data for: the U.S. military will” Nimitz “aircraft carrier

two-carrier battle group to deploy and fire with the Department of Defense:

combat aircraft, first understand a carrier battle group with the Department of Defense to deploy and fire. A two-carrier battle groups, for example, according to the air (AAW), anti-submarine (ASW), attack (STK), anti-ship (ASUW), amphibious warfare (AMW), mine warfare (MIW) and logistical support (LOC) and other seven new operational mode requirements, formation method will be used as follows:
total strength:
2 ship, “Nimitz” class nuclear aircraft carrier, each aircraft carriers, each carrying one or two anti-submarine patrol aircraft brigade (6 frame or 12 S-3B) and one or two anti-submarine helicopter unit (6 or 12 SH-60F);
6 ship “Ticonderoga” class cruisers Da Nang; each containing cruisers 2 SH-60B anti-submarine helicopters,
8 chase, the “Arleigh Burke” class destroyers (I-or type Ⅱ); every destroyers containing 1 or 2 SH-60B anti-submarine helicopters.
4 attack submarines (“Sea Wolf”, “Los Angeles”, “Virginia” class);
2 艘 special ammunition transport vessels and supply vessels

a, the central core:
2 ship,” Niemi hereby “class nuclear aircraft carrier and two special ammunition transport vessels and supply vessels formed the core of the entire fleet, two aircraft carriers parallel to the wind direction in the battle was on the parallel or echelon arrangement, spacing in a chain (185 m) to the 5 chain ( 925 m) between the two supply ships in the rear side of carrier 1 to 5 chain between the chain;
fire with anti-submarine system: the aircraft carrier anti-submarine helicopters are usually contained in the configuration in front of the aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier 11 to 15 sea miles away from the .
with anti-aircraft fire department: 3 “Sea Sparrow” missile defense system the total volume of 72 Beitan, 4 “Phalanx” close combat weapons systems

Second, within the zone defense circles:
formation of four anti-aircraft guided missile cruiser , four destroyers were deployed in the core peripheral ring 8-10 nautical miles, distance between each ship 4 – 5 nautical miles, the ring turned to maneuver the aircraft carrier deployed to ensure that when the formation and stability, the formation of the circle is not to produce air gaps.
with anti-aircraft fire department:
1, in accordance with the high air requirements, configuration, 440 “standard” anti-aircraft missiles (each cruisers 110 anti-aircraft missiles and 12 Tomahawk) to intercept the incoming aircraft and the distance missiles.
2, close to the target about 15 km away from the fleet, you can use about 192 “of NATO Sea Sparrow” missile defense point of about 20 dual-purpose gun Gaoping intercept.
3, last line of defense from about 16 anti-aircraft missile units, “Phalanx” close-in weapons systems and electronic warfare systems RBOC form a “dense array” can be 100 to 200 meters of sea-skimming targets low-end block.

III. outside of the circle within the zone defense is anti-submarine barrier.
4 anti-submarine destroyer (in accordance with a cruiser and three destroyers configuration) was deployed in the semi-Park-shaped formation in front of 20-25 nautical miles from the core purpose is to sneak into the enemy within the zone interception in the use of submarine torpedo weapons distance (20-40 km), the distance between the anti-submarine deep under the conditions in the general temperature of about 15-26 nautical miles.
fire with anti-submarine system:
battle group within the Ge Jian brought in a total of about 220 MK46, MK44 torpedoes and 160 “ASROC” (ASROC) anti-submarine missiles, may within 10 km of enemy submarines attack.
IV and zone defense before the
into high-threat areas or AWACS reported to have a clear direction of the enemy air threat, fleet air defense commanders sent two air defense threat to the direction of the ship along the 20-30 nautical miles as the outer air defense missions, sometimes as fleet air defense command ship.
with anti-aircraft fire department:
1, in accordance with the high air requirements, configuration, 110 “standard” in anti-aircraft missiles to intercept the incoming aircraft and missiles from.
2, close to the target about 15 km away from the fleet, you can use about 48 “NATO Sea Sparrow” missile defense point of about 20 dual-purpose gun Gaoping intercept.
3, last line of defense from about 16 anti-aircraft missile units, “Phalanx” close-in weapons systems and electronic warfare systems RBOC form a “dense array” can be 100 to 200 meters of sea-skimming targets low-end block.

V. zone configuration in anti-submarine aircraft carrier
front of 100 sea miles away from the deployment of two attack submarines, as the formation of anti-submarine front and flank guard or the implementation of regional anti-submarine, 30 sea miles behind the fleet deployed an attack submarine, to prevent the enemy boat chase attacks. Another one attack submarine fleet 3-4 days before the sail cover, arrived early formation will choke or default by the area reconnaissance standby alert, drive submarine combat operations to protect the safety of underwater formations, master route and the standby area on the tactical situation.

VI. outside the zone of air defense and anti-ship configuration
165 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, the F-14, F/A-18, or EA-6B as a combat air patrol (CAP), generally use the two-plane formation, mainly on the air, as broke into the forefront of preparing forces to intercept the enemy. At the same time, F/A-18 both anti-ship missions, ready to meet with the EA-6B aircraft carrier battle groups close to the eradication of small ships of the enemy. Particular types of high-speed missile attack boats;
200-250 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier is usually deployed aircraft E-2C early warning aircraft, 1-2, may apply to the entire fleet air defense and anti-ship weapon system to provide early warning and target designation, and on outside the zone in the zone and all the empty aircraft for command and control, aircraft 325 km away from the office, usually with 1-3 CAP, 2-5 by the F-14 aircraft as air patrols, and its task is to find and destroy the enemy fighters to ensure air superiority; the second is to protect the area against long-range early warning aircraft and air anti-submarine outside the security forces and the third is to eliminate all the invading aerial targets, in particular, attack aircraft and cruise missiles,

seven outside the zone configuration
anti-submarine long-haul fleet anti-submarine missions by the carrier and shore-based S-3B as the P3C, operational distance is usually 350-400 km, P3C greater operational range can be up to 1000 km. The two anti-submarine aircraft are carrying the “Harpoon” anti-ship missile, can double as anti-ship force, while being on patrol in the F-14′s cover.

Analysis:
1, high above the defense for the state of all the two-carrier battle force defense configuration, in addition to ships, the two AWACS aircraft and at least three air defense combat anti-submarine patrol squadron and a combat patrol a total of eight aircraft carrier battle groups and two helicopters involved in defense patrols, patrol formations three times a day according to different rotation basis, a total of 24 carrier-based aircraft and six helicopters for the defense patrols. Each aircraft carrier 20 aircraft set aside for the control of air and air defense penetration operations, in accordance with each ship carrying 90 aircraft carrier basis, dual carrier battle for offensive combat against a total of 116 aircraft, each vessel 58.
2, a high state of air defense analysis, Tomahawk and Standard missiles in accordance with 12:110 ratio configuration is used on land and on the number of cruise ship hit 96;
the outer battle defense analysis group and attack the projection:
E-2C early warning aircraft carrier battle groups in the general configuration in front of about 200 km a side of 22.5 degrees or 250 kilometers in front of a single AWACS aircraft can cover the distance from the inner circle calculated as the front of the 600 km depth of 800 km the positive range, dual front early warning can be configured to cover 600 km in depth, the front range of 1200 km.
early warning aircraft, the most outer core 325 km from the aircraft carrier fleet from the early warning of the CAP away from the edge of circle 275 km from the front of our early-warning aircraft reconnaissance patrol outside edge of that enemy aircraft carrier, I am warning aircraft from the carrier core circle distance 725 km range, the distance from each other early warning aircraft 525 km away from the enemy’s fleet of 675 km before the alert, are direct attacks on enemy aircraft carrier battle groups from the edge of the combat, and there are 125 km is not the enemy early warning aircraft, found a safe distance. I can continue before the early-warning aircraft, 50 kilometers to lock and the enemy patrol formation call blow. Total
I use:
two early warning aircraft, two-plane formation 5, patrols and combat patrols against the enemy;
the first batch of 40-to-ship combat aircraft, each carrying long-range anti-ship four missiles, before the alert to fight the enemy ships;
the first air combat aircraft 100, for control of the air cover operations;
second batch of air combat aircraft 100, for air supremacy covert operations;
deduction and battle damage throughout the war situation analysis:

a: raid patrol
I found the enemy early warning aircraft and the direction of the patrol fleet, I can guide our early-warning aircraft, fighter planes took off, the first of three two-plane formation broke into the battle from three directions, the first after a 125 km away from enemy early warning aircraft 400 km, 275 km away from the enemy patrol formation, according to 1300KM/H aircraft speed and 500 m/s velocity of the missile:
against the enemy , engaged the state six minutes, when both the relative distance of 150KM, each lock can be fired, according to 1:1.5 offensive and defensive damage, our loss of 3, the enemy was wiped out a patrol formation; the enemy to retreat, I patrol the formation of two five an early-warning aircraft continue to patrol and protect the other three formations and early warning aircraft to the enemy onslaught.

II. contractile force attack early warning aircraft such as the enemy retreat
formation waiting for rescue, aircraft carrier before the middle circle is 30 air nautical miles (55 km) of two ships carrying air defense medium-range missiles effective range of 110 kilometers, 165 kilometers thus becomes position of relative safety early warning aircraft, AWACS retreat 85 kilometers for 4 minutes;

Third, the attack before a guard ships
as I fly to the enemy ships before a guard in front of 280 kilometers, in addition to the effective range of the enemy missile launch anti-ship defense missiles, early warning aircraft from being fired discovery to implementation, our plane flight distance of 190 km of total flight time of 9 minutes, according to missile 500 m/s flight speed, the missile flight 9 and a half minutes, before a double-standard 110-ship missile and 48 Sea Sparrow 4:1 ratio of defense, protects against 40 anti-ship missiles.
me a two-ship formation of the four bombs linked to the calculation, five for the formation of one of the 40 missiles which could have ruined its dual front against the ship’s missile defense system, launched after the withdrawal of the battlefield, this time from being found in 9 minutes;
second wave hit after hit in the first wave of half a minute to start, before the formation of the guidelines out of the remaining two ships firing their anti-ship missile, fired after the withdrawal of the battlefield, this time from nine minutes was found and a half minutes;
19 minutes before the guard ships were sunk or damaged.
my first two waves of attacks on troops and fighter I played the first 9 and a half minutes leave the battlefield, this time the flight distance of 670 km, from the AWACS aircraft that I start to reinforce the time of aircraft carriers, according to each carrier calculated take-off four minutes after takeoff distance 100 km away from the enemy can be calculated according to early warning aircraft targeted the enemy’s inner circle to leave the aircraft taking off is 200 km away from my plane is 135 km, the first four aircraft arrived; calculated a carrying four air to air missiles, fired a total of 16, I was released after disturbance 1/2 hit, our loss of eight aircraft, approved formation of this return.

IV. interceptor aircraft against
rest of my return, this time the collusion of the system 100 in the empty war fighter under the guidance of two AWACS base in front of the theater into the I engaged in my Fanglu Ji air defense forces under the coordination of sub-aerial, hollow, low-altitude intercept enemy fighters and combat, as enemy to the core out of the loop before the 700-800 km range, I sent the second batch of 100 aircraft out of the air, as the first fight of the formation of the first roundabout, ready to 500KM at their return only to find it in the tanker fleet to fight, and to block their flight path, so that the fuel consumed in the fight which led to landing failure may occur, if possible, I closely followed by formation of a small amount potential to follow the enemy return, if necessary, to die of the determination of its aircraft for destructive blow.

battle damage Analysis:
1, according to the end of the third step calculated the enemy began to retreat, our loss of eight fighters, launched 160 anti-ship missiles hit an enemy cruiser, destroyer a (temporarily sank to determine an injury ).
2, such as enemy aerial retaliation, while firing Tomahawk missiles to fight for my land-based airports, according to my land-based air defense forces in cooperation with the enemy battle damage and I calculated the proportion of 1:1.5 I 200 aircraft annihilated, destroyed 133 enemy aircraft, failed to crack down on its own aircraft carrier, the enemy fired 100 Tomahawk missiles to carry in my air defense missiles, air defense artillery, and electronic interference block hit rate of a quarter, a total of 25 hit the target, causing me some losses. (This may be little, because when the U.S. fleet of 133 aircraft lost, I will squeeze the Department of the Air Force, outside the range of enemy air defense missile saturation attacks with anti-ship missiles, air defense missiles near the zone 632 and the carrier loading 72 anti-aircraft missiles to intercept according to 4:1, I need to spend $ 20 anti-ship missiles break defense, then left to do is point to kill, and then 100 anti-ship missiles calculation.)
[B ] to modify the program and re-battle damage assessment:
1, launched anti-ship missiles fly fighters, but early-warning aircraft to be away from the core area of ??400 km enemy missile attack guidance, so the first enemy fleet away from the core area should be 280KM to 330KM Department of enemy aircraft carriers 9 and a half to 10 minutes, equal to the enemy early warning aircraft from the discovery of the first 9 minutes to 19 minutes is the time to protect AWACS operations by enemy aircraft carriers per minute off every four flight 200KM enough to launch a range of needs in the long-range combat flying around 9 and a half minutes, from war fighting to withdraw a total of 10 minutes can be put into 80 enemy aircraft to carry out offensive, no ground fire support in both cases, according to my battle with the enemy 2.5:1 exchange loss calculation, want to destroy the enemy before the ship needs to be first, second batch of fighters suddenly before the block, and the need for an additional 100 aircraft in the air with an effective area I second interception;
2, after the enemy fighters destroyed 80 enemy offensive forces consumed more than half, the same will be transferred to defense, military uses the same anti-ship formation saturation attacks break its missile defense system operational, or enemy fighters off, the fleet quickly retreat. And the original is slightly different in the enemy battle damage reduced from 133 to 80.

Based on the above analysis, to achieve this operation, there are several necessary conditions:
First, land-based military combat aircraft within a radius of that airport to the distance of 1000KM carrier within the core area to calculate a warning before the formation of 50 km, and YJ missile a maximum range of 280 kilometers, I can fly in formation 700 to 800KM of fighting within their radius of warning before the formation of the blow, as I strengthen the control and defense of Sai Sha, Sha prepared in front of the tanker aircraft, or war in after aerial refueling support, I can reach the South China Sea manageable radius from the Sea base within 600 to 700KM, as I was able to recover and to defend the Nansha Islands and control, places the Hainan-based base, intermediate base for the Sea Nansha a base for the former can be achieved before a 700KM radius of the Nansha within the control of;
Second, if I can control the base of the Nansha Islands, Sea fleet stationed in enhancing tanker can make Lingshui, Foshan, Guangdong military airport to combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, can carry out in support of air combat over the Nansha Islands, and the enemy aircraft carrier battle group retreated to the Spratly Islands radius of 1000 meters, the aircraft carrier battle group will have its mainland and I lost to combat and control Xisha force.
Third, as the enemy fleet aircraft carrier battle group to change the formation, in front of 30 sea miles before the fleet is not set, then the enemy early warning aircraft and patrol the defensive formation of the same contraction 50KM range in front of nuclear submarines also need to retreat 50KM, use a kinds of defensive posture in the South China Sea blockade, the use of Tomahawk missiles to fight me Nansha and local, as well as the use of long-range strategic bombing of the Chinese mainland to fight. This will evolve into another war mode, we discuss a future article.
