Subject: Build your Own CBG
Jack Tarr    8/23/2007 3:05:25 PM
OK, lately there have been a few topics on the British, French, US Navies which seem to pit these apparently allied navies against each other in a "who's got the biggest stick" competition.(which is all rather silly and pointless, we are supposed to be allies/partners after all) In an effort to see how cooperative we can be instead, I thought it would be interesting to see what you guys can come up with for a force mix for an allied (RN, French {MN?}, USN) CBG? E.G Centered around the CDG, is a Ticonderoga, an Arleigh Burke, a Type 42, a Type 23, a La Fayette, and a Trafalgar SSN. There must be at least one vessel from each participating country. (and don't all just go for a Nimitz at the centre...let's be creative folks!) Try to look at the strengths each navy/vessel can be add to your CBG.(rather than just taking the pi$$ out of each other) I know there are lots of variables like "what's the mission" but this is just meant as a bit of fun, so go crazy with what CBG you would send for a specific mission. Later, we can maybe look at an all Euro CBG, or a Five Power GBG? (otherwise the aussies will feel left out ;-) )

Commonwealth  fleet...

 
mate that is a comms nightmare you have listed...
Personally I wouldn't touch Viraat with a 10ft pole - and I'd be avoiding the Laugh-it-ups. Delhis, Project 17's and Upholders (Victorias) as well.
