What Would It Take To Sink USS Gerald R Ford Aircraft Carrier?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2018
- The USS Gerald Ford is the world's largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, a groundbreaking ship the likes of which has never been seen in human history. Over 1,000 feet (337m) in length, and displacing 100,000 tons, it is the largest warship ever built by man. But is the Ford truly unsinkable as some claim, and if not, what would it take? Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look at what it would take to sink the USS Gerald Ford.

@@articcsyt9744 this is all already public information, if a youtube channel with no clearance on any information can get this information, whats stopping opposing forces?
This was an unescarilly long video just to hit the 10 minute Mark to get ads. I know why your doing and I get but don't put in with filler but maybe a montage of actual good content instead of filler
if not a neer peer war few would try to sink a carrier.the attack would force the u.s. to incinerate the attacker.

How many Gerald R Ford carriers are there?
The vessel is scheduled to be commissioned in 2020, while further ships of the class will enter service at five-year intervals. A total of ten Ford-class carriers are planned with construction continuing to 2058. CVN 78 will replace USS Enterprise (CVN 65), which entered service in 1961 and decommissioned in 2017.

The reason why the Bismarck and the Yamato sank was because of poor Damage Control training. The sailors onboard was not trained or equipped well enough to take on the tasks of damage control. Could an enemy damage a carrier, yes. Could an enemy sink it, very unlikely.

The ability of the crew to perform effective damage control is a factor you neglected to consider. Every Sailor is a Damage Controlman.
Even if a small boat attack successfully damaged the ship, the crew would likely seal off the all water tight doors, and shore the hull as best as possible. Thus, preventing the sinking for the ship.
As to the comment that in 2006 a Chinese sub surfaced in the midst of a task force, and then states the that the task force did not know the sub was there. Just because the public statements said they did not know it was there because they were not actively looking for it, does not mean that they weren't looking. They are always looking. The sub was not considered hostile, so no action would have been taken, and let the other side think they got away with a PR gain.
As one who flew ASW back in the late '60s, our air group had a technique that allowed us to detect and track a US Boomer. The only people we told about it was our own senior staff all the way up including the sub commands. I'm sure the subs are harder to detect these days and am equally sure detection techniques are better as well. We used to play games with our attack subs. This allow both sides to get better which is what war games are all about.
"Unsinkable as some claim"..... Reminds me of something from history... Hope it has iceberg detection.

Well, obviously you'd better make do with the ships and aircraft you currently own
STEP 1, TO SINK A SHIP: say it is unsinkable

Ships used in nuclear tests are nearly never hit directly. In most cases, ships taking nuclear explosions in tests are from nearby to, not onto, the ship themselves. Any nuclear weapon used directly on a ship would definitely sink it.
Moneyat F ya urs is the best one so far.. were not sinkable go back to bed..

Sunk in war games, so they can counter it in real life scenarios. And yes of course if a major war broke out, we'd likely loose it. Propaganda, from both sides
You do know that was for pretend
During that same wargame, the ship I was on the USS Momsen DDG-92 "sunk" the HSwMS Gotlund before it was able to hit the USS Abraham Lincoln..
Short Answer: táctical nukes or a battleship like Yamato.

China: WRITETHATDOWNWRITETHAT DOWN
“An aircraft carrier is poorly suited to defend against swarms of small attackers”
I have one word: BRRRRRRT
Apparently there was a war game several years ago in which the US did lose a carrier in confined (Strait of Hormuz) waters due to a simulated swarm attack. I'm guessing we learned from that though.
Some claim its unsinkable.
Me: Is it a permanent land mass with firm attachments to the sea floor?
No...
Me: Then its sinkable.

Yo mom: hold my beer

But even firm attachments to the ground are sinkable.
No one claims a carrier is unsinkable. Just very difficult to sink. Straw man argument.
Navy vet here (Former FC stationed on a few carriers). Watch the documentary about sinking the USS Oriskany. They went through a lot of effort to ensure it sunk. 50 + years later, carriers are designed better to take more hits. During wartime there will always be a ship alongside a carrier. We were rarely left alone. They're too valuable to leave vulnerable like that.
Sure, but they weren't trying to sink it with missiles w nuclear war heads on them either! I somehow suspect a carrier couldn't survive one of those.
@@dadthelad Look up operation crossroads, they did nuclear bomb testing on/near ships in the 1940s. Many survived nuclear blasts, including a few aircraft carriers. The issue was the radioactive materials embedded into the ships hulls that sealed their fate.
@@pwrbyford68 bet now aircraft carriers have sprinklers to wash off radio active particles and at bets they could survive 1 but 2 and it’s done when hit dead on
@@dadthelad they did try miss,es, in fact they tried many conventnal weapons, also using a nuke would just cause even more escalation so it would be heavily unlikely
Modern day missiles have changed the game dramatically over what they had to deal with in WWII.
Great video, I liked the comparison to the Yamato
If it is a ship, by definition it is sinkable.

*[Enemies of the U.S. hastily adding this to their Watch Later playlist]*
As if what he's saying is "classified". It's not. The enemy (whomever that maybe) already knows how it might be done - it's just having the cash, commitment, forces n technology to do it.. that takes out about 90% of possible threats.. n nothing is 100%. The Swedish diesel sub for example, can pre-emptively strike but with enough firepower in one hit? I'm not so sure - the carrier has many layers of redundancy to ameliorate against 2-3 good hits. It probably wouldn't sink, n then that sub would have to make it home.. unlikely, but possible.

What would it take to sink a ship?
Me: just call it unsinkable
I would say fairly accurate breakdown. Is a super carrier vulnerable? Yes, however how vulnerable depends on the tactics used. The trick is don't put the carrier in a dangerous situation that u can avoid i.e. close to shore or within range of a lot of missiles. That may keep them out of operational range, but not necessarily out of range on navel containment of the enemy.
First step to not getting your most expensive and powerful ship sunk : *DON'T CALL IT UNSINKABLE!*
Yeah call it "totes sinkable the worst ship ever lol". THEN it will be unstoppable
it is psychological
Lol. It's a challenge to the world. (A stupid one).
It’s like the titanic all over again
A small Nuke anywhere near the fleet and the entire fleet sinks. Any submarine within the concussion ring pops like a grape. Missile boats are the future. Or better yet, stop getting into wars.

Carriers are incredibly tough to sink. Check out the Bikini Atoll nuclear tests. The USS Saratoga (CV-3) didnt sink when the first one went off. Also the USS Kitty Hawk was used as a test platform to see what it would take to sink a modern carrier. The Navy was surprised on how hard it was to sink her using missiles, bombs, and torpedoes. Are carriers indestructible? No. But they are very hard to sink successfully.
I thought A Electromagnetic Railgun may be able to sink any aircraft carrier. The railgun will drill into the body of the carrier and explode inside.
Unlike the torpedoes only damage the outer body of the carrier. That is my understanding. correct me if I am wrong.
@The Quiet Kid China is already pushing carriers further and further out because of their hypersonic weapons, carriers have no reasonable defense. Carriers are a total and utter waist of money. They are only useable in smaller regional conflicts with less sophisticated weapons. ie Gulf War. Even in that case we could have launched everything from SA and it most likely would have cost half as much.
You don't need sunk USS aircraft carrier to counter it's threat for long time.
@@susanchin4117 I believe it depends on the torpedo.
The older versions relied on delivering an explosive payload to the ship itself, but the new ones rely on blasting a cavity of water out from under them that can snap a large ship in half.

Man has never made anything that cannot be destroyed. So, short story, yes, it can definitely be sunk.
Daniel Duncan no it can’t be sunk by any ship or aircraft
Hahahaha! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Perhaps you did not comprehend what I said. Maybe you do not know what "anything" means. Man has never made anything that cannot be destroyed, that is literal "anything", by the way.
Do not fall into that stupid false sense of security. *NEVER* underestimate an opponent, *NEVER* . The fact that you think it cannot be sunk means that you don't really understand how weapons work. In a time of war a weapon will b e created to do exactly that, even if such a weapon does not exist today. Hell, they could just nuke it with that low flying missile they just showed off, or one of a similar design. One direct hit with a nuke and it is going to the depths, that is a guarantee. I know, you said; "no it can’t be sunk by any ship or aircraft", that is a cop-out and I won't let you get away with taking the easy way out.
Daniel Duncan ok buddy where talking about today. And nothing can sink it that’s not a nuke and they would nuke it as it could result in America nuking other stuff like bases. And your proving my point because you couldn’t state anything besides a nuke. And your forgetting cyber warfare and spies. You think the US won’t know if an attack is coming
The ocean is vast. No matter how big your fleet is, it can never be everywhere in the ocean at once. Sinking this ship would be easy. If a chinese ship popped up in the middle of a military drill without being detected, then saying "Yeah but in war" is a completely nonsense excuse. During many military war games, there ships are active as if they were "in war" swedish ships constantly sunk this carrier with no reprecussions, to the point that America leased the swedish subs to try and find ways to counter it.
So yes, even today it can be destroyed. We can currently make water based drones. Water based kamikaze drones could totally sink this this ship easily. It really is becoming obsolete.
It can be sunk but it would be really hard since carrier are usually always escorted by destroyers or cruisers. And they probably already know the enemy is coming from miles aways before even arriving.

Aircraft carriers are not like battleships. They are not meant to engage directly in combat. They are basically just mobile airbases. Carriers always travel in strike groups consisting of destroyers, cruisers, subs and other smaller vessels that surround the carrier. These escorts are responsible for naval attack and defense. The carrier is just the ride for the aircraft cover and acts as the strike group’s command center.
As long as aircraft are essential in naval warfare, large carriers that can deploy and maintain a powerful air presence anywhere in the world will always be necessary.
