Modern Carrier Battle Group..Strategies and Tactics
- Thread starter Kampfwagen
- Start date
The USN, China, India, and now Russia has put on a CBG display lately, since its going around the neighborhood, we might as well show our colors as well, its the latest in fashion to show your carrier, carriers as the case may be, and their battle group.... its called "keeping up with the Joneses".
THAT is a nice picture.Yesterday the Italian Navy put this on Facebook:
...but they don't say what was the occasion nor why the Cavour (550), Giuseppe Garibaldi (551), two Horizon-class "frigates" etc. formed a line of battle
The Italians are showing the world that there is someone else who can conduct dual carrier operations outside of the US and India.

One more, then: Don't understand the maneuvers the Cavour was doing, though
If that is a unedited picture, then they are performing some kind of a passing maneuver so the whole line, one at a time, turns 180 degrees and then passes down the oncoming line going the other direction.

Very interesting indeed Jura. Do anyone know whether "YJ-12" has been tested before, & the results?
BTW, I wish in advance all Chinese members of this professional website "Gong Xi Fa-Cai" (Happy Lunar New Year). May the "Year of the Horse" bring us Peace and Prosperity with Blessings from Above. Enjoy your re-union dinner on 30 Jan. I will, with my wonderful wife and in-laws.

advill, a moment ago I checked what Russian Internet sources have to say; recent article "Enigmatic Chinese AShM" summarizes the hearsay and, as the title indicates, basically nothing is known

Uhmmm, lemme see now.
If these old eyes don't deceive me, that looks like a ski-jump carrier.
But does the Italian Navy operate aircraft that can actually use the ski-jump?
I suspect not.
And if they don't, why have it on the carrier?
Furthermore any prospects of getting something in the future are rather dim given Italy's economic problems.
Just my 2 cents.
