Disbanded in a dot or base hex. And don't forget about the AVP ships. So yes....GP

USS Wright, for example, should be classified as an AV. Further, she can mount catapults and use
a Hein Mat system to recover while moving. But classifying an allied ship as AV appears not to
work. So the language above is correct, even if not consistent with the manual.

AFAIK there're a few that do.

AV's need to be loaded with supply in order to support FP air ops.
