I believe the "V" in CV is the same as the "V" in all the Navy squadron codes. For example: VF-17 or VA-196.

The "V" is used to indicate the unit is operating heavier-than-air aircraft.

So a CV is a carrier of heavier-than-air aircraft.

I heard the same thing and I believe that is correct in the earlier period when the CV's first came out. I have seen reference to the V standing for aViation, and Volor, but I have never read that in any books I went studied while serving.

In Nav School we were taught that the "V" represents Fixed wing, while the "H" represented Rotary Wing. Hence the squadron identifiers VA 196 = Fixed wing Attack, VF 15 = Fixed wing Fighter, VS 41 = Fixed wing Anti Submarine, VP 69 = Fixed wing Patrol, HS 6.= Helicopter Squadron.

Now a days the CV's are technically CVN with the N representing Nuclear Powered. . . .as the Oil burners have all been retired. . . .

CORRECT

and I thank God that I was not assigned to a Squadron that was attached to a carrier wing that was assigned to the Saratoga, kittyhawk etc

My old man did his West Pac on the Sh*tty Kitty. They ran over a Russian Submarine on that cruise. He was with VS-38 at the time.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Carrier, of heavier-than-air aircraft.

The "V" is a hangover from the old days (1920) when the USN also used to operate blimps. There were separate designations for lighter-than-air and heavier-than-air machines - V for heavier than air, Z for lighter than air.

This is why US Navy squadrons (fixed-wing) have a "V" in their designation - because they operate non-blimps.

Ok, y’all need to hear my story from a while ago...

From 2008ish?
————-
Last night while I was flying, my wife came over to see what the commotion was about - the screen was looking like I was flying through a black fog bank, with loud sounds of flak impacts, the odd crash of something breaking.  We had an interesting conversation that sounded like a Gilmore girls episode.

"What's all those black little clouds?" she asked

"Black death - flak" I replied

"You know, that plane was probably flown by 19-20 year olds who were scared out of their wits."

"Japanese” I replied

"Fine, Japanese boys. Is the terror any different?"

"It's all about immersion" I replied

I hopped into the bomb site to re-calibrate before my drop.

"What's this?"

"bombsite" (calibrating)

"are those ummm... aircraft carriers?"

"Yep"   At this point, my lead bomber explodes (it must of been on fire) and I'm suddenly in the next plane.  You can see my former lead plane exploding with wing parts and other debris raining on the plane.  Loud bangs can be heard.

"Did you just blow up?"

"My lead bomber did"  - back into the bombsight..  Background is just crazy as the plane is being shaken like a toddler with a bug in a jar.  I'm trying to calibrate but I just can't get a view because of the flak.

"Why are you diving?"

"Change of plans."

"Are you commiewazine..um... what do you call it?"

"Kamikaze - maybe. I can't get a clear shot of calibrate my bombsite. So we're now dive bombing."

Now, all the ships in the CV group have opened up their lazer cannons on me, suddently, my right bomber explodes, in the message bar, states 1Duke1 shot me down for the second time.  Ruh roh - dukie's in the 5 inch.  The first was no accidental flak death.  I should of been paying closer attention to the message bar

"Crap"

"What?"

"Dukes in the 5 inch."

"Who?"

"Duke" - I hear a loud smack from a 5" impact and switch to external view

"your plane is missing part of your tail"

"I know" another smack and I bring up the damage list

"Most of that list is red. Is that bad?"

"Yes"

"Is this a now a Kamakzie dive?"

"Yes"

"Are those young boys in your plane going to die?"

"What?" - now I'm in a full fledged non-stop dive.  I can hear the wings creaking.

"You know, the japanese boys flying your bomber?  Oh, there goes a wing"

"I know"

"You're plane is falling apart"

"I know" - another smack from the 5".

"your plane is on fire"

"I know" - I'm off target and I know that I'm never going to hit with around 1500 feet left. I eject

"Did you get thrown out of your plane?"

"No, I ejected"

"Like that?"

"Like that."

"Wow, that ship is big."

"Its an aircraft carrier."

"The one you were trying to bomb?"

"The one"

"So what do you do now?"

"Swim for home."

"You're funny.  This game is boring.  Oh look, is the carrier going to run you over?"

"Yep"

"I'm off to read a book.  Enjoy the carrier being imprinted on your forehead"



Isn't this game AWESOME when our better half's nag us while we play?  :x

 :rofl :rofl :rofl This is great content right here.  I've come to learn that wives just don't understand.  (PS I was 16 in 2008  :confused: :uhoh)

  I had to do that once,wasnt a divorce attorney just the run of a mill lawyer.

 I had to hire a lawyer to fire a lawyer.....Then the first lawyer sent me a bill,I told him to pound sand and send it to my new lawyer,his replacement. I never did have to pay as my new lawyer said the old one was looking at a malpractice case.

  The new lawyer somehow got paid...... they always get paid.
