Carrier Strike Group

Makeup and Command Structure

One thing that needs communicating: There is no such thing as a standard Carrier Strike Group, one may have more destroyers another less cruisers one may have a tanker in tow another may have an entire ARG. One thing that is clear, all will have a CSG designation (Such as CSG-11), they will all have an Airwing attached (Such as Carrier Air Wing 11) and all will have a Destroyer Squadron attached (Such as Desron 9) and most if not all will have one or two cruisers assigned, along with helicopter squardrons. Look for the new FFG's to be incorporated into various Destroyer Squadrons as more become available, Barring any accelerated procurement of a new cruiser class, these will most likely relieve some of the pressure on the Arleigh Burkes, as more and more Ticonderoga cruisers retire.

Who's In Charge?

The Chain of command in the military, is to operations, as God is to religion. The structure is there for a reason, is generally overkill and breached at ones own peril. Obviously many of the commanders we will discuss will not be activated unless a conflict presents itself.

Distributed Lethality

Distributed lethality is the condition gained by increasing the offensive power of individual components of the surface force (cruisers, destroyers, FFG's, amphibious ships, and logistics ships) and then employing them in dispersed offensive formations known as "hunter-killer SAGs."

But Carriers are obsolete!

Only the IQ challanged would make such an argument. Even if we were flying death gliders we still need a place to land and refuel. Few countries have the resources necessary to even find a Carrier let alone shoot at it.
