Former Navy here: First we use CBG’s all the time. In EVERY major battle in the Middle East, we have had a Carrier battle group directing the fight. IIRC they have the carrier, around 6-8 destroyers, 2-4 Cruisers, at least one sneaky ass submarine then a royal fuckton of aircraft, such as the F-18, E2C Hawkey, EA-6B…
