Below is a list of USN carrier air groups and independent squadrons with their location and standard composition on/about 1 Aug 45. The navy was working toward an establishment of at least two air groups per aircraft carrier. As of July 1945 the plan was to establish 6 CVB AIR GROUPS, 50 CV AIR GROUPS, 6 NIGHT CV AIR GROUPS, 16 CVL AIR GROUPS, 4 SAIPAN CLASS CVL AIR GROUPS, 30 CVE AIR GROUPS, 12 NIGHT CVE AIR GROUPS, 44 VC SQUADRONS FOR KAISER CLASS CVEs, and 30 MARINE CVE AIR GROUPS by the end of 1946. By that time the NAVY AND MARINE CVE AIR GROUPS would have replaced the 44 VC SQUADRONS, which would be decommissioned gradually during they year, beginning in Apr 46.
