I actually found the bogue to be one of the best USN CVs(mainly because I'm only on a yorktown...which sucks) because no one really expects you to be effective.

How to take advantage of this momentous evant:

 Load 12 locals, and however many scouts you can hold. And if you have 2 scout pilots, load them too if you can.
righthander is right, T1s can't do crap, and I've even had a T4 SCOUT shoot a few of mine down. So use all 15 of your locals, and keep them loaded in 3 groups of 2, just like what righthander did with the Indy, but more effectively as you are a lesser target than the CL sitting next to you.

One you have your locals  and scouts loaded, get into GB, and follow the biggest BB down south around like he's your little lost puppy. Just remember to stay a bit behind allied lines, close enough that your locals can go about 1.5x as far out as the line is, for nailing scouts. Then just pull your locals up when you see a scout or ANYTHING, just remember to bring them back when you see higher tier fighters. 
All the while, try to set your scout(s) down south, never at default hight of course, and try to keep them out of harm's way. I've won many a game that way, but you can't really do it as well with anything higher than a T2 carrier.

Hope it helps. 

In addition to the CV1 tasks mentioned, there is another.   Having a few TBs to go after subs is a darn good help to your team.

I flight of 3 TBs into the middle of a SS vs SS battle is always good.   The TBs are not being hit by AA and enemy Fs don't really patrol over their teams SS.    Futher the Sub battle is not that far away so your TBS get their soon after launch.

You can dive down and launch torps.  You might get a hit or force the SS to critical dive.   The SS that critical dives stops and your teams SS have time to line up for a shot.   And of course, the SS takes damage in a critical dive so even if you miss, you help your team by weaking the SS.

Same goes for helping an ASW ship.   He'll see him for you and you can cause the enemy SS driver grief as he dodges torps, HHs, or DCs.     

If the SS has penetrated your line and is in "sight", you might be the only hope as the "sighting" ship may be a lower lvl DD or FF that has no ASW capability.  

Many great battle games end up with the winning team chasing an SS.   Fs can watch the SS but they can't do anything.   But a few TBs can help finish him off.

You have to be aware of friendlys if you chase SS with TBs.  You don't want a torp to hit one of your team mates.   So be aware of where the torps will go.

Anyway I got 

5 ftrs +12 (boosted)
3 future DB bombers +11 (bot boosted)

Is that set up okay for a bouge?

Best tips for low level CVs.

Listen for, watch out and avoid higher level or better fighters.

Listen for, find and kill bombers. If planes are near water, manually lower you planes.
The closer to the same height they are, the mroe effective they are @ not wasting ammo while changing altitude.

Find and Kill scouts.



If you are having a hard time positioning planes to kill others. Scouting helps your team greatly as well as you can kill scouts that launch off the enemy line if you position your planes just outside of AA or sight range of the enemy ships.

If TBing learn how to manual TB, once you get used to it, they become near impossible to dodge.

Stay away from locals, they make playing T3s a hard experience when they should be a "I'm getting better" experience.
