The Confederate Navy is a small force, primarily reserved for the defense of the Confederate Homeland. There are, however, two groups which are commonly assigned offensive duty, Carrier Group Manhattan, which is called upon when the Confederacy needs to project more force than usual overseas, which would usually be augmented to an international task force, and the smaller Strike fleet, created to harass enemy shore positions and shipping lanes.
