Нет. Очевидно, что пилот флотской базовой авиации не станет командиром корабля - и, соответственно, не будет ни командующим флотом, ни главкомом ВМФ.
Ув. HorNet всё это - и соответствующие последствия - прекрасно расписал:
Soviet naval aviators, all commissioned officers, held field rank instead of deck (naval) rank and were completely out of the chain of command of naval surface ships, units, and staffs, let alone submarines. Their areas of responsibility and service were almost exclusively aviation matters. Each of the four fleet staffs, typically headed by a full admiral (three stars) or a vice admiral (two stars), had a subordinate Staff of Naval Aviation of the X Fleet (where X would be Baltic, Northern, Black Sea, or Pacific), which commanded all the fleet’s air units. For each fleet’s commanding general of aviation, typically a major general or lieutenant general, to whom this staff reported, there was only one possible next career step within the navy: to become commanding general of Naval Aviation of the Soviet Navy in the Naval Main Staff in Moscow, as a colonel general.
Needless to say, then, almost all naval aviators and naval air navigators (roughly similar to American naval flight officers) from the beginning of their careers kept their eyes the other way—toward an interservice transfer to the VVS,
where they could reach much higher command assignments, as air marshals.17 Moreover, all of them had friends in the VVS , because the navy did not have its own system of pilot and navigator training courses, schools, or academies. All naval aviators, navigators, and aviation engineers were (and still are) graduates of VVS air military colleges or air military engineering colleges.18
Менее очевидно, но точно так же пилот "морской" части в составе ВВС так же едва ли достигнет карьерных вершин - и, что ещё важнее, для руководства ВВС "морские задачи" будут на периферии собственных задач ВВС по умолчанию.
