Re: The Real Death Of Attack Carriers
The modern carrier group is a Defence in depth model
ASW frigates surround the fleet outside torpedo range, these are covered by AAW destroyers which protect the entire group from above, allied with air defence from the carrier air arm. beneath the surface are several hunter killer/fleet subs designed to protect against an incursion. C&C is done from the Carrier and this is all drilled and co-ordinated, with all the compoinents moving as one unit at the speed of the slowest.
this can then deliver a strike wing to anywhere in the litorial region (from edge of international waters to 200miles inland)
