The third was established as CVG-15 on 5 April 1951 then redesignated Carrier Air Wing (CVW)-15 on 20 December 1963 and disestablished on 31 March 1995. The second was a Carrier Air Group which was established in 1945 as CVG-153, redesignated CVAG-15 on 15 November 1946, then redesignated CVG-15 on 1 September 1948 and disestablished on 1 December 1949. The first was a WWII Carrier Air Group which existed as CVG-15 from to. For example there were three carrier air groups which were designated CVG-15 at some point in each of their existence and none of those three groups were related to each other. For example, there are two wings that exist today which have been identified by five different designations during the course of their existence.Ī wing/group exists separately from its designation and a single designation could be used to identify multiple different wings/groups at different points in time. During the course of a wing's existence it could be identified by multiple different designations. A further two were established prior to the United States' entry into WWII on 7 December 1941 and 86 more were established during the war, of which four still exist today. There have been a total of 133 Carrier Air Wings (called Carrier Air Groups prior to 20 December 1963) dating back to 1 July 1938 when the first five were established, two of which still exist today. All Navy aircraft wings are commanded by a Navy Captain though the commander of a Training Air Wing or a Naval Test Wing could be a Marine Colonel. Type Wings consist of squadrons of a single type/model of aircraft, they are non-deploying "force providers" that provide combat ready squadrons or detachments to deploying Carrier Air Wings or to other Navy or joint forces. Patrol and Reconnaissance Wings, Test Wings and Training Wings are examples of functional wings, these wings may consist of a single type of aircraft or of a variety of types needed to perform the wing's specific function. These land based wings are organized either to perform a specific function ( Functional Wings) or around a specific aircraft type/model ( Type Wings). In addition to its Carrier Air Wings the Navy operates various land based wings. Navy operates Carrier Air Wings which are operational units made up of squadrons of different types of aircraft that deploy aboard aircraft carriers. This is a list of United States Navy aircraft wings.
