Talk:Naval aviation

message: I have moved the following text from the article to this talk page because with Wikipedia:Verifiability sources should be provided: 
:American naval aviation, the strongest sea-based air power on earth, owes its beginnings in large measure to a civilian exhibition pilot who hailed from Iowa, Eugene B. Ely. Ely made the first successful take-off of an aircraft from the deck of a naval vessel in Hampton Roads, Virginia in November 1910. Months later, Ely landed his Curtiss "Golden Flyer" aboard the stern of the cruiser USS Pennsylvania in San Francisco Bay. The amazed captain of the Pennsylvania called Ely's feat, "The most important landing since the dove returned to Noah's Ark." Unfortunately, Ely's contribution to naval aviation has been relegated to a footnote in military aviation history, although a display of retired Navy aircraft at Naval Air Station Norfolk is called Ely AirPower Park and a granite historical marker in Newport News, Va., overlooking the waters where Ely first flew in 1910, honors his efforts. Some also believe that CVN-78, a new generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, should be named the USS Eugene B. Ely.

message: I don't think that this article should not duplicate the Aircraft carrier article. Instead it should concentrate on none carrier aspects of naval avation. --Philip Baird Shearer 13:09, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Aircraft carriers

message: "Ther are a dwindling number of fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters deployed aboard aircraft carriers today."
Does anyone know what this sentence means?  To me dwindling means reducing towards zero so this seems to be saying that eventually aircraft carriers won't have any fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters.  Cjrother 15:02, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  dwindling? 

message: There was shore-based naval aviation, and still is, so maybe a section on it would be nice--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 23:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shore-based naval aviation 

message: This article seems focussed on manned, carrier-based, fixed-wing aviation, especially fighters. Naval aviation does include a variety of other ships, rotary winged aircraft, and remote piloted aircraft. It includes shore-based aircraft that are an integral part of a Navy (i.e. P-3), it's Marines, or naval infantry. There is even the special case of the RAF Apaches which were built to, and routinely operate from, Royal Navy helicopter carriers. It is appropriate to recognize the role that the US Coast Guard air assets play in our National Fleet concept.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.228.118.15 (talk) 19:37, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naval aviation is bigger than this 

message: So far, that section just mentions a few, common roles of naval aviation forces. It could be expanded to include a brief listing of other roles that many such forces have, such as search and rescue and support for maritime boarding operations. Listing these would not have to involve writing a lot of details. --Dreddmoto (talk) 15:38, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
