This rule was actually changed from the way it was in Revised in order to prevent air units from getting an extra movement. In Revised, when a carrier was mobilized fighters were allowed to be moved from the territory containing the IC onto the carrier. Under that rule, a fighter could move from New South Wales and attack Japanese-held Western Australia, then fly back to New South Wales in noncombat movement, then be moved onto a new carrier in sea zone 62 in the Mobilize New Units phase, resulting in five spaces of movement.

They have to stay. They can’t take off from a damaged carrier.
