Status: offline 		Hi All. I'm looking to update the various ship group imports and wondering if anybody can give me any known ship or carrier group compositions. I've already scoured most mil and photo sites so basic googling etc. covered. Looking for old unclassified stuff, particularly UK, French and Soviet groups If you served in a couple and its ok to post them please do let me know. Thanks!

Thanks

Mike

Status: offline 		BTW you notice how few Kirov was tasked as an escort for Kievs etc.? Kresta's got that role mostly where as the CGNs seem to be the group center. Although this is just anecdotal it seems Western sources wheren't always correct on group compositions.
