Many Americans want a WWIII so as to " end" the world, to fulfull the silly prophecy in the Bible Book. 😄 💲USA will ask Germany to begin such a war with Russia, since Germany had 💥 great experience fighting in WWI 🇯🇵 USA will ask Japan simultaneously, to begin such a war with China, since Japan had great 💥 experience fighting in WWII. In such a nuclear war, millions of Americans, Russians, Britons , Japanese, Germans and Chinese shall lose their lives.

@R No other country on planet earth is able to send a carrier strike group around the world other than the US. China cant, India cant and the French cant as their carrier is singular and is in dry docks more than it is at sea. So by default, we are a true naval power as there are 196 countries in the world, and we are only 1 of 2 that can do what we have just done, and that it project power across the world. Take away allies, we could send a carrier, 2 type 45 and 4 type 23 along with 3 supply vessels and an Astute class submarine, along with a royal marine led amphibious assault group consisting of an albion classs LPD, and 2 bay class LSD and RFA Argus. That's NOW.... in 10 years time when we have type 26's and type 31's and at least 72 F35B's (government has confirmed this) we will be even stronger. To say we are not a naval power after this is a bit silly.

@Brett Mitchell Only four of those ships are actually RN vessels. Let's say they were; three T45s and three T23s. A T45 has 48 VLS tubes and CAN carry 8 obsolete Harpoons (neither of the ships in the current deployment has them, though one has provision to). A T23 has one 32 cell VLS for self defence Sea Ceptor only. A US CSG has between three and five support ships comprising 1-2 Cruisers and 2-3 destroyers. The Ticonderoga cruiser carries 2 61-cell VLS launchers plus eight Harpoon. An Arleigh-Burke destroyer has either a 90 or 96 cell VLS system and may carry two Harpoon. Fully kitted a UK CSG would field 48 Harpoon (doubtful we still have that many launchers), 144 full VLS tubes and 96 self-defence VLS tubes. The smallest US CSG could field 12 Harpoon and 300 full VLS tubes. That's without factoring in the carriers, where a US CSG has E2-C Hawkeye AEW aircraft and does not rely on helicopter to spot incoming threats!

as a brit myself i agree that comment wasnt needed

[@cameronspence4977]

Interesting to think about that, actually. So normally, the UK's CSGs are going to be similar to US CSGs minus the cruiser which the UK doesnt have. So normally, a UK carrier strike group would be "weaker" than a US CSG- except that this particular UK CSG is significantly augmented with allied ships: the carrier plus 2 UK destroyers, and 1 more powerful US destroyer, + 1 frigate each from Aus, UK and Netherlands, plus the sub and supply ship. So 1 US destroyer and 2 UK ones plus 3 frigates, vs what the minimum the US rolls with: a cruiser and only 2 destroyers (but realistically in an actual war this number would be doubled at minimum if theyre smart...) anyway, same number of 1 carrier and supply ship, so basically as long as we say both CSGs have only 1 attack sub, its 3 very powerful ships vs 3 average strength, 2 above average and one very powerful ship: I give it to this UK strike group, so yes this statement is theoretically true. While it is unknown how many submarines a US CSG actually has (traditionally they will usually have one ANNOUNCED), its easily possible and would be smart for all US CSGs to have at LEAST 2 attack subs with them at all times considering how big a target they are. But considering just whats unclassified that we know, yeah Id say that statement is actually true
