Actually, I havent ever seen the mighty Long Island launch. I tried putting a squadron of SBDs on it for ASW work but its done nothing that I know of. The squadron's mission totals haven't budged. The squadron is "CV capable", of course, but they should still fly. Jeez, if I wanted to move planes, I'd use an AK. [8|]

There are plenty of carrier-capable air units lying around the home islands. Put on a zero daitai (you'll have to upgrade claudes), a kate daitai, or a val daitai, or you could break some daitai down and mix and match.

Select an air unit to transfer. In the center of the air unit info screen you will see a button "transfer to ship". Click this and you will see a list of ships elegible to receive the air unit. Note that in order to receive a transfer, a carrier must be in an air combat TF (cannot be at anchor).
