A Carrier Battle Group is a naval formation centered around an aircraft carrier, which serves as the flagship. This group typically includes various support ships, such as destroyers, cruisers, and submarines, all working together to provide air, surface, and underwater defense. The aircraft carrier allows for the launch and recovery of aircraft, enabling power projection and rapid response to threats. The primary purpose of a Carrier Battle Group is to maintain maritime security and support military operations. It can operate independently or as part of a larger naval fleet, providing a versatile platform for conducting missions ranging from humanitarian assistance to combat operations.
