To avoid the 'dreaded' page 2, I'll post a short note. [:)]
Right now I'm thinking about having the hybrid CLV/CAV/CVLs be added to each of the 5 American heavy CVs. There are four at start with a fifth (CVL King's Mountain) coming in with CV Yorktown at end of Dec 41. Anybody who has followed some of my posting knows that I will place a 18 plane Marine fighter group on my American CVs (except Wasp) through most of 42. In July 42, the American CV fighter groups expand to 36 planes. Add in the 36 SBD and 15 Avengers and you get 87. Too much to keep the 18 plane Marine groups. However, I can switch the Marines over to the hybrids which often can hold just 18 planes and take off their two groups (12 fighters and 6 SBD). The 12 plane fighters can go to the CVs and I'll keep the 36 plane newly expanded groups short a few. Right now, I could keep them all and have the total be 99 planes. I'll keep the total 2 to 4 below the 110% level. My word for 42 for CVs is Survivability!! [:D]
For those unfamiliar with RA and now BTS, the Allies can convert some AV and AKVs to CVEs which I do.
I think this pairing of CV and CVL is perfect and you have have a very effective plan for the use of the air groups verse carrier deck space. That will also give us some shore based SDBs and possibly place one of the size 6 SDBs on the Wasp. You can either train with the rest for forward deploy them with the Marine Dive Bomber air units.
