Thanks.

All planes damaged?

At least, I could not get another air unit on the carrier until I recombined the divisions into a complete air unit.

There are only 4 squads on the CV, all serviceable.

Mower, do you per chance use the first Corsair or some other Navy plane that might look CV capable at first but in reality is not?

If a squadron is attached to a specific command (IE not independent) can it not be transferred from an airbase to a CV?

Only if the air unit itself is not restricted. You buy the air unit out to an unrestricted command then load it onto the US CV and then it becomes independent.

Howso please, the manual does not specify.

Also, unrelated, how can I tell if a ground unit is an airbase support unit? The manual does not specify this.

You buy out an air unit like any other unit, that is you change the command.

If a support unit has air support squads, then it is an airbase support unit althoughit maalso have other functions.

Most likely you have a ship that was supposed to be withdrawn and you haven't yet.

Status: offline 		Thanks bro, I dont have any such overdue ships but lots of squadrons overdue. Is there any way to withdraw many at a time? Going through the squadron lists and doing so one by one is tedious in the extreme.

Select it. All of the overdue ones will be listed at the top. You can access them from there and as you withdraw a unit you will be returned back to the screen and you can select another one.

This because a significant proportion of squadrons have a "P" - for permanent - withdrawal postscipt on the with draw date. You lose the planes and pilots when they go, so, you need to go and shift all the pilots to the general reserve, and, if possible, downgrade the aircraft to something obsolete before you hit the withdraw button.

There are many other withdrawing air groups without the "P" - with those the planes and pilots go to the pools automatically.

Notes:

1. If you disband far away from home with a bunch of damaged aircraft, a proportion of those damaged aircraft will not make it to the pool.

2. If the airgroup is on a small base, with not enough supply, you will have to fly it somewhere bigger and/or better supplied to enable it to withdraw (on time or at all).

3. You can't withdraw if there is a fragment left behind.

4. If in a hurry, the best solution is to disband any fragments into another group at that base to delete them, and then disband the parent.

5. I can't remember if you can do Note 4 with a fragment of a "P" withdrawal group. Perhaps not.

6. If you withdraw early, you may get a message enquiring whether you would like to receive some positive number of PPs. Take them. You still get the planes and pilots back.
