  Seaplanes are the main aircraft type used by non-carrier ships (mainly battleships, cruisers, and auxiliaries).

 Bomber Seaplane Bombers additionally act like Dive Bombers, taking part in the same air phases and sharing the same damage formulas. Additionally, they:

  Zuiuns are additionaly required for the Ise-class Kai Ni

Trivia

The 634th Air Group was a sort of carrier aircraft division, which belonged to aircraft-carrying battleships Ise and Hyuga (they were to carry 14 and 8 Zuiun's respectively) in the latter half of the war in the Pacific. The air group was initially trained to be catapulted off battleships, but later transferred to ground bases in the Philippines, and Taiwan as well as Japan mainland after October 1944, thus never seeing an action they initially intended. 634th Air Group's mission was dive-bombing and strafing toward American vessels during nighttime, and they kept themselves clear of so-called Kamikaze suicidal attack until the very end of the war (hence the higher stats, reflecting the Air Group's high skill level).
