Question about transferring naval air units

I'm trying to move some USN air units from an air base onto CV's in the same port hex. The CV's have room, the USN air units are set to Independent but no dice. The button text is white but when I click on it, no ships show up. Stumped.

Are the USN units Carrier Trained, or Carrier Capable?

There is a difference between carrier trained and capable. The information is available on the sqaudron main screen. IIRC you need to doc the ship in a TF and then you can do it from that base.

AS Everest says , you can have squadrons that are equipped with naval capable planes but if the squadron isn't trained (its hard coded , top left of sqdn screen) than cannot be loaded onto Cv's . Note that CV Trained is the best and CV capable are liable to have heavy ops losses.
CV capable sqds can be trained to CV trained by just letting them fly on and off CV's . if you have spare CVE's then imo move the CV capable units onto them at either CAP or search 10% to make them fly and leave them alone till trained. Not sure if higher % equates to faster training to CV trained though.
best of luck

No, these units came off of one CV that I put in for repairs and I want to use them to fill out another CV. So they are carrier capable and carrier trained.

I'm baffled . . . after hitting the transfer to ship button, the cv should appear in the list.

Got point, I will check when my pbem opponent sends the next turn and then report back.

What is the timeframe to train CV Capable into CV Trained?

by CV 2
Took me about 3-4 months to train a few Marine groups to CV trained. Cant give exact, because frankly I didnt watch it that closely. Carriers were to port in Dec 41 and the groups became carrier trained in Mar 42.

ok.. I think you are incorrect, i fits a cv capable it can load, if it has transfered from or two it cannot load.. as above there is a limit on cv numbers...
BUT if it stated in the port, then the only thing I am thinking it could be, is there may be a corrilation in available ops points, I honestly do not know if ops points affect carrier landings...
again, one absolutley can add non trained but carrieer capable non restriced air units to cvs
