The names of these two organiza-tions are changed respectively to AIRCRAFT SQUADRONS SCOUT-ING FliEKT AND AIRCRAFT SQUADRONS BATTIE FLEET.Zm The present practice of numbering some of the Air-craft Squadrons to conform to the number of the squadron ofships they serve in the fleet is hereby superseded by thesystem of numbering all Aircraft Squadrons serially in eachclass in the order of the authorization for organizing them;the class names of Aircraft Squadrons conform to the stand-ard nomenclature given on page 7 of Ships Data, U.S. NavalTessel.3. The following assignment of Aircraft Squadrons toFleets and to ships under Aircraft Squadrons Command hasbeen made by the Chief of Naval Operations after consulta-tion with the Bureau of Aeronautics. Temporary changes inthe assignment of any Aircraft Squadron within their Fleetsor Forces, including assignments to base temporarily on ashore station, or elsewhere on shore, may be made at thediscretion of the Commander of the Fleet or Force to whichthe Aircraft Squadron is assigned; all such changes shallbe reported promptly to the Chief of Naval Operations andto the Chiefs of Bureaus of Navigation and Aeronautics.4. Assignments of planes and operating personnel toindividual ships not under Aircraft Squadrons command willbe made by the Fleet or Force Com:nander concerned from theAircraft Squadrons listed below as available for such as-

Uote: The omission of fighting planes from the Aircraft Squad-rons Scouting Fleet is due to the delay in the completion of theflying field at ^.k.S. Hampton Roads 6. General duties and operating allowances of the above unitare as follows;
