How long will it take China to form an aircraft carrier battle group?

Fujian ship has been outfitted, but it seems that there is still no news of our specific aircraft carrier battle group for more than ten years. It's not like the United States has 1 1 aircraft carrier strike battle group. It seems that we don't have a fixed aircraft carrier battle group establishment. Is it that we can't form a strike ability?

First of all, understand what is an aircraft carrier battle group or an aircraft carrier strike group.

The earliest aircraft carrier strike group actually appeared in imperial japanese navy. You think it is right that during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in World War II, a powerful fleet was dispatched, including: 6 aircraft carriers, 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, 9 destroyers, 23 submarines and 5 pocket submarines. The fleet carried 4 14 aircraft.

The main structure of the joint fleet that attacked Pearl Harbor: Task Force: Air Strike Force: First Air Squadron ((AV) Chicheng, (AV) Kaga); Second Air Squadron ((AV) Black Dragon, (AV) Dragonfly); Fifth Air Squadron ((AV) Ruihe, (AV) Shoukaku).

Alert Squadron: 1 Torpedo Squadron: (CL) A Wuyong, 17 destroyer fleet ((DD) Gu Feng, (DD) Pu Feng, (DD) Feng Bin, (DD) Ji Feng).

18 destroyer fleet: (DD) Yang Yan, (DD) Ignorant Fire, (DD) Summer, (DD) Alaret.

(DD) Autumn clouds.

Support troops: Third Squadron ((BB) Bi Rui, (BB) Kirishima).

Eighth Fleet: ((CA) sound, (CA) bamboo horse).

Patrol units: (SS) 19, (SS)2 1, (SS)23).

Supply troops: First Supply Fleet ((ARO) Jidu Pill, (ARO) Yangyan Pill, (ARO) Yang Guo Pill and (ARO) Guo Xin Pill).

Second supply fleet: ((ARO) Dong Bang Maru, (ARO) Toyo Maru, (ARO) Japanese Maru).

Advance team: (SS) Iraq/KOOC-0/6, (SS) Iraq/KOOC-0/8, (SS) Iraq 20, (SS) Iraq 22, (SS) Iraq 24, Special Operations Team (Mini Submarine X5).

Only six aircraft carriers actually carried out operations in this air raid, and alert squadrons were distributed around the aircraft carriers to carry out air defense and anti-submarine missions. Battleships and heavy cruisers in the support forces are ready to attack the enemy fleet suddenly encountered at any time (in fact, playing soy sauce when attacking Pearl Harbor); The patrol is actually a submarine. They set out ahead of time and monitor the water surface from different directions. The supply ship followed the position not far from the aircraft carrier to replenish the oil on the aircraft carrier. This time is very interesting. Both supply squadrons sent tankers. The advance team consists of micro submarines, which are responsible for sneaking into Pearl Harbor to get the last wave of information before the attack. In the information released by Japan, the advance team sent five mini submarines, and only 1 came back.

After the attack, Hasben Chimel, commander of the US Pacific Fleet, commented on imperial japanese navy's arrangement in this way: It must be said that the air raid was a well-planned and well-executed operation. Unfortunately, I have to admit that they won. Once they started, they did great things. -Hasben Chimel, former commander of the Pacific Fleet.

It is precisely because the US military suffered from the attack of the aircraft carrier battle group in World War II that it began to gradually build its own aircraft carrier battle group after World War II. In fact, internationally, the aircraft carrier battle group of the United States and World War II is a very special and special form of fleet organization. Its purpose is to attack the enemy from a distance.

Especially during World War II, in fact, there was no aircraft carrier battle group in the United States, and the real aircraft carrier battle group was not organized in the Battle of Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway. Most of the time, an aircraft carrier and two escort destroyers perform tasks together. Until the end of 1944, the United States produced a large number of aircraft carriers, and the 38th Fast Aircraft Carrier Task Force appeared, initially forming the embryonic form of aircraft carriers attacking the group aircraft carriers.

The term "aircraft carrier battle group" is actually a recent event, which has been clearly explained in the latest US Navy operational outline in 2004. The name of the so-called "aircraft carrier battle group" is actually quite folk, and the US military has not used it as a term. Later, when summing up the historical tactics, the US Navy only quoted the aircraft carrier-centered combat mode that began in the 1990s. In 2004, the US Navy's operational plan defined four operational modes of the US Navy, including:

1. Aircraft carrier strike group;

2. Expeditionary strike group;

3. Battleship battle group;

4. Surface Action Group;

This is a fleet action framework of different levels organized according to different situations. What is particularly interesting is that the word Group has different meanings in English, such as "group", "group" and "group" in Chinese. In Chinese, we will classify polymers in different grades. The most correct explanation for groups is called "groups", and there is no division of size and grade. This is also the reason why some US surface action teams only send two patrol boats.

Therefore, "carrier battle group" or "carrier strike group" is only an organizational form of naval vessels, not an established naval combat unit. Why does the United States keep 1 1 carrier battle group? The reason is also very simple-you still have to do it after fighting for several years.

As for other countries, as long as the accompanying ship can meet the basic tasks of air defense, anti-ship, anti-submarine, underwater combat and replenishment during the operation of the aircraft carrier, in fact, the US military will regard it as an aircraft carrier battle group. If we look at the structure of imperial japanese navy's attack on Pearl Harbor, will we understand what a typical aircraft carrier battle group looks like?

France and Britain, two allies of the United States, also have aircraft carrier battle "groups". For example, when the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth is dispatched, it is usually configured like this:

1 queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier; Two Type 45 destroyers; 1 Alli Burke class destroyer (belonging to the US Navy); Two Type 23 patrol ships; 1 seven provincial patrol ship (under the Royal Dutch Navy); 1 intelligent nuclear submarine; 1 Victoria class supply ship; 1-2 tidal fleet tanker;

It also includes the accompanying warships of the United States and the Netherlands, but with the Queen Elizabeth as the operational core, it is also known as the "carrier strike group number".

France is more interesting. When Charles de Gaulle appeared, the usual lineup was:

1 aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle;

1 ruby class attack nuclear submarine;

2 anti-submarine destroyers;

2 air defense destroyers;

1 stealth patrol boat patrols ahead;

1 supply ship (Durance class tanker);

Let's call it an aircraft carrier battle group. In fact, it depends on the nature rather than the scale.

Chinese aircraft carrier battle group: the nature is the same. Many foreign media have reported on the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group for a long time.

In fact, the Chinese aircraft carrier battle group has existed for a long time, and its configuration is no worse than that of the US military. It's just that our photographers always take our aircraft carrier as Liao Yu 16 or Lu Yu 17, which leads to too little exposure of our battle group.

But then again, is the carrier battle group still effective in modern warfare?

In fact, the naval academic circle is controversial about the survivability of aircraft carrier battle group in the 2 1 century naval battle. Supporters believe that the carrier battle group provides unparalleled firepower and power projection capabilities. Opponents believe that the carrier battle group is increasingly vulnerable to the attack of arsenal ships and cruise missiles, especially those ships capable of launching supersonic or even hypersonic flights. It is also worth noting that the aircraft carrier battle group itself is designed for the cold war scene and is of little use in establishing control over coastal areas.

In addition, it turns out that the carrier battle group is vulnerable to the attack of diesel-electric submarines owned by many small naval forces. For example, the German U24 with conventional power took a close-up photo of an American aircraft carrier in the 200 1 JTFEX 0 1-2 exercise in the Caribbean.

Five years later, in the JTFEX 06-2 exercise in 2006, Gothland, Sweden "sank" the American Enterprise. Sweden's conventional power submarine broke through the defense measures of the seventh aircraft carrier strike group and was not found. Several photos of the Reagan aircraft carrier were taken.
