So again, what more would you require of each group, above and beyond a CVN, a CG, 2 DDs, 2 SSNs, and 75 F-18s? What exactly do you expect them to be matched against? Should the entire US Navy sail together as a single group?

Very good for bombing terrorists and airstrikes against surly regimes.

ASW is almost gone. There are no more S-3 Vikings. FFG's are gone. It's up to MH-60 helicopters.

On paper they are supposed to have an SSN to help with ASW but there are not enough to go around.

F-18's aren't going to help much unless a sub decides to surface...

And some P-8’s, possibly if we’re allowed runways, which I would think Japan and/or ROK would provide.
