Thanks Kushan! Downloaded the pack and used CSG2 with no problems, keep em coming!



PaulWRoberts -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (11/13/2013 11:30:16 AM)

Excellent! This is a great idea. I'd love to have representative battle groups for major nations at various eras.

I do notice that (in the Carl Vinson group, at least) there are F/A-18's on all the escorts.

Thanks, fixed. Download on the first post is updated.



Kushan04 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (12/30/2013 12:46:48 AM)

Updated to now include all 9 of the current strike groups and to the latest database.



Agathosdaimon -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (12/31/2013 9:23:59 AM)

so i put the files in the imports/exports US folder yes?



Gunner98 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (12/31/2013 12:09:16 PM)

I had some issues with importing these files, which are great thanks.

Not sure if it applies to anyone else or if its just something that is happening with me but if you having issues it might help.

Kushan04 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/5/2014 12:33:02 AM)

Updated the files. They should import correctly now. No other changes.



IWS -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/5/2014 1:14:14 AM)

Very nice, thanks Kushan!

I had forgotten how potent US carrier task forces really are - 8-10 Aegis ships, with a Perry to run errands.

And then there's the carrier itself...


Just noticed that none of the escorts have any helos aboard. Is that intended?

You can put them anywhere in the "importexport" folder. If you want to put them under the US folder you can. I personally put them in the main folder.

Thanks IWS. If I can ever find the info I would love to do imports for the Cold War to the 2000's. I have the info for most of the carriers and their attached air wing, but I have not yet found a reliable source for the escorts.

Yea, its intended that the escorts don't have helos. I've been running short of free time to do work and really wanted to get the groups as whole done. At some point when I have more time I will go through and add them.



IWS -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/7/2014 1:51:14 AM)

No worries, no hurry.

What you've already given us is great!



blh42 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/7/2014 6:30:03 PM)

Great stuff! I've also tried to make those up but gave up after one and a half group ;)



Kushan04 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/12/2014 1:58:53 AM)

Updated to Command vB483. Enjoy.

Kushan



gsmith63 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/12/2014 10:48:13 PM)

Be advised that these days a carrier strike group would only deploy with 4-5 escorts - normally 1-2 CGs and 3-4 DDGs. Although carriers normally have a destroyer squadron command assigned to them, which includes an average of eight DDGs and FFGs, the DESRON has other taskings besides carrier support, and some ships are undergoing maintenance periods. Also, it is rare to see FFGs deploying with carriers anymore.

Examples (recent Navy deployment announcements):

trismidt -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/23/2014 2:22:51 AM)

Expect a lot of changes to the strike groups over this next year. Fleet forces command has decided to set strike groups early in the training cycle and deploy with seven or eight escorts. Over the last ten years you were lucky if you deployed with four, they were seldom from the same desron and hardly any of them stayed with the CVN once in FIFTH Fleet. The CVN and a CG was what you usually saw, no one else. That is changing with more focus right now on sea combat against capable foes (read that however you want to). There will be a lot of shifting but by the end of the year it should be pretty stable.



mikeCK -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/28/2014 9:53:40 PM)

Ok, I'm confused. I placed the file where it supposed to go when I create a new scenario is when I am running into problems. Normally if I want to place a ship on the map I simply click on editor then go down to "add unit" go to whatever type of unit I want, select it, and then click on the map and it appears at that location, However with the carrier battle groups I have to click on editor, drop down to "import export" highlight that and then import the carrier battle group. I find it and I selected and it says "successfully imported" but it doesn't appear on the scenario map...so my question is how do I get that successfully imported carrier battle group to appear somewhere on the map?

I don't see anything that allows me to select it and place it off the coast of Iceland or wherever my hypothetical scenarios is whereas with individual ships, I just "add unit", "select unit" and click on the map.



mikmykWS -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/28/2014 11:21:10 PM)

Hi Mike

The importer remembers the last place the group was placed so if I remember that file correctly they'll appear off the US Coasts. You would then select the group and use the m (move) command to move it where you would like.

Thanks!

Mike



mikeCK -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (1/29/2014 9:09:17 PM)

Thanks!...yep! Worked just as advertised. Now to bring those battleground over for an assault on Vladivostok (if I can find that base done) what a game!



RoryAndersonCDT -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (3/15/2014 4:35:49 PM)

Bump!



Kushan04 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (4/26/2014 7:43:52 PM)

Updated to DB3000 B412.



thewood1 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (4/30/2014 10:21:54 AM)

Is B412 to typo? I saw in January it was B486. Did is get downgraded?



Jakob Wedman -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (4/30/2014 12:36:59 PM)

DB3000 B412 NOT EQUAL Command B412

DB3000 B412 were included in Command B517



thewood1 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (4/30/2014 1:39:24 PM)

OK, thanks. I get confused about that all the time.



fguerin35 -> RE: [ImportExport] US Carrier Strike Groups (6/5/2014 1:20:08 PM)

Hi Kushan,

I may help you with French carrier groups, interested?
