It is an honor to participate in this symposium, and I'm particularly pleased to be asked to address a topic which has been my professional life for over 30 yers. The subject of fixed wing carrier operations covers a field that is as broad as it is deep, touching so many interesting subcategories and evoking so many memories that it is probably fortunate for you that my time is restricted.
I will address four specific areas: Carrier and Carrier Battle Group structure, organization, and function; carrier air wing structure and missions; flight operations; and future developments in fixed wing carrier operations. In post-world War II Terms, the greatest conflict in fixed wing carrier philosophy has been the extend to which aircraft design must be compromised to enable it to be flown successfully from a ship of reasonable size and cost.
