Topic: Task Force 77


  
  Task Force 77 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Task Force 77 is an aircraft carrier task force in the United States Navy, and was the Carrier Strike Force of the U.S. Seventh Fleet in several conflicts.
Task Force 77 performed a number of combat deployments, beginning with its mission in the Korean War, where it provided air support and performed interdiction missions as part of the United Nations forces.
Task Force 77 had carrier stations in both the Sea of Japan (East Coast Task Force) and the Yellow Sea (West Coast Task Force, designated Task Force 95), the latter consisting of carriers of the Royal Navy, Royal Australian Navy, and USN escort carriers due to its proximity to the People's Republic of China.

 Task Force
The task organization is predicated on the mission by a war plan or an operational plan of a commander of a unified command, and as further delineated by the fleet commander-in-chief (naval component commander) and the numbered fleet commander.
Designations for Task Forces subordinated to the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets generally follow this pattern, though the naive observer might conclude that these designations referred to units of the non-existent 1st Fleet [used for Pacific Fleet] and the equally non-existent 4th and 8th Fleets [used for the Atlantic Fleet].
For major combat formations, the Task Force in the operational chain of command is equivalent to the Group in the administrative chain of command.
