I am convinced a CSG with an air wing of jets with a 3700 km combat radius can be a powerful persistent force, controlling 32 million square kilometers (a sixteenth of Earth’s surface).

3700km combat radius???. What value is that when the longest range ISTAR capability organic to the fleet is the couple of hundred miles an E-2 can peer from patrol altitude?.

How long is it going to take a laden subsonic striker to chug out even 1850kms….offload….and get back aboard?. How many aircraft are you going to need to embark keep sortie rates up if planes are out half the day on a single mission?.

No need whatsoever for anything with that kind of radius of action. You need 500 miles out and 500 back at most and decent sortie rates inside that radial. Land attack missiles for anything longer.
