Deck Guns and Aircraft
Does anyone know if deck guns will engage aircraft, or is it only AA guns?

Well, since you can't order the crew at the flak guns to shoot at a ship, but can take control of them manually to do so, I would say the same might go for the deck gun... meaning, you couldn't get the crew to shoot at a plane with one, but you could man it yourself and aim at any target you chose.
Altho I'm betting your chances of actually hitting a plane with a deck gun are slim and none. They're hard enough to get a bead on with the flak guns. |

 :PAnd I thought they got rid of hydrogen after the hindenberg accident. I would hope even the densest designers would think that filling a very large bag with a very explosive gas would be bad in wartime. |
