How many 055s do our aircraft carrier battle groups need to form a perfect combination?

The minimum is 2 anti-aircraft plus 2 anti-submarine, so at least 2 055 are needed.

Of course, the larger the escort fleet, the better, and generally the most comfortable is 4 anti-aircraft and 4 anti-submarine, which is a more luxurious configuration.

With the number of the first batch of 055, it can not only be equipped with sufficient escort for the Shandong ship, but also part of it can be distributed to Liaoning.

At present, there is no clear answer to how many 055 destroyers are needed for China's aircraft carrier formation to form a perfect combination. However, according to the actual response capabilities and needs of the aircraft carrier battle group, it is generally recommended to equip at least two Type 055 destroyers to provide better combat support and air defense capabilities. At the same time, according to the number of existing aircraft carriers in our country and the size of the fleet, it is also necessary to appropriately increase the number of Type 055 destroyers.

This is a difficult question to give a definite answer to, because the perfect combination depends on many factors, such as the mission of the carrier battle group, the environment, the strength of the enemy, and so on. But in general, an aircraft carrier battle group needs at least one Type 055 destroyer to provide strong anti-aircraft and anti-submarine capabilities, as well as provide effective combat cover for the carrier. At the same time, if the carrier battle group is going to conduct ocean-going operations, more Type 055 destroyers may be needed to provide escort and support.

Referring to the configuration of the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group, at least 4 055 destroyers, 2 054A frigates, as well as 2 attack nuclear submarines and 2 supply ships are required.

I can't give exact numbers and answers. However, generally speaking, an aircraft carrier battle group needs to include a variety of ships such as frigates, destroyers, cruisers, etc., to form a complete combination, and it also needs to have a supporting combat system. The Type 055 destroyer, China's latest multi-purpose missile destroyer, has strong defense and attack capabilities, and can provide important support and protection for aircraft carriers.

Therefore, the rational configuration of Type 055 destroyers is very important for the perfect combination of aircraft carrier battle groups, but the specific number needs to be determined in combination with various factors.

1. Aircraft carriers: 1-3 ships.

One to three aircraft carriers. Aircraft carriers allow aircraft to use airports, waterways, and airspace in other countries without worrying about the problem. Aircraft carriers can also provide long-term support for other forces.

But the aircraft carrier is not the flagship of the fleet, and in the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group, the flagship is the Ticonderoga-class cruiser.

2. Cruisers: 1-2 ships.

One or two missile cruisers. It is currently held on Ticonderoga-class cruisers equipped with the Aegis system. As the escort center of the aircraft carrier battle group, the cruiser provides a variety of combat capabilities such as air defense, anti-ship and anti-submarine, and is also the flagship of the entire aircraft carrier battle group.

There are also Tomahawk cruise missiles on board, which have the ability to strike ground targets at long ranges.

3. Destroyers: 2-3 ships.

Two or three missile destroyers. It is an Ali Burke-class guided missile destroyer in active service, which also uses the Aegis system. These destroyers assist the cruisers in the fleet to extend the range of the defense ring and are used for anti-aircraft, anti-submarine and anti-ship operations.

4. Frigates: 1.

A frigate. It is a Perry-class missile frigate in active service. The frigates of this class have now been fully decommissioned.

5. Submarines: 1-2 units.

One or two attack submarines. In active service are Los Angeles-class submarines. It is used to support the fleet's vigilance and combat against surface or underwater targets. It can also use its submarine-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles against land targets.

6. Supply ships: 1-3 ships.

One to three supply ships.

The above is the composition of the ships of the US aircraft carrier battle group.

Today, the attack and defense capabilities of a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group are complex. Roughly speaking, aircraft carrier-delivered fighters, attack aircraft, AWACS, anti-submarine aircraft or *** are used to attack, defend or search for the enemy hundreds of kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. Other combat ships have the primary task of protecting the operational safety of aircraft carriers.

The US "Nimitz"-class aircraft carrier formation generally consists of one aircraft carrier, two or three air defense cruisers or destroyers, two or three anti-submarine destroyers, one or two attack nuclear submarines, and one or two logistics support ships.

In general, there are 6 classes of ships.

1. Aircraft carriers: The US Navy generally has 1-3 aircraft carriers in an aircraft carrier battle group, and aircraft carriers can also provide long-term support for other forces.

2. Cruisers, generally with 1-2 missile cruisers, Ticonderoga-class cruisers equipped with the Aegis system, as the escort center of the aircraft carrier battle group, providing air defense, anti-ship and anti-submarine and other combat capabilities, but also the flagship of the entire aircraft carrier battle group.

3. Destroyers, there are generally 2-3 missile destroyers in an aircraft carrier battle group, and the destroyers assist the cruisers in the fleet to expand the range of the defense circle, and are used for air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship operations at the same time.

4. Frigates, there is generally one frigate in an aircraft carrier battle group, which is used for air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship operations.

5. Submarines, there are generally 1-2 attack submarines in an aircraft carrier battle group, which are used to support the fleet's vigilance and operations against surface or underwater targets. It can also use its submarine-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles against land targets.

6. Supply ships, there are generally 1-3 supply ships in an aircraft carrier battle group, which are used to provide fuel, aviation fuel, ammunition, food, spare parts and other supplies to the aircraft carrier battle formation and ships for normal duty, and are specially used to help teammates in battle.

Take the US aircraft carriers, for example, one aircraft carrier, 2-3 air defense ships (Ticonderoga cruiser, Burke-class destroyer), a nuclear submarine, a fast combat support ship.
