Hello everyone,
I've created this thread to explain my Big Battleship Doctrine in a more advanced light concerning tactics.
I'm going to post a combat scenario or two to explain how a modern advanced battleship can or will wage war.
We will use my Exalibur class Advanced Battleship as the example BB.
U.S Navy 21st Fleet (10 ship group)
Fleet:
x1 Nimitz Class Carrier
x2 LCS Class Littoral Attack Craft
x3 DD(X) Class Multimission Destroyers
x2 Exalibur Class Advanced Battleship
x1 Virginia Class Attack Submarine
x1 SeaWolf Class Attack Submarine
AC carries:
x20 F-35 Join Strike Fighters
x36 F/A-18 Super Hornets
Enemy Fleet (15 Ship Group)
Fleet:
x2 Kuznetsof Class Carrier
x4 Mirage Class Patrol Boat
x5 Kirov Class Heavy Missile Cruiser
x2 Type 11540 Frigates
x2 Akula II Class Attack Subamrines
Each AC has:
x16 Mig-29K Fulcrum
x12 Su-27K Flanker
(I'm being VERY generous with this fleet fitting, the Russians only have 2 Kirov class cruisers in service)
Combat Scenario: The Russians work with the Chinese and when the Chinese make a rush for Taiwan Russia takes their side. Russian naval forces move into the North Atlantic and Baltic. Thats where the 2 fleets spec'd above meet.
