacity of the planes it can hold. Different slots have different capacities and will affect the performance of the carrier in the opening aerial combat phase (See the [[Combat#Aerial Combat|Aerial Combat]] section for more information). Generally it is recommended to place blue planes (torpedo bombers) on the higher count slots, and yellow (recon) or red (dive bomber) planes on the lower count slots.

If the number shows 0, it can mean a few things:
+
*Either you did not resupply the ship to replenish the plane count, or you have ran out of {{Bauxite}} to replenish the planes; or
+
*That slot has a natural capacity of 0, which renders equipping planes on that slot useless for the most part.
