Risking the fleet

[icepac]

AH subscribers understand the pain of watching someone take control of the CV and sending it to die over and over with zero benefit.   

Worried that using a fleet as a “show of force” will be a tempting target.

Remove the word tempting and replace it with dumbest thing you could think of.  It wouldn't be dumb enough.

My carrier, the USS Eisenhower, was many times used as a show of force. The carrier is no where as defenceless as the carriers in the game are. US carriers are covered by many layers of defense. Used as a show of force is more than just a carrier. many support ships are also along for the trip.

The stupidity to assume a carrier group is the same as a ficaled group of game players is just ludacris.

Rooks had a total of 48 cvs tonight on the chicken tender map and we used ZERO!

I am all for strategic use of task groups and I know the value of timing your CV plane upping. However, this practice of hoarding and hiding is boring. “But Dad, if we use it someone might kill it and then use it too!” Oh the horror! They respawn, almost everyone knows where they go, crunch all you want, HT makes more… got it? Just play already! 

Also, the few who MUST control boats need to let it go a bit ok… seriously?

Not sure what the defense is for hypersonic missiles these days but I hope our fleet doesn't have to try to figure it out...

Sadly I think a carrier is the ultimate target/prize for our enemies

And I don't think we should be the world's police force but it more like mafia protection...use our dollars, behave and listen to us and we like you or don't and we are your worst enemy

Ya mean like the fleet that fired on Syria? Selective fake concern.

My dad used to teach at the naval war college and I discussed it with him. 

It’s not like he’s a carrier warfare noob with 126 carrier launched missions.

Not sure the Med is any more dangerous than the Persian Gulf.

At the moment I'd say it's safer but let's see how many camel countries follow Hamas example and go berserk. That may change the situation.

The fleet is at risk and complete readiness everywhere it goes.

Russian and Chinese subs are constantly tracking our CVBGs

Ironically, 50.years ago this week my old man was loading nuclear bombs on VA-65 Intruders, pilots were carrying sidearms and the Israelis were doing mock attacks on the 6th fleet off Israel for the Yom Kippur war.

Somethings never change.

[Shuffler]

Our real carriers have many people on board.

[CptTrips]

Doesn't scare me as much as Taiwan Strait.

The fleet was being risked in the Gulf of Tonkin too.
