Scott,

Sorry for taking so long to answer - the aircraft go to CAP because they're withdrawing with the ships and so can't launch on a strike mission. They're really not flying CAP, but there's no third box to put them in (early designs had a third "Base" box but it took up space so it just got folded into CAP which really means "staying with the ships").
