	Carrier battle group
		The need for a battle group is due to the fact that while the aircraft carrier has the ability to project a large amount of air power, it is vulnerable to attack from other surface ships and submarines.
		The attempted use of anti-ship missiles against a carrier group was part of Argentina's efforts against Britain in the Falklands War.
		There is debate in naval warfare circles as to the viability of carrier battle groups in 21st century naval warfare.

		NARRATOR: The submarine is penetrating the Battle Group's defenses.

	The Carrier Myth
		Moreover, because the carriers were expected to face attack from waves of Soviet Backfire bombers and cruise missiles, the Navy embarked on a buildup of Ticonderoga-class Aegis air defense cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers to handle airborne threats.
		A carrier's ability to project sustained firepower depended on generating numerous sorties, and claims for high sortie rates are key to the carrier myth.
		Carrier strike aircraft may be free to operate from a deck in international waters, but they depend on land-based support to reach maximum combat effectiveness.

	Brief: Summer 2001 The Hook magazine
		Carrier Battle Groups (CVBGs) operating as they do from the sea provide “crisis agility.” Carriers can conduct strikes and revisit targets and maintain operational security from a sovereign “mobile airfield.” Carrier-based aircraft are not limited by host-nation political constraints.
		Of the 56 carrier battle group deployments conducted during the 1990s either from the U.S. or out-of-area deployments by the Japan-based carrier, 45 (80 percent) involved combat or close-to-combat situations such as enforcing No Fly Zones, strikes and shows of force.
		While the carrier battle group continues to revolutionize both its lethality and its survivability, the U.S. military continues to operate in areas of the world that are best accessible from the sea.

		A group of Carriers are the ultimate Siege Weapon, utilizing Interceptors to lay waste to anything in the air or ground.
		If Carriers are group selected and given that kind of command, the pause can come at the same time for all the Carriers leaving a much larger window for your opponent to use against you.
		The Carrier attack range (the maximum distance the Interceptors can fly from the Carrier) of 8 is better than most units and as long as the Interceptors can reach a given target/enemy presence, there's no need to put the Carrier in any jeopardy.
