roball- I was wondering how alert a carrier is during a normal peacetime
cruise Do they constantly have early warning aircraft aloft? If something untoward happens how long would it take to be fully battle ready? BRBR We stood alert all the time when at sea, normally alert 15 but sometimes alert 5(airborne in that time frame). Ship was always 'ready', cats with steam, etc. E-2 and other assets also stood alert all the time. If in a fairly benign envirnment, I'd say about 15-30 minutes. P. C. Chisholm CDR, USN(ret.)
