It is rare for two carrier strike groups to operate together. The US military has just 11 in total and deploys only a few at a time. While aircraft carriers are familiar to fans of movies like “Top Gun” and “The Hunt for Red October,” their strike groups are less well known.The US will soon have two carrier strike groups posted in the eastern Mediterranean after Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower and its support ships to deploy there.As a rule, aircraft carriers never deploy alone.
Destroyers and cruisers are included in the strike group to keep the carrier safe, as well as launch attacks and defend against incoming strikes on their own.Known colloquially as “small boys,” the accompanying ships carry crews of roughly 350 sailors while still packing hefty firepower.
