So the only way to use the carriers full potential is to add squadrons to a CV. I guess this is kind of historical. AFAIK Marine fighter squadron were sometimes based on carriers. It would have been nice though to find this piece of info somewhere, the manual for instance.

I am kind of surprised though that this topic is so difficult to answer. Surely others must have noticed that their carriers are low on aircraft and asked themselves, how do I get the full potential out of my flattops?

Twas always thus'
Putting extra squadrons on early allows greatter flexibility. Extra fighters works if you need one on cap and one on LRCap. Extra DB's if your going out looking for a fight or TBF's when available. Carrier capable can also become carrier trained, cutting down operational accidents. There is another resize in 1945 IIRC when VBF activate.
