The high-intensity deployment of ship-borne aircraft, the mission time of the carrier battle group is about three days. After that, it has to retreat to the rear to replenish fuel.
In addition, the fleet usually has 2 to 3 carriers, and about 10 early warning aircraft that can be deployed, which is even less of a problem.
In summary, the Newland navy's E-2C can't fly very far.
In other words, as long as the E-2C is spotted, the Newland carrier is not far away!.
In addition, there must be anti-air warships near the E-2C, very likely "Ticon" class cruisers. The key is, the early warning aircraft and the anti-air warships must keep in contact, frequently communicating, and even using high-performance frequency-hopping radios, they can still be found by reconnaissance aircraft.
A carrier can carry 4, even 5 early warning aircraft, but the anti-air cruisers providing direct cover, at most, number only 2.
