NAS Whidbey Island has two Paddles frequencies used for Field Carrier
Landing Practice (FCLP) and Carrier Controlled Approach (CCA).
Fom the Whidbey Air Operations Manual:

CHANNEL FREQUENCY AGENCY

8 363.6 NUW Paddles

9 384.4 Coup Paddles

NUW = Ault Field
Coup = Outlying Field (OLF), Coupeville.
