Strategic movement and fighters on carriers

[Yoper]

Can fighters on ACs make strategic moves from the ACs?  If so, does the air unit move before the AC moves (either a tactical move or a strategic move) or does it launch after the AC moves?

After would seem to give it crazy range if the AC is allowed to move.  Especially if it (the AC) also made a strategic move.

Is this an instance where only land based air units can make a strategic move and the air units on an AC only get to ride along with the AC on a strategic move?

I understand the idea of flying out to meet the ACs by making a strategic move (ie the Attack on Pearl) with the fighters.  Or a strategic move plus a mech phase move.  They were probably being used on the Asian mainland and then met up with the ACs north of Hawaii.

This question comes about from the USA player trying to get fighters to the other side of the Pacific in one turn.

Hi Craig,

I only found the following reference to the rule question you have below, which will need to be clarified:

"Aircraft carriers utilizing strategic movement may also move their planes (therefore, their planes may not participate in combat)."

Clarification:
Planes on carriers may either move strategically by themselves before the carrier moves or move along with the carrier that strategically deploys and not move themselves, but planes can not fly off of a carrier that strategically moves after the carrier moves (and in effect getting two strategic movements out of the planes).
