anyone seem to know what kind of aircraft those are on the deck? they look like two engined aircraft.

They are Nakajima B5Ns. The American code name for them was Kate. That would be the largest aircraft she could cary. She carried 21 A6M Zeros and 9 B5Ns.

I respectfully submit that these are NOT Nakajima B5N2 Kate torpedo planes. These are twin engine aircraft and the Kate is a single engine ship. It is possible that Chuyo is ferrying aircraft to or from the base.

To #4 Anonymous:
I respectfully concur that these are not B5Ns. The twin engines, the round bulbous nose, and the angle they sit on the deck leaves little doubt that these are Mitsubishi G3M “Nell” bombers. Since these were not carrier aircraft, I also agree that they were most likely being ferried aboard the carrier.

Aircraft parked on the deck are believed to the Navy twin engine night fighter "Gekko" (Allied codename "Irving").
