Re: Anti-Carrier Trump Card
That's probably not the whole CVBG, there's not a 'huge' amount of water on the picture, I think the escorts are sailing closer to the CV's than usual for the picture. If nothing else there needs to be a support group with more escorts and some AOR's and other supply ships that can be called upon if needed.

Re: Anti-Carrier Trump Card
Migleader, I made 7 deployments on 5 different CV's. Just because you can't see the escorts does not mean they aren't there. The escorts are often over 50 miles(or more)away.
Three Ticos could have taken on the entire Iraqi Navy? True. But very funny!

Re: AWACS for future chinese carrier
... and the Y-7 could be nice carrier-borne awacs, but both of them should need catapult to take off by a carrier (I know, someone her plead for rocket assisted take off, but I think this is to dangerous by small carrier-deck - and to complicate ....)Gollevainen said:

I was in the USN for 20 years . That's how I can say that. 20 years. It was real, I was there. I know how they operate. I know of what I post. I don't make things up. i only post from my knowledge or researched facts. My 25 year old son has been on active duty for 7.5 years. He keeps me informed about what the USN is doing to the unclassified extent he can.
The position of the escorts depends a lot on the operational tempo and security conditions at the time. There are all sort of factors when a ship is at sea.
And that young man is how I know.

Re: Anti-Carrier Trump Card
Thanks to the range of weapons of USN, its escorts do not have to be in the vicinity of the carrier. Perhaps only one will be within the horizon. Most of the ships are deployed tens to hundreds of miles from the carrier. They are positioned along the threat axis ready to intercept the egress of an incoming strike package.
A carrier battle group in close formation that you see in pictures are done for publicity photos. That is not how a carrier battle group operates.

Re: Anti-Carrier Trump Card
SM 2 ER has a range of well above 150 nm.
Latest harpoon has a range of 100 km.
You are again forgeting the range of the carriers plane.
By the ship being further away from the carrier, it can engage a hostile force well before it can threaten the carrier.
