carrier air
Why is a Navy “Carrier Air Group” referred to as a “CVG”?
It’s the “V” that I don’t understand.
V stands for fixed-wing aircraft (as opposed to, for example, helicopters). Visualize a flight of World War II Grumman Hellcats on a carrier deck with their wings folded so as to fit more of them on the deck. Looking at the plane from the front, the wings would have the shape of a V, would they not?
Similarly, the hull number of the USS Nimitz is CVN 68. The C stands for carrier; the V means that the Nimitz launches fixed-wing aircraft; and the N means that the carrier is powered by a nuclear reactor.
