Why squadrons benefited from long-term carrier pairings

Did Japanese practice of pairing particular squadrons with particular carriers make sense?

Long-term pairing built teamwork, but crews still moved during refits and learned to operate across different carrier designs.

A permanent ship-squadron pairing would be inflexible when carriers entered refit. A long association, however, let aviators and ship crews learn one another's procedures and operate more effectively. British squadrons similarly tended to remain with a ship for years before moving during refit periods. The variety among Royal Navy carrier classes did not produce narrow ship-specific specialists; it made aircrews learn to operate across different deck arrangements. The useful principle was sustained teamwork without sacrificing cross-ship adaptability.
