This design is a refinement of the previous one.
By removing the bridge and angling the deck to fully overlap the funnel casing allowed a much larger deck space, on the other hand this seems to be the first design incorporating the idea of a multi deck carrier for the IJN.
This is twin deck carrier design as the the gun deck where the forward twin 20cm turrets are located are not high enough to efficiently operate aircraft (A fighter barely fits between the flight deck and the gun deck space)but this allowed a spacious space allocated for the command bridge.
The main or top flight deck might had been used for the launch of the first strike wave of aircraft, though primary mission was to recover the aircraft for which the almost ski-jump like angle could help slow and stop them, also the single elevator would suggest this mission as well.
The primary take off deck was on the lowest level just above the nose, though due to the AA gun placement there the take-off would be a bit more complicated in strong winds, as there are less space there.
While the original drawing does not show (but the one after this design does) it is logical to assume that the space for the bridge would also house the directors and rangefinder(s) of the main 20cm Guns which would also describe the funnels reduced height to be just barely above the flight deck and thus would not hamper the sight of the directors and rangefinder(s).
