There is an 8-ball on the right side of CAG's flight helmet. CAG was previously the acronym for Carrier Air Group, as well as Commander, Air Group. Hence, the air group commander was and is referred to as CAG. Until 1963 the air groups were designated as Carrier Air Group (CAG or CVG being somewhat interchangeable, with CVG being official). In 1963, the designation was changed to CVW, for Carrier Air Wing. However, calling the air group commander "CAW" or "CVW" just wouldn't sound right, so the commander is still called CAG, which is still accurate, since CAG had a double meaning at first, but now just has the single (present) meaning of Commander, Air Group. Further, all air wings are numbered and their aircraft carry a two letter designation.
