Carrier strike group (CSG) is an operational formation of the United States Navy. It is centered on an aircraft carrier and a carrier air wing of 65 to 70 aircrafts. It’s composed of roughly 7,500 personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least two destroyers and/or frigates. A carrier strike group also, on occasion, includes submarines, attached logistics ships and a supply ship. Carrier strike groups comprise a principal element of U.S. power projection over the world’s oceans
Statistically speaking American carriers should most fear being sunk by the Viet Cong as the last one to sink was 5/27/1957/64 when the USNS Card was sunk by the VC. They should also fear other pirates as the USS Bennington was seized by pirates/students in Sidney on 5/7/1957. As they cost about 28 billion a year to operate Biden has chosen to hire 159,000 armed IRS agents to squeeze the money from struggling taxpayers.
