I always keep a strong ASW group with her. She's a fragile old girl.

Since she's slow, the slower PG/PC's are good to use too.

Status: offline 		Currently, I have Long Island bringing back the fragmented squadrons from my "Coral Sea" off the east coast fo Oz. I had to sent it with an AO because my planes kept transferring to the nearest base for "I & I." Thus, I am so far from any Allied bases that sub attack is unlikely, but I have 6 DD's just in case.

Am I correct in reading the other messages that the VR's on the CVE's are to be used as replacements for the regular CV's. To increase their experince, set them to training at 90 or 100%. Right??

The training mission is a good one to set them on.
Supposedly their experience is going to be increased. Either in 1.6 or Pry's scenarios. Can't remember which one right now.

Status: offline 		The only thing that's missing from the game regarding CVE's is the ability to put them in ASW task forces, thus creating an Atlantic-style hunter-killer group. I'm not sure if that tactic was used in the Pacific, though...

Status: offline 		I've done the same thing with her... Put Dauntlesses on her, with about 6-8 ASW capable ships. The Dauntlesses spot the sub, I detach 4 DDs to go to the spot, and sometimes I even get lucky with a hit from the planes...

Patrolling back and forth over the convoy lanes helps.

No. Units that are carrier capable cannot be trained to be carrier trained. It's fixed in game. One can use carrier capable units on carriers, they don't perform worse, but may suffer higher ops losses.
