I'm trying to build a scenario in which a carrier formation has to stop another carrier formation. but I do not know what's carrier formation. Does anybody has some literacy about how carrier groups are constituted in the US, the british royal navy, the French National Navy, USSR (or Russia) and China? I also need some schemes/drawing/pictures to understand how the ship are placed to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier. I would like to make something realistic, at least plausible.

Based on what i've picked up over the years, though I'm sure there are some Naval Vets around who can dive deeper. U.S. 1 or 2 SSN 1-2 Cruisers a Destroyer Squadron of 2-3 Burke's A combined ammunition, oiler and supply ship

Have a read amongst this lot, you probably won't find your answer, but you might do, but there's enough reading material to take your mind off what you want to know for a while:- http://www.history.navy.mil/library/online/readingroom.htm

Here are a few links I have found on the subject... The Carrier Strike Group Carrier Strike Group Carrier Group Tactics I think you should be able to extrapolate from the descriptions how these groups are formed and work, at least US ones. I don't think any other country actually use standardized carrier groups in the same way.

Here are some discussions on the subject: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3631809 http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3636652 http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3661302 Scottb613: I think that your CVBG composition is good except for the Knox class FF's. Yes they did join CVBG's but their speed was a hindrance, generally they would only be with the CVBG when the AO/AOR was within the group, when that ship left the group the FF would escort it. I would replace your 3x Knox class with one FFG. If the AO/AOR is in the group add a Knox. There are probably dozens of examples where this can be proven wrong but from what I've read on the subject the Knox was used for everything but actual CV escort, even if it was part of the DESRON which had the task.

If your looking for current carrier strike groups I have put together the 2013 groups as an import. Carrier Strike Group Imports Currently working on doing imports for the current strike groups since a few have changed this year.
