Does the wolf pack tactics work for the first-class carrier battle group, and how to break through the layers of defense of the carrier?

Wolf pack tactics can't deal with the main fleet, but only the transport logistics fleet.

A netizen suggested that modern nuclear submarines can use submarine-launched missiles to attack wolves. This method is not worth the loss against the American super carrier battle group.

1. First of all, the anti-submarine distance of American super carrier battle group has reached nearly 1 kilometers, while the range of submarine-launched cruise missiles is less than 5 kilometers, and other aircraft are needed to provide relay guidance (the question is what kind of aircraft can break through the air attack radius of aircraft carrier of 1 kilometers). If a wolf pack is formed, the target will be exposed prematurely, and the anti-submarine aircraft of aircraft carrier battle group will flock to hunt outside the range of submarine-launched missiles.

2. With the development of modern sonar, the sonar detection distance between nuclear submarines and warships and airplanes is very large, so a nuclear submarine will block a wide range (detecting about 2 kilometers). Therefore, nuclear submarines form wolves, which reduces the efficiency of nuclear submarines. When everyone is crowded together, it is not only easy to accidentally injure, but also easy to expose the target.

3. The submarine is a pure offensive weapon, and it has almost no defensive ability. After forming a wolf pack by stealth, the collective position will be exposed in front of the powerful sonar detection of the aircraft carrier battle group, and anti-submarine aircraft will flock to it.

Second, introduce the underwater protection of American aircraft carriers:

Take the formation of American typical actual combat aircraft carrier battle group as an example (that is, dual aircraft carrier battle group).

1. Underwater protection and attack power

1. Firstly, the carrier battle group is equipped with 2-4 powerful attack nuclear submarines (such as Los Angeles or Virginia, Sea Wolf) according to different threats. Generally, 3-4 days before the carrier battle group arrives in the war zone, an attack nuclear submarine will be dispatched to the war zone to drive the enemy underwater or block the throat, and the submarine's combat range can reach 1 nautical miles ×1 nautical miles (1 nautical mile = about 1.85 kilometers)

2. The other two attack nuclear submarines are deployed on the two wings of the battle group 1 -185 nautical miles away from the core of the carrier battle group (threat direction), and then leapfrog tactics are adopted.

3. The last ship is located at the back of the core of the carrier battle group, 3 nautical miles (about 6 kilometers) to prevent enemy submarines from rear-end attack

2. Underwater protection and attack by air power.

1. The United States has a global base, so P-3 "Orion anti-submarine usually takes off from the nearest base in cooperation with the aircraft carrier battle group, with a combat radius of more than 1, kilometers, leaving it blank for 12 hours. This is the first floor.

2. deploy S-3B anti-submarine aircraft (there are 12 aircraft in the whole aircraft carrier battle group) 4km away from the core of the aircraft carrier (threat direction), and the operational radius of the second aircraft is 6km.

3. Anti-submarine helicopters, various anti-submarine helicopters and destroyers and cruisers, such as SH-6 and s-3, have a combat radius of hundreds of kilometers.

3. Underwater protection of surface ships

7-8 Aegis warships are deployed 8-1 nautical miles (1 nautical mile =1.85 kilometers) around the carrier, and the annular protection is beneficial to the turning of the battle group. Four anti-submarine (destroyers, frigates) are in a semicircle 2-25 nautical miles in front of the formation core, with the aim of intercepting the other submarine out of the torpedo range. The distance between the ships responsible for anti-submarine is 1.5-1.75 times greater than the detection distance of active sonar, that is to say, it is generally (15-26 nautical miles)

to enter the high-threat area, and 2-3 nautical miles ahead along the threat direction, and 1-2 Aegis warships (Aegis).

Summary: The American carrier battle group has a strong early underwater detection capability

During the Cold War, the United States deployed a large number of sonar monitoring base stations in major waterways to monitor various underwater submarines. In addition, some nuclear submarines that do not belong to the carrier battle group will be deployed off the coast of hostile countries for a long time to play the role of goalkeepers. When the enemy nuclear submarines go out to sea, they will lurk in the enemy's offshore to carry out "man-to-man tracking", and this information and the carrier battle group * * *.

2. Nuclear submarines that arrive in the war zone three days in advance can provide underwater enemy information and can get the cooperation of P-3 (with a radius of 1 kilometers).

3. Therefore, wolves will expose their whereabouts and attract a large number of anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine warships to attack.

So only submarines can't seize the sea power, and the carrier battle group is the key to the sea power.
