CARRIER DIVISIONS
LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Recognize the
broad purpose of the aircraft carrier within a
Navy task force.
Now you know the basic organization of a carrier.
This knowledge allows you to understand how your
carrier fits in the total organization of the Navy. If more
than one carrier is operating with a Navy task force,
your carrier is a part of a carrier division (CARDIV).
The commander of a carrier division is usually an
admiral, who is assisted by a staff of highly qualified
officers and administrative personnel.
The carrier division will be a part of either the
Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet or the U.S. Pacific
Fleet. A carrier division operating with the Atlantic
Fleet will receive orders from the Commander, Naval
Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet (COMNAVAIRLANT).
If the carrier operates with the Pacific forces, orders
will come from the Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S.
Pacific
Fleet
(COMNAVAIRPAC).
COMNAV-
AIRLANT is directed by the Commander in Chief,
U.S. Atlantic Fleet (CINCLANTFLT). COMNAV-
AIRPAC is directed by the Commander in Chief, U.S.
Pacific Fleet (CINCPACFLT). CINCLANTFLT and
