According to the CWC concept, what is the radius for all ships of the formation in relation to the flagship?

In the context of the Commander’s Watch Condition (CWC) concept, the specified radius for all ships of the formation in relation to the flagship is set at 20 nautical miles (NM). This radius is designed to ensure effective communication and operational coherence among the ships while allowing for tactical flexibility. Maintaining a distance of 20 NM allows the ships to support each other while remaining within a manageable range for coordination, control, and quick responses to any threats or changes in the operational environment.

This distance is calculated considering the radar and sensor capabilities, communication range, and the ability to maneuver effectively in various maritime conditions. The CWC framework emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe, yet effective distance, which enhances overall situational awareness and facilitates command and control, making the 20 NM radius the optimal choice for operational readiness and mutual support in formations.
