We are not talking about the conquest of central Europe by by the Third Shock Army, but a limited scenario as outlined in the
Fire and Ice
paper. You can see that carriers groups are important in all the scenarios outlined, securing sea lines of communication, defending NATO points of vulnerability, dealing with the Russian bastion.. Note that the recommendations include that for deterrence, NATO should
e
stablish routine exercises to rehearse the escorting of military convoys across the Atlantic
and that it should
ensure at least one exercise centred upon a minimum of one US or UK fleet carrier takes place in NATO’s northern region per year
, and rehearse the integration of northern European NATO navy escort vessels into larger US and UK-led task groups.
