Question about Position Defense subordinates' subordinate

[Raptor34]

The idea, which tbf I haven't actually tested if it even works yet, is that I'll have a carrier flag, then set out destroyers on position defense, then assign fighters to intercept/bombard for those. Does this work? And if it does, does those fighters return for repairs the same as if I assigned them to the carrier directly?

Sounds like someone needs to do an experiment and report back their findings! I'd be glad to know the answer. But I am at "work" right now, reading game forums, and so can't load up X4 to do a quick test.

In my 7.00 playthrough I had a Guppy as fleet leader, an Atlas assigned to Resupply role and then a couple Position Defense groups. Each group was lead by a Sapporo with assigned specialized fighter wings on Intercept and Bombard. Carrier and AUX can stay somewhere safe, while the Sapporos guard the frontilne.
