Pair of guided-missile cruisers (carrier-group escorts)
Two steel-hulled guided-missile cruisers ride with the carrier battle group: mid‑sized warships with angular superstructures, tall radar masts, and visible vertical missile launch cells. They appear as unnamed escorts counted among the formation's assets; characters reference them only as part of the threatened group, their presence amplifying operational complexity and human risk.

Purpose
To escort and defend a carrier battle group: provide long-range air and missile defense, surface strike capability, radar and sensor coverage, and layered protection for the carrier and embarked forces.
Significance
Function as tangible components of the imperiled naval formation, increasing the scale and gravity of the crisis. Their inclusion in the briefing multiplies the human stakes and tightens the timeline, making the carrier group's safety a broader operational and political liability.
