How the US Navy's New Aircraft Carriers Armed with F-35s Could Be Unstoppable
The Navy is making lethality enhancing “modifications” to its next two new Ford-class aircraft carriers, to include weapons-oriented ship-adjustments intended to further increase overall aircraft carrier combat effectiveness.

I did 2 tours on the Big E. I was on her from 1981-1984 and then Feb 2001- March 2002 Love the ship and hope the Navy gets another good Aircraft Carriers.
That one of a kind platform should have been retired 15 years sooner!!
Thank you for your service Sir.
You sire are in luck. Cause the 3rd Gerald r ford class carrier that's being built rite now is the USS Enterprise (CVN-80) She's coming back to fight again! Also thanks for your service!
I made the 1982-83 cruise on the Enterprise. A very clean ship
Long live the Enterprise
And may all who sail on her
"Live long and prosper"
Ships with that name have a way of changing history.
😉😉😉😉😉😈😈😈😈😈

I served on Enterprise CVN 65. From 1967 through 1972 as a reactor operator and technician. She was amazing.
Mark Maxwell Britain was firstwith hms enterprise name
The BIG E (Navy guys know which one I'm talking about)!
I hope the elevators and catapults work on these Ford class carriers.
American number one guys good job take care of yourself bye 🇺🇸🦅
Get some today!! Go Navy‼️‼️
Nice, Go USA!
@Nexusfast123 let me guess your from a poor middle eastern country?
@@operatordokkaebi8306 maybe hes a butthurt Muslim
Im more impressed by the unmentioned ability for the newer carriers to have a charged deck to help reduce damage from incoming missiles. Similar to a primitive protoss plasma shield.
Just radioactive with Uranium though.
I would be thinking putting some super fast reactive anti-missiles on the ship
GOOD DEFENSE !! THANKS YOU FOR THE VIDEO..
They should make the next two carriers container ship-proof.
They should register it as a cruise ship. Those do well vs ramming attacks.
The issue from recent naval disasters we're that the crew piloting those ships were asleep. They're supposed to have three crews onboard or two. Those ships that crashed has less than 1 crew onboard and left port half staffed on board. No one was to get sleep onboard those ships that crashed. Admirals to captains and in between were never to control a ship again. Due to checking off that they shipped out of port with a crew. When in fact they didn't have a crew.
AND tanker-proof (e.g. USS Ranger, Apr 1979).
I hope they're given proper ship names for carriers (ie; Yorktown, Saratoga, Lexington, etc.).
Saratoga :)
Keep dreaming, dude. Before we know it, there will be a flattop name after the incumbent president. The "USS DA DONALD". Mark my words.
Those names should always be reserved for carriers !!
Exactly. They need to stop naming them after living people who steer money to the USN. Midway, Constellation, Coral Sea, etc.
@@DanielBrown-sn9op Yeah....'living people' like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, Carl Vinson, John Stennis, Harry Truman, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Gerald Ford & John F. Kennedy. Anybody I miss....you bonehead...
Can't wait for the enterprise
I understand the pattern of naming today’s carriers after Presidents, famous sailors & other leaders, but I wish they’d consider bringing back a few of the other legendary carrier names on these new ones. I love the Enterprise, a name that should always be attached to a carrier or other top-of-the-line flagship. Wouldn’t it be great to have a new Yorktown, Lexington, Saratoga and/or Intrepid alongside her? Especially since a few of those WWII carrier names are now available?
I was just thinking that one should be named after John Paul Jones.
It’s so beautiful ;-;
❤ Go Navy!!!
Great video and I gave a like.
But absolutely inacceptable: Within 10 minutes 3 annoying commercials and 3 banners for free registration software with malware included (by an accidental clicking my antivirus system has responded immediately).
Why do I have a funny feeling that those big, largely empty sponsons on either side of the arresting cables are going to eventually grow a pair of Mk41 VLS modules to replace those old Sea Sparrow octuple launchers?
That would involve a major redesign that would be very expensive. It would be cheaper and quicker for the USN to fix EMALS, I strongly suspect. Also, those sponsons are nowhere near where the catapults are located, so they cannot even remotely be associated with them in any way, shape or form.
Good question; why DO you think that? First, what makes you think they are empty? Second, look where they are; do you think that a VLS would launch THROUGH THE FLIGHT DECK??
No. Take a look at the SPONSONS on either SIDE of the flight deck.....you know....the big flat area that is a deck lower than the flight deck and where the octuple sea sparrow launcher is currently located. They are far larger than the sponsons used by the Nimitz class CVN's. A Mk. 41 VLS could easily be located on either side and not interfere with flight operations at all. An eight-cell self-defense version using ESSM in quad packs could hold 32 missiles easily. But there is enough space on either side for a 32 cell tactical length Mk 41. You could not only load quad-pack ESSM in those cells, but you could easily also load vertical-launch ASROC and SM-6 SAMS in those cells. This would give the Ford class the ability to handle saturation attacks that the octuple launchers simply could not defeat. The missiles in those cells could also be controlled by escorting AEGIS ships in cooperative engagements. Finally, you did notice that the Ford class CVN essentially have their own AEGIS phased radar with the AMDR radar system. Do you really think that they invested that much money into that radar just to have it play air traffic control? No way. That radar is meant to significantly improve the Ford's organic self defense capabilities. Adding Mk 41's to those huge sponsons makes absolutely perfect sense.
Can’t stand the computer voice
Joshua Amaro : am perfectly happy with the voice....
Ray Queipo I’m perfectly happy with your moms voice
U guys are idiot dufuses
It's amazing that the producers of this video can't find somebody to read the script. Is there nobody who can read aloud anymore?
Also, the music is an annoyance. In the 21st Century, viewers obtain as much music as they want, and for free. Why do video makers think
that music improves their videos? The music they pick is particularly bad. Very bad music. They are insecure, and feel the content of
their videos will not hold an audience. They don't realize that the music they choose is so annoying, that people leave just because of the
music. "But, everybody else does it." That is the rationale they use, and they have no idea what they are doing. They have information,
which is what the video viewer clicks on the video in the first place, but the video producers insist on annoying music, which is a hold over
from the 20th Century, when people had to pay for music. ~ Bum, bum, ba-bum, bum, bum, bum, ba-bum, bum, bum. ~ Stop this crap.
Robotic voice often runs words or syllables together very quickly, making it very difficult to understand.
We need at least three more new ship yards,start building them now.
Good luck also finding 3 times the skilled labor force required to staff these new shipyards. That kind of experience isn't taught in schools or on a TH-cam video.
It’s a F’g travesty that we’ve let our shipyards be neglected the way they have been, not to mention the fact that we need new shipyards to add to the neglected ones we do have in operation.
@@teddy.d174 that's called the natural progression of capitalism.
@@aerospacecadet9781 Maybe making the carriers can be outsourced to Me-hi-co, where the cars are also made for a lot less than you pay for them.

I don't know what the f*** this was about but it wasn't about the next two carriers being more lethal.
Hire humans… Not robots
cool looking
The next Virginia class sub should be named USS Rickover.
Think the third seawolf sub was named rickover
YES! ALWAYS WONDERED WHY NO SUB NAMED AFTER THE FATHER OF US NUCLEAR SUBS, ADMIRAL RICKOVER. IT WOULD NEED TO BE VERY SPECIAL SUB.
I want to see them working around the clock getting them out for combat as soon as we possibly can get em done
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
We need more B21 Raptors and NGAD
The” unnamed “ one does have a name. CV81 name is USS Dorie Miller. The navy announced that last year.
Video was made in 2019
Worthless; I gave up after six minutes. I don't need a robo-voice to tell me that refueling extends range and longer range is good. Never would have guessed.
It seems that the merger of the summary ship was born.
Go Team U.S.A.
CVN-81 should be the next USS Ranger. Carrying on the tradition of excellence, to a new generation.
No the USS Independence CVN-81
@@michaelthomas3543 Silly boy, the name USS Independence is currently in use.
USS Coral Sea.
Anything but named after another damn politician!
The USS Barak Obama.
We need another port that can make super carriers
Well, I was going to watch this, but I read the comments first, and found out about the computer narration. Hard pass.
Where gonna need the ship yards that they did away with,bring them back,don't rely on on so little.
Where are you going to find the people to manufacture in more ship building yards. Manufacturing is a trade and can take years to learn. If you haven't done it a while then you lose you edge. And building military equipment isn't like assembling a toaster. Plus young people don't want these jobs. They're dirty and have no future after a war because the corporate elites will send those jobs back to the very enemy we just defeated. Nope corporate America has shown us working people that these jobs have no future. I know I regret ever learning manufacturing as a trade.
Donald Grant I disagree. Money talks, people will learn their trades, and America is coming back as a manufacturing country. There are two types of workers. Those that like to sit behind a desk at a keyboard, and those who like to get “dirty.” There are plenty of both.
The Australian robotic voice makes me think that this video refers to the Australian Navy rather than the US Navy. Big flaw especially since the voice never specifies the US Navy specifically.
last one should be called York Town, or the Franklin D Roosevelt . check out their fighting history.
If old the US Air carries can be improve will help enhance the better security
These floating airport/military bases are impressive sitting still, but I did not know they can also bob and weave like Cassius Clay. Somebody once explained the more water a ship displaces, the faster it can go. So big ships are faster than small ones, given the same power ratio. It's just crazy to see an aircraft carrier dodge torpedoes like a jet slipping SAMs.
They have help dodging, they have torpedo decoys they tow behind them. It provides a sonar target and generates a large magnetic field to attract and detonate torpedos.
Long live the big "E"
I strongly recommend that you use actual human narrators. What you produced is a substandard video.
5:48 clap speed way off
Does the submariners, practice with the aircraft carrier, shoot dummy torpedoes at the carrier,...so the carrier can train to defend against submarines?
Love this new ships it's like are countries getting a new powerful new toy😂😂😂😂😂
Holloman AFB needs to extend runways and couple and expand radar coverage with Sunspot for border control
Wrong video for your subject. Try one that pertains to the topic, rather than one that just randomly appears on your screen.
Information good some video a little lame and redundant could have done a better job.
CVN 81: USS Lexington, or USS Saratoga, or USS Yorktown.
I think part of the problem is that our American youth isn't taught our nation's history anymore and would have no fuc#ing clue what Yorktown, Saratoga, Lexington, Valley Forge or other, even more recent historical places/events were about.
These carriers are the Yamato class of the 21st century.
Get them more powerful weapons systems
12 carriers seem like a small number. Till you realise what each carrier is comprised of. Thousands of personnel and an airwing the size a small country might run. Mind-boggling.
Anyone know the beginning song?
The new anti-aircraft weapons on our carriers seem tame to the ones from the WWII carriers had developed from 1943 onward. Battle 360 Enterprise is a great HC series.
We now have directed energy weapons for air defense. AKA lasers.
@Jacob Strom No, no, no. I sure screwed that comment. It just seems the new superior technological "cleaner" weapons wise compared to the all the different armaments on a WWII had.
98% of the bullets/shells fired by air defense in WWII were clean misses, so they needed to put up a wall of steel to protect the ships. We have guns and missiles that are guided these days and directed energy weapons are being introduced to the fleet now.
The robot voice is whatever, but why does it have a seemingly Australian accent?
81 should be the new Ranger
Good. Now we need a very long range missile to intercept ship killing missiles. Or a stranger leaser weapons.
As long as the boy and girls are safe
How much over ride costs so executives. Get big pay
I bet that carriers will be given energy beam defensive weapons, when they are perfected and go into production.
I think that energy weapons are the best hope of defending against hypersonic missiles, and missile swarms.
I wonder when that will occur???
Does anyone know?
Well if it has Rockets should have missiles they will to encounter hypersonic missiles from China or Russia onto the carrier installing but keep a secret
China and Russia have no idea of the experience it takes to make these incredible Superior Carriers, they will never catch-up to Americas Mighty Navey.
Before they go off making all kinds of mods and upgrades, how'bout just getting the elevators and the EMALS working.
When they get done with that, maybe an affordable LRAP for the Zumwalt?
Those were fixed last year,where have you been?
How about letting the engineers handle it their way?
why fuzz id badge ?
OK------------ I hope this means that they are going to add VLS cells to the open deck area at the Port Stern corner of the Carrier that now is just wasted open space next to the Sea Sparrow launcher. Giving the Carrier Ballistic and Cruise missile defense assets it desperately needs.
fusion reator is more clean and less slack
Lets see if they finally fix the Eletromagnetic catapult and elevators
What about magnetic rail guns ? It has the nuclear power plant !

I like the concept that the Marines are using smaller fast attack aircraft carrier.
Dean Cappetta Dean, as an aside, those ships you refer to are Amphibious Assault ships, Though some recent TH-cam vids have referred to them as “F35 Carriers” their still Amphibs in Marine speak. They don’t have anywhere near the capability of carriers.
@@stevenshelton9443 2-3 F-35 light carriers massed together will form their own independent strike groups.
krosny Not exactly. Those amphibious assault ships comprise the nucleus of the “Amphibious Strike Group” aka the landing force comprising Marine and Navy Personell. The F35 will support the landings with close air support in conjunction with other rotary assets such as OV-22, CH-53s and the like. Providing combat air cover for the entire fleet, including the ASG, is the Carrier Strike Group. Where ever there’s a ASG a CSG is also in the vicinity. The ASG does not have the air, counter-air or fleet defense capabilities of the CSG no matter how many of them you Group togeather. The ASG is not intended to act in the role of “Carrier Light” but to land Marines and landing force elements while providing localized Close Air Support via the F-35, OV-22, Cobra gunships and CH-53s.
@@stevenshelton9443 They will in fact form their own independent strike groups among endless other possibilities.
There are many levels of conflict below all out war. They will be more than enough for low intensity conflict able to lead their own assaults freeing supercarrier battle groups for higher priority missions.
It is the vastly improved situational awareness that F-35Bs bring to the table that make F-35B light carriers serious instruments of power projection.
Any country detecting such a strike group nearby would shit its pants knowing F-35Bs can launch their own strikes with plenty of situational awareness since their sensors talk to each other and soak up all electronic information in the battlespace.
The enemy won't know if this group is screening for a supercarrier, creating a diversion (trying to split enemy air assets up), going for a high value target that must be defended at all costs or just probing enemy defenses to get them to reveal themselves in preparation for a main strike.
The Marines and Navy know the future. And they like the absurd flexibility and power they will have with these F-35B light carriers.
Btw, Japan gets it, too, with their F-35B light carriers.
krosny the point your missing is that Amphibious Assault Ships that you refer to as F35 Carriers are not designed nor intended to act as “light carriers”. Their purpose is to carry Marines to the intended landing beeches and provide the required air support. Regardless of level of conflict their mission remains the same, Amphibious Assault, not Carrier fleet defense nor are built to act in the role
Of Carrier under circumstanses. While the scenario you posit is an interesting one putting the ASG in the Carrier role
Is erroneous. The F-35, for all its capabilities, replaced the aging Harrier and when they were aboard, some referred to those same ships as “Harrier Carriers” but the amphibious
mission of these ships were the same, Amphibious Assault. To my knowledge that hasn’t changed.
And they should have all f35b on one of them and the other one with the next generation fighter jets
Don't you mean C (Carrier) F35C
F35B VERY SHORT RANGE. ONLY USE FOR AMERICA CLASS.
not even youtube closed captions can understand that computer voice
4th carrier is uss doris miller
I love the content, computer voice, not so much. And it's not the Australian/ New Zealand accent, that's cool, but the mispronounced words..
I think they should use a female Korean voice like was used to broadcast during the Korean War. The Yankee dogs are modifying .... to support the Wall Street pirates ...
Bill Seidel thank you! These videos would be so much better narrated with a human
what's wrong with the mispronounced words, this ain't a mof* English class, this is rethinking about the strength of your military deteriorating- not to mention your military officials are slacking off. Visit "Mang Gastador" channel.
Australian accent mixed with a robot accent makes it a chore to listen to, anyway. How about a pirate accent instead?
Donavon Robbins Aaaaarrghhhh I be onboard for that me hearty.
I like the information but the "computer narrative" sucks.

We need to build ships faster. We are only building 1 to 2 submarines a year. We build 1 destroyer a year. We should be building Atleast 3 to 4. We haven’t built new cruisers in ages. We should be Atleast upgrading the Ticonderoga’s! The navy has really let things go. We can do so much better while providing more jobs and boosting our economy.
We should not retire any Nimitz hulls until things in the South China Sea calm down.
Must have been difficult for Senior Navel people to admit these new carriers were in trouble from hypo sonic missile that fly to fast for radar tracking let along targeting by defence systems.
New direction is to keep carrier group further out to sea and to increase airborne refueling. What not said is with taking on additional tankers attack aircraft numbers being reduced. We have see already aircraft compliment reduced from 99 downwards to the 66 range or less. Operating fuel costs and quantity for F-35 is way above original design estimates reducing time between resupply further cutting back on mobility.
Extra AA guns being added is further admission the screening ships not capable of adequate defence. I think we are seeing supposed savings in crew numbers being bled away.
Exactly!!!! This is literally an aircraft carrier given the catapult, arresting systems and elevators are unreliable. Let's not mention the Littoral and Zumwalt class ships. The F16, F18 and F15 are more capable aircraft than the F35. Slick productions do not change the facts.
That voice does not compute
Launch catapults that actually work?
Where is Mrs. Phan?
Maybe they can get the catapults to work
Nope!
Taken two years to make them sea worthy so far, after their built. Some have been just stuck power down in the Panama Canal.
It would be nice to hear a human voice, thanks.
What’s with all the rust
I got a cold idea what if they put a submarine missile or a missile that can kill a career not nuclear but a big ass long rang under water missiles at the bottom of our careers
Unmanned fighters coming soon
Go ahead and double them, America will need them in case of chinese aggresion🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Victor Reymond the Chinese carriers are not battle worthy. The Liaoning has never been able to leave port for more than 72 hour’s without a major failure
@@t5grrr eventually they will be, and when they are sea worthy, america will have probably moved on to something bigger
Victor Reymond they will never be seaworthy, their entire concept is a disaster, design is a dead end and build quality is as cheap as possible.
@@t5grrr i guess.. whatever the case, it will hopefully be in america's best interest

Disliked due solely to the voice. What’s so hard about getting a person to voiceover?
Computer-voice narration is, in general, getting much better and, some of it getting GREAT. Someone ought to tell the producers of THIS video. This is some terrible 1st-gen crap here. Oh wait.....it's DOD/Gov. Makes perfect sense now.
There putting 300 vls on the carriers
When using Computer voice sometimes you have to type a made up word that will make the voice sound like the real word.
What is it with most of these military new channels using a computerized voices. The information itself isn't bad but brother it's annoying.
A human voiceover would get me past minute 2 and might get a like. I got to 2:09
