How to relocate air wing to carrier?
I would like to know how I can relocate an existing air wing to an existing carrier.

Currently I have an air wing of carrier fighters stationed at an air base. They have gathered some experience. That's why I want to replace the existing fighter air wing on the carrier that has no experience with that from the air base.

I can't figure out how to do it.

click on the carriertaskforce. you see the "carrier airbase". click and you see the carrier-planes. Press shift and click the airbase where your trained planes are. Now you see 2 airbases. leftclick on the trained planes. rightclick on the place of the carrier-airbase you want the trained planes to fly to. Now those planes recieved the order to move to the carrier
Thats all.

The carrier itself has an airbase icon on it which you can click on just like a land airbase, you can click on it when the task force the carrier is apart of stationary / in a port. This is the easiest way.

There is another way which allows you to move planes without stopping the fleet / taskforce from doing what ever it is doing, but it is harder to explain and truth be told iv'e not used it enough to know the exact process of the top of my head, it's also not vastly more efficient either so i'd just go with option 1.

Thank you both for your replies. I used the Shift-Click method. It worked great. I had no idea you could open multiple air bases like that.

FFS this is all EXTREMELY unhelpful. None of what these guys said following step for step works. Naturally because this post is like 3 years old it's probably been changed so now who the hell knows how any of this ♥♥♥♥ works. Why did they make it so damn difficult to move plans from one place to another I can't put newer better fighters on my carriers, they are locked to the old models I can't change it wtf.

Put your carrier assets in a different air theatre with a higher priority then your lane bases.

Necro aside, just click the aircraft circle like you would an airfield to select your carriers and after that you can assign your naval bombers to them.
