[gurps] Planes for a TL6 sub carrier

the i-400 seemed to "cheat," and not have a real top-deck, only a catapult, 
and it launched seaplanes with pontoons. It then used a crane to retrieve 
the returned planes from the water.

the pontoons detacked for storage of the planes, and the wings folded.

possibly a design problem of the i-400 -- the planes were all stowed in a 
row.
