Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs . . . The plus number next to a base’s Aviation Support value is base’s Seaplane Support value . . . quote:
AV – Aircraft Tender Provides Aviation Support points to bases for operating Float Planes (FP) and flying boats (an amphibious type of PA – patrol aircraft)[20.1.2] and some AVs can operate planes while underway (see notes below). Use #1 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at remote bases. Use #2 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at a base that would otherwise exceed the base’s available aviation support capacity. Use #3 – Operate FPs and float PAs while underway at remote locations (AV must have an “Air Capacity” value to operate while underway – see notes below). Use #4 – Transport FPs and float PAs (Aircraft Transport TF missions). Low priority use: cargo missions. Note: If an AV has an “Air Capacity” value, then the AV can operate planes while underway [7.0.1.1.1]. For example, the U.S. Curtiss Class AV has a 0 Air Capacity, but the U.S. Wright Class AV has a 4 Air Capacity; thus, the Wright Class AV can operate planes while underway and the Curtis Class AV cannot. Note: An AV’s “Seaplane Support” value is listed on the right side of Ship Information Screen. Note: The plus number next to a base’s Aviation Support value is base’s Seaplane Support value (e.g., points from a disbanded AV located in the base’s port). Note: An AV’s “Air Capacity/Used” value and the number of “Sorties, Max/Remaining” are listed on the right side of Ship Information Screen. Note: AVs, including those with an Air Capacity value of 0, can provide Aviation Support for FPs, FFs, and float PAs at any friendly airfield, including those that are size 0 (referred to as “dot” hexes) as long as they are on a coastal hex [7.0.1.1.1]. Note: [michaelm on 7/7/2011] Next build (1108p3) will have changes for when/how seaplanes draw supplies (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2852726&mpage=1&key=�). AVD – Aircraft Tender, Destroyer Destroyer modified to provide Aviation Support points to bases for operating Float Planes (FP) and flying boats (an amphibious type of PA – patrol aircraft)[20.1.2]. AVDs retain their ASW capabilities [20.1.2]. AVDs do not have “Air Capacity” values above 0 and therefore cannot operate planes while underway. Use #1 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at remote bases (can better defend itself than AV ships). Use #2 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at a base that would otherwise exceed the base’s available aviation support capacity. Use #4 – Transport FPs and float PAs (Aircraft Transport TF missions). Low priority uses: missions a DD is capable of performing (unlike DDs, AVDs cannot participate in an Air Combat TF, Replenishment TF, Mine Laying TF, or Mine Sweeping TF [20.1.2.1]. Note: An AVD’s “Seaplane Support” value is listed on the right side of Ship Information Screen. Note: The plus number next to a base’s Aviation Support value is base’s Seaplane Support value (e.g., points from a disbanded AV located in the base’s port).

AVP – Aircraft Tender, Patrol Provides Aviation Support points to bases for operating Float Planes (FP) and flying boats (an amphibious type of PA – patrol aircraft)[20.1.2] and one class of Dutch AVPs can operate planes while underway (see notes below). Use #1 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at remote bases. Use #2 – Provide Seaplane Support for FPs and float PAs operating at a base that would otherwise exceed the base’s available aviation support capacity. Use #3 – Transport FPs and float PAs (Aircraft Transport TF missions). Low priority use: cargo missions. Note: If an AVP has an “Air Capacity” value, then the AVP can operate planes while underway [7.0.1.1.1]. For example, the Dutch Arend Class AVP has an Air Capacity value of 1, but the Dutch Poolster Class AVP has a 0 Air Capacity; thus, the Arend Class AVP can operate 1 plane while underway and the Poolster Class AVP cannot. Note: An AVP’s “Seaplane Support” value is listed on the right side of Ship Information Screen. Note: The plus number next to a base’s Aviation Support value is base’s Seaplane Support value (e.g., points from a disbanded AV located in the base’s port).
