Well, you may be correct, but that is the way it was explained to me several years ago, who knows maybe my mentor/literature was incorrect. But the term CVS would fit with VS squadrons which are ASW, thus keeping with your theory CVA would link with VA squadrons which are attack squadrons. VF are fighter squadrons (there has never been such a thing as a CVF) and all three types of aircraft served aboard CVA's and now CVN's. Although the VS squadrons are only doing tanking now and may have had a name change. ASW was perfomed on CVA's for the last thirty years before the A was dropped. Besides the USS Midway and Coral Sea CVA-41 and CVA 43 were built during WWII. So I guess we reign in confusion now. I would also say that the squadrons during WWII were primarily attack as well. I will try to verify the legacy. The A-5 was the largest plane to fly off a carrier and was designed as a nuclear bomber but got relegated to reconnaissance. I doubt it weighed more than 75,000 pounds.
