Carrier Strike Group 11

Carrier Strike Group 11 is a governmental organization based in Everett, Washington. The group is a relatively small entity with a staff of four employees. Despite its small size, CSG-11 generates an impressive $1000 million in annual revenue. CSG-11, also known as the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group, is a formidable naval force. Its core components include the flagship USS Nimitz, guided-missile cruisers USS Princeton and USS Lake Erie, and Destroyer Squadron Nine. Destroyer Squadron Nine consists of six guided-missile destroyers: USS Sterett, USS Ralph Johnson, USS Shoup, USS John Paul Jones, USS McCampbell, and USS Stout.
