They’re there to provide air search / air defense for the carrier.īut don’t take my word for it, here’s what the US Navy site has to say ( ): Those could be either cruisers (Tico class) or destoyers (Arleigh Burke class). Depending on the situation, a CVBG might be augmented once on scene with minesweeps or PC vessels, but it is not common for those to cruise around with the CV.Īlso, there’s pretty much always at least 2 Aegis ships in the CVBG. That sounds about right, except for the “whole mess of smaller boats.” No smaller vessels could hang with a CVBG in terms of speed, range, or seaworthiness to get anywhere. Regarding the various missions of Cruisers vs Destroyers vs Frigates, etc, is there someplace I can find concise mission-objective-based definitions of what they’re supposed to be designed for? Also, the AI basically refuses to use nukes, even if you invade a country with the bomb. I do get nukes, but using them is dangerous. If I wish to, I can retire vessels or other units, and my maintenance costs will decrease accordingly.

Superpower allows full control of land and air units as well. Fun stuff!ĭoes Superpower give you good control over land and air units, as well? Do you get nukes? I am pretty anal about that stuff too, as witnessed by my building ‘real’ fleets in Masters of Orion III. Not that ‘Cruiser’ and ‘Destroyer’ are meaningful distinctions in the modern Navy. Also, and I don’t have the game so I don’t know the various limitations, but we are also starting to decommision the older Ticonderoga-cruisers, as the newer (and more efficient) Arleigh Burke-class Destroyers come online. I don’t believe that we deploy frigates (Oliver Hazard Perry-class) with our CVBGs anymore, as we are in the process of ripping the missle launch systems out of them and using the frigates as ‘uber-patrol boats’.
