Date: February 23rd, 2025 2:07 AM Author: the walter white of this generation (walt jr.) Is this true? Back in the day there was a CAG who was the O-6 commander of the aviation personnel and the "captain" who was a non-aviator surface guy (also O-6) who usually, IIRC, went from command of a cruiser (usually an O-5) to xo of the carrier (also O-5) before taking command.

You'll never be a Strike Group Commander |

Date: February 23rd, 2025 2:10 AM Author: Mainlining the Secret Truth of the Mahchine (My Mahchine™ = The Great Becumming™ Has Already Run Its $cript) The key difference between the Captain of a U.S. aircraft carrier and the Commander of a Carrier Strike Group (CSG) comes down to scope of authority and operational responsibility:
1. Captain of a U.S. Aircraft Carrier (CVN) Rank: Typically a Navy Captain (O-6). Role: The Commanding Officer (CO) of the aircraft carrier itself. Responsibilities: Responsible for the safe operation, maintenance, and combat readiness of the carrier alone. Oversees the ship’s crew (about 3,000 sailors) and the air wing personnel (about 2,500 sailors). Ensures proper aviation operations (launching and recovering aircraft). Reports directly to the Strike Group Commander for operational matters. 2. Commander of a Carrier Strike Group (CSG) Rank: Typically a Rear Admiral (O-7). Role: The overall commander of the entire Carrier Strike Group, which includes: The aircraft carrier (led by its Captain). Escort ships (destroyers, cruisers, sometimes submarines). A logistics/supply ship. The embarked Carrier Air Wing. Responsibilities: Directs multi-ship operations including air, surface, and subsurface warfare. Leads strategic and tactical combat operations. Coordinates with regional and joint commanders. Exercises command from either the carrier itself or a separate flagship. Hierarchy in a Strike Group The carrier’s captain runs the ship but reports to the Strike Group Commander. The Strike Group Commander directs the entire task force and executes the mission. Analogy: The carrier’s captain is like the manager of an aircraft carrier "city". The Strike Group Commander is like the mayor of an entire region, overseeing multiple "cities" (ships) and how they operate together in battle. |
