This was what I was going to suggest as well.
Small craft bays may launch 1 craft per turn (they are not designed for 
quick launch or recovery).
Fighter Bays are designed for quick launch, quick recovery and quick 
servicing. They may launch 6 fighters per turn.

Thus, while you could house fighters in a small craft bay, it would take
6 
turns to launch an entire squadron.
