I still don't understand adding planes to a carrier.

Q: How do I place planes on Carrier?

Rebase to Carrier mission. Select the CAG and right click the province with the naval base housing the carriers. You can also rebase CAGs to Carriers at sea.

That's in the FAQ.
But I don't know what it means.

What's a CAG?

I have a bunch of Carriers as part of one of my fleets.
And I just made a bunch of interceptors.

How exactly do I add those planes to the carriers?
What do I click?

I tried the rebase mission, but it just puts them back in the same province, and leaves them in the airbase.

CAG = Carrier Air Group which is an aircraft type and the only type able to be stationed on carriers.

Oh... I see. So you need specific planes.
That explains a lot.

EDIT:

One last question then. How many CAG's can a carrier carry?

2 per carrier
1 per escort carrier

Obviously you need purpose build CAGS. Wait till those are made, deploy in same province as fleet.

Then select the planes. Click on the port where your carriers are stationed. An option of "rebase to carrier" should be available. Click that and the planes will go on the carrier.

If you're still having trouble with that, take the carriers out of port, and into the sea zone next to the port. Select the CAG, click on the naval group, select "rebase to carrier".
