Would a large mix of British, American, Danish, Dutch, Australian, and Indian ships immediately form an effective carrier task group?
Short answerThe force could be assembled, but integrating it would require more exercises and shared communications equipment. Australian, Danish, and American ships could join more quickly.
NotesThe proposed collection of ships is an ambition that would require more work before becoming a viable task group. More joint exercises and shared communications equipment would be needed. Australian, Danish, and American ships could be integrated comparatively quickly. Indian participation is uncertain, and India could bring its own aircraft carrier, creating a pair of task groups.
