Re-size does not occur at sea. With shipboard air groups, it happens aboard ship at a base/port with level 1+ AF and 2X base supply.

Disbanded or not. Just as long as the CV is at a port....GP

Hence my use of "at" and not "in".

edit, the Gorn seems to be right, this time.

Not completely, I used an apostrophe on "it" for the possessive.

Well you are wrong about that - you got it right the first time (unless you edited your post) :

It's = contraction of "It is"
Its = possessive of It
ITS = the Information Technology Section that is very possessive of all the hardware. software and data streams of your organization's networks, and who treat users on a contraction of service basis (the less you speak their arcane language the less service you get).

I used "it's" both ways, one time as a possessive and one time as a plural. I got the possessive case wrong and it's [:)] still in my post.

Now gorns don't typically get off on cranes (especially sandhill cranes) but there are always exceptions.

So you admit you like Whoopers then! I should think that your getting off on them would encourage their call ...

Well, we all have a thing for "whoopers", everyone knows that. We have to use cloaking devices even to approach them.

We set our cloaking devices to "silly geese". Not everyone can tell the difference between a silly goose and a gorn, but whooping cranes know.

Stop that!



If a horse - donkey crossover is a mule, what do you call a Gorn - goose crossover?

It's possible to resize in the same turn. Put the carrier in a TF in port. Resize the air unit. Disband the TF. Voila, it's resized.

Haven't tried that. I'll test it later on when I have an opportunity....GP

Yes, it does work. If you can load air units with 0 active planes, you can resize more than one at the same time. [:D]

That is a beast of a carrier. I usually resize to get two 50-aircraft fighter squadrons. It's a good one to put F7F Tigercats on.

Put A-4s and F-4s on it. [8|]

Been too busy with RL the past few days to complete another turn and confirm if the resize will happen at sea.
Spent Saturday night taking in the heavens on the 2 acre country property my brother and I acquired under the darkest skies in all of Florida. Astronomy is my third hobby and gets juggled along with wargaming and model building.

Am working today to make up some lost time from being sick and hope to get a turn in when I get home this evening.

Have been unable to find a single squadron that can upgrade to F7F Tigercats.

I have been able to convert squadrons to use Tigercat Recon and Night fighter air frames, but nary a one that can use the straight fighter version.

UPDATE:

Screenshot confirms no resize implemented while ship is on station with Death Star.

Midway has been ordered to Nagasaki to get its air wing sorted out.

I would have sworn that I had done that before, but I am old and my memory is not what it used to be.

My curmudgeonlyness is much improved over what it used to be.

So you are getting better at it? Bravo! We have a tradition to keep up!

MichaelM is working on my beta version of curmudgeonlyness.

Additional Update:

After arrival at Nagasaki the squadron resized, but I also took notice that it was capable of upgrading to Tigercats.
This is the first squadron I have found capable of doing so.
It may be that only squadrons allocated to CVBs will be capable.
I get two of the CVBs in this scenario.
BillBrown should take note of this for the Focus Pacific scenario, where four CVBs are available.

I immediately implemented the upgrade:

Damn, I better replace that commander as well.
