A6M3 Model 32 in carrier operations

The A6M3 Model 32 was produced from Jun 16, 1942 by Mitsubishi and after the serials this early batchs went mainly to the Tainan and the 4th Kokutai. By the Battle of Santa Cruz(Oct 26, 1942) some A6M3 Model 32 were deployed with the Zuikaku. By this date, some 250 Model 32 were produced. Had other carriers operated the Mod 32?

Thanks
