Carrier training of carrier-capable units.

That's not possible in War in the Pacific - you are thinking of the Admirals Edition.

Status: offline 		I used the Long Island as an ASW carrier by embarking a Marine SBD uniit available at the beginning of the game. I assign several 4-stacker destroyers to complete the task force. I station it near the Rennell Islands until Henderson Field is operational, and then move the SBD's there.

The SBD's haven't killed a subs, but they have harassed them.
