That's what I am saying carrying extra fighter squadrons to claim their
availability for launch IS a rules lawyer question. Tying it to bays
relieves
the problem. A modern carrier has four launch catapults therefore it can
launch four aircraft in rapid succession. That is tied to the launch
facilities not to the number of squadrons carried. Occam's razor says
tie
your rules to the facts and then go for simplicity.
