Situations where it would be a purely RN affair and have no input from the RAF are extremely limited - 1.
E.g five frigates participated in Joint Warrior exercises last year IIRC, if they would have been needed, those 5 could have formed the task group.įor peacetime/excursions like Libya or Syria, when combined with RAF assets it will more than adequate. They would not jam their fingers in their ears and not contribute.Īs such, any composition in a hot war scenario is debatable because it'd be dependent on the situation at the time. If the Gulf got hot, the assets in place in the Gulf would become part of any RN involvement including destroyers, frigates, tankers etc. One is far more destabilising than the other. As is the idea of say a Type 45 patrolling the Gulf and something flares up, that extra Type 45 - effectively - becomes part of the task group as any major conflict in the Gulf takes precedent over piracy patrols. In '82, Lustys work up was the voyage to the South Atlantic as an example. This is a stupid assumption.Īny ship doing training or work up would be pulled up to form a super task group in the event of a state-on-state conflict. People like taking snapshots of ships locations/deployments etc and take the ones which are sat in port doing nothing to be the available escorts. That's a thing, considering how mixed these carriers are supposed to be, I hope the RN gets used to keeping marinised aircraft on the deck unless maintenance is required. I like Apache, incorporating them into the air group keeps the F-35B from *needing* to do CAS for a good chunk of scenarios. Find high-quality stock photos that you wont find anywhere else. A current AAC squadron consists of 8 aircraft, considering availability that probably results in 6 Apaches ready to go.

Also there's no guarantee that any of the accompanying frigates will have a towed sonar array, statistically it's favourable 8/5, but there could easily be only one. In a RFTG configuration, add in an LPD, LSD & RoRo. That's not to say I think there shouldn't be one, there absolutely *must* be one at least. We've seen the RFTG deploy for the last 3 years (I think) with a pair of frigates without a Type 45 in site.
