The captains of U.S. aircraft carriers vary as they are assigned based on the Navy's operational requirements and personnel rotations. Each carrier typically has a commanding officer (captain) who is responsible for the overall operations, safety, and mission success of the ship. These captains are highly experienced naval officers, usually with extensive backgrounds in aviation and ship command. For the most current information on specific captains, one would need to refer to the U.S. Navy's official announcements or reports, as assignments can change frequently.

Did the pilots during World War 2 that flew off the navy carriers fall under the army air corp or where they navy?
US Navy Aircraft Carriers normally operated US Navy aircraft flown by US Navy pilots; however sometimes during WW2 these aircraft carriers had US Army Air Force or US Marine Corps aircraft on-board to be flown-off by Army or Marine pilots. This was for ferrying operations. These aircraft would take off from the carriers but land on an airfield. Army pilots were not trained to land on carriers, neither were the Army aircraft equipped for carrier landings. US Marine pilots & Marine aircraft could operate from carriers if necessary, until they could be established at an airfield.
