The major flaw or the weakness of the navy Mussolini built was the lack of an aircraft carrier. He believed that for operations in the Mediterranean Sea, his submarine fleet and land based aircraft would make up for the lack of an aircraft carrier. This was a major mistake if his plan was to dominate the Mediterranean Sea.
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
The "R" on an aircraft carrier stands for "Repair." It designates the ship's capability to conduct maintenance and repairs on aircraft. This designation is part of a classification system used by the U.S. Navy to indicate the ship's primary function and support capabilities.
The CV indicates an Aircraft Carrier. The A at the end indicates it is designed for Attack use. The US Navy does not currently have any CVAs.
