” 2 carriers aren’t much.”
The operation would involve more than 2 carriers.
But those two CBG would carry 40 F-35s, 50 FA-18s...and ordnance/fuel for at least 30 days.
Then there are the heavy bombers...B-52 and B-1b from wherever. The B-1b can deliver 70,000 lbs per sortie, the b-52 only 58,000lbs.
There would be a bunch of legacy AF fighters doing the precision work after stealth takes out all ability to resist.
Every single shot will have twice the certainty of hitting dead center compared to yesteryear.
Did I mention 300 or so Tomahawks from the Destroyers in the battle group? And if there is a SSGN in the group (likely) that’s another 154 Tomahawks.
I know I wouldn’t want those guys after me, but hey...sounds like you would not fear it.
Hope someone gets film of it great light show indeed.
