CBG WWIII tactics

Given a WWIII scenario. Your out in a hot area with a carrier battle
group. ICBM's are detected and an nuclear exchange is in progress.
(not in your immediate area) What would be the immediate tactics a group
would do?

Since odds are the carrier might soon be disabled or vaporized, do you
get every air asset in the air ASAP in a use it or lose it situation?
Or do you have everything on standby fueled, armed and ready to launch?
Do you group the ships closer together or use more separation?

What percentage of a modern carriers planes are normally ready to go?
How long would it take to get every flyable plane off the deck?
With a normal airborne tanker complement, how many planes could you keep
in the air as long as possible?


What tactics and weapons would then be used against any possible enemies
either in the air, water, or underwater? Do U.S. fast attack subs
normally cruise with a carrier battle group?
