Furthermore, what’s up with reducing the number of aircraft in the Air Wings? Is it just a matter or replacing the Tomcat Squadrons or is there something else going on?

They're reducing the number of carriers so they're cutting the number of air wings. Eleven carriers, ten air wings.

That’s not what I was talking about, but even that is interesting. I was talking about the total number of aircraft per Air Wing, not the total number of Air Wings. This may be the first time that I’m aware of though that the Navy had more Carriers than it did Carrier Air Wings.
