The Corsair was accually designed for the USN to use as a carrier plane. But there were some problems in early trials, so it was given to the Marines to use as land based. The British figured out the problems with using the Corsair from carriers and the USN stated using them for carrier ops, but not until 1944.

I also had one of my carrier Wildcat squadrons upgrade to Corsairs when I temporarily transfered it to a land base. All my Wildcat squadrons that stayed on carriers upgraded to Hellcats. Since it happened to you also I assume that for some reason, a bug most likely, if the Wildcats are on land bases they upgrade to Corsairs and if they are on carriers they upgrade to Hellcats.

Not a problem though, even if the USN didnt use them for carrier ops until 1944 you can use them for carrier ops in the game. So if you end up needing them for a carrier you can use them. They work just as well as the Hellcats :)
