Is NAVAIR designating operational squadrons today? Half a century ago it

NAVAIRPAC and NAVAIRLANT with that authority.

NAVAIR is the systems command (Pax River). NAVAIRPAC and NAVAIRLANT have
become Commander Naval Air Forces (CNAF) in San Diego, I think. NAVAIR
is
the hardware crowd.
I believe that it's NAVAIRPAC who has become CNAF (two hats) in 2001.
AIRLANT reports to CNAF and is now a two-star versus three.
I knew there was something like that going on. It has been a while since I
have been in the "Fleet"!
Thanks for the clarification.
