How many nations make up the Combined Maritime Forces partnership served by CTF 154?
- A.27
- B.37
- C.47
- D.57
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 47. The Combined Maritime Forces is a partnership of 47 nations, and CTF 154 is the one task force within it that is given over wholly to training, running professional courses and capacity building so that member navies can work with one another at sea. The other three figures are near misses of the sort a paper setter likes to place beside the real one, and none of them is the strength of the grouping: 27, 37 and 57 are all wrong. A useful way to hold the number is to tie it to what India did with it, since the Indian Navy was training the navies of all 47 members during its tenure at the head of CTF 154, from 11 February 2026 until the handover at Manama on 14 October 2026.
