Good Modern US Carrier Battle Group Scenarios

[duelok11]

Hi, I'm looking for your recommended scenarios which focus on modern us carrier battle group. I already played a lot of Yankee Team scenario these past few days and I just want a look at the potential and ability of modern carrier battlegroups in comparison to the former. Thanks in advance!

could try the Kola Peninsula floating around the steam workshop for CMANO, that was a solid one. Remake of the Grand Campaign for Jane's F/A-18E

I used to love that Campaign. I looked for Kola Peninsula and couldn't find in on steam or in game? Is it under another name?

[VFA41_Lion]

yeah my bad, its under Russian Civil War (3 scenarios for each phase)

[LMychajluk]

Try Operation Sapphire Fury and Operation Brass Drum.

I agree on Operation Brass Drum. It has a little bit of everything, plus multiple carriers.

[duelok11]

Thank you for the suggestions will try them all later

[Airborne Rifles]

Air-Sea Battle and Hail Mary in the Chains of War DLC let you play with modern US CVBGs as well.

I'll first try CoW from the beginning to avoid spoiling myself.

A note on semantics here, only because I've done a fair bit of reading on the subject and am in the midst of picking a bunch of nits on another subject...:

The USN stopped using the term and the doctrine of a CVBG in the early 90's, so when you say a 'modern CVBG' I would date that as a late 1980's early 1990's formation.

Since that point they've been using the CSG (Carrier strike Group) concept. I suppose in reality there isn't much difference except size, they don't need to be as well protected as they used to.

CVBG= 1 or possibly 2 CV/CVN, possibly a BB, up to 3 CG/CGN, up to 4 ASW ships (DD/DDG/FF/FFG) and an AO(R)
CSG= 1 CVN, 1 CG, 2-4 DDG - the AO(R) is detached and independent, no more BB, CGN, DD, FF or FFGs to be had.

From and AD & ASuW perspective even with fewer ships the CSG is probably more powerful but from an ASW perspective there are more gaps and higher risk I think. The AO(R)s travel unescorted these days which was the job of the FF in the CVBG days.
