That was interesting - the narrator was telling us about the nuclear reactors and we were looking at someone checking the oil level in a Diesel engine.
This is clickbait 'content' at its best. Lots of video snippets barely related to the topic and some knucklehead reading copy he knows next to nothing about.
I had a friend who ran a nuclear power plant on a carrier (1 of 2 ) he said that they will go about 20 yrs before they need refueling and etc. that really is amazing, they say the subs are about the same. they usually have 2 because they need to go down on occasion. but 20 yrs without fuel is darn impressive. i think the value of nuclear is very under rated .
It's undervalued because of the risk it possesses. If one of those Subs or carriers sink, it'll cost a lot of money to either raise them from the sea bed or to cap them in concrete so their waste does not leak into the water way. Edit: If interested, the Russian Kursk submarine was sunk in the Arctic and they're still having issues with it 20+ years later. Couple cool videos on the incident
Nuclear energy going to be the end off use there s be 100+ underground nuclear tests then there's the big concrete dome near bikini islands full off nuclear crap the USA left in case any general might read go you really need to go look at that dome the sea is hitting it as your doing nothing about it the rest off use will suffer when all that nuclear wast USA left gos into the sea
Nuclear has drawbacks and there is tech that rivals it depending how you use it. Given human crews depend on regular "refuelling" that 20 year frame between refuels would be an real big advantage with automated systhems. Then, reactors may run for 20 years with one fuel package, but the periphery needs maintance that can only done in an base, so it is relative too. It is an impressive number, but as long you can not build everything else that plays into the whole to go on for 20 years too you can not really have an advantage. That reactors can be run underwater at full power without the need to surface at all, that is the real advantage, not the 20 years, if they would run only one year or six month without refueling, that would make them as much an asset as 20 year refueling cycles. the 20 years number is more to impress the civilians, but for the purpose they have, it does not really give an big advantage aside that you do not have to worry so much for fuel logistics. Carriers need jet fuel that is the real limiting factor (even the best carbon based fuel go stale in matter of month) Submarines need a pletora of refills on an monthly basis to work fine, if fully equiped you can stretch that to 3 or 4 month, then they are not fully operational anymore.
I was in the Navy from 90 to 94. Still kicking myself in the @$$ for not staying in. My dad was also in the Navy and served on the U.S.S. America during Vietnam. He got out about 1973. Thank you for your service.
I was so lucky my grandson, Jordon (Engineer at Newport News) invited me to attend the Christening of the JFK--Dec.7, 2019. When President Kennedy's daughter (Caroline) 52 yrs. later, tried to Christen the aircraft carrier, the bottle once again did not break on the first swing. It was a funny moment on a very cold day at the port. Beautiful day. Thanks Jordon!
Funny story, I was on a hill in Point Loma CA. watching a new aircraft carrier come into the Navy harbor base in San Diego. I was excited and kept clicking my camera getting pictures from every angle. My wife who was only mildly impressed said to me "come on, how many pictures do you need, its just a ship" A few moments later a guy was excited and wildly taking picture, after picture of the same carrier. followed by his wife saying, "why do you need so many pictures? My wife looked at me and said........... guess it must be a man thing. Being at a elevated level looking down at one of these wonders of the world is a WOW moment.
I remember Point Loma well. It was always a point fix landmarker to guide us in the navy and mark our points for our fixes coming in and out of sand diego
As a Royal Navy veteran I served on a carrier in my early career and freely admit to green eyed envy of the USN carriers then and now. I'm afraid that there is going to be a time in the not too distant future when carriers will go the way of the old battleships as technology will render them obsolete. Russia and China are developing hypersonic missile systems that have the potential to be a clear threat to large ocean going vessels well away from the combat zone or area of interest. But until that time comes these beautiful beasts will always be there to serve and protect us and our allies freedom.
Fortunately, as Russia and China are developing hypersonic weapons the US has been for decades working on hypersonic counter-measures. The Israelis have benefited from US interception technology in the form of the Iron Dome. There are other more lethal weapons coming online that can track and down a hypersonic missile with the use of high-powered lasers.
Hypersonic missiles are not as effective at sea apparently because they can’t maneuver too well at long distance. Reason is as a missile travels it has to curve which is why we use the slower ones already. The missiles are too fast for that kind of shot. Carriers can perform their duty by getting aircraft near the area to take out the missile sites. But not getting too close where a hypersonic missile can be a threat. This came off an article I read which could be false ofc. But give me your thoughts
They may be in development but thus far they have tested them only on stationery land targets with limited success.. It's a big leap to hit a fast moving carrier at several hundred or thousands of miles away..They need land based control as well as satalite , radar and GPS all working together in real time to hit the carrier.. They are not fire and forget missles. They are not there yet.. Neither Russia or China are close at this point in doing that..
It's already obsolete Brit Buddy. The final wars will all be fought with nukes. What every free country needs to do is (very secretly) plant hidden nuclear- headed missile silos all over the earth. THEN show proof to the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and N Koreans etc. The FEAR this will cause will hopefully prevent "The Big One". God save the Queen.....
My brother was a merchant Marine and serves on a funeral detail for the American legion now. I find it funny that when he started doing the funeral detail for the legion during the last few months of my active duty service in the military I was on military detail for funeral services while on active duty. I was originally part of the firing squad and then I elevated to being the commander of the firing squad. When I ETSd I actually had to train a guy who is twice my rank to take over my squad. I miss so extremely being on active duty.
WHERE THERE's A WILL, THERE'S A WAY. We have tens of millions of EMPTY GOVT BUILDINGS across the nation. Millions of empty houses, just DECAYING EMPTY. Millions of empty apartments, just decaying....empty. We have no choice: we have to start burning their mansions down. We have a right to self defense.

Quote: "Nuclear reactors that are like atomic bombs, but not really." end of quote. First, nuclear reactors are nothing like bombs. Reactor operates by sustained controlled fission of slightly enriched uranium, usually in the form of pellets embedded in zirconium set in rods and deposited with boron containing control rods in in the reactor core, fuel must be surrounded by the moderator in water-pressure reactors it is water and in RMBK - graphite. And so, the operation of the reactor is the right balance between the amount of active control rods, the coolant, the moderator, and the fuel. Fission gives huge amounts of thermal energy, a heat, that combined with water gives steam and steam drives turbines giving electricity.. Quite simple rules, right?. Far from a bomb which, in one of types can be set on the implosion lens, used to initiate a sudden fission of the fission material - highly enriched plutonium - as a highly unstable material, it is easily subjected to rapid fission, generating a huge amounts of energy in a sudden and uncontrolled burst. So it is not even close to each other, huh? To whom have you prepared your clip, for children in age up to 6? Cos level of your text is like that.
THE PENTAGON literally says BOXCUTTERS (in 4 separate incidents!!!!!) UTTERLY DEFEATED THE GREATEST MILITARY IN HISTORY on 9/11. I have millions more of these that prove THE WORST MILITARY IN HISTORY is Murica's. AMERICA'S MILITARY SURE IS BIG (like McDonald' Rump's butt!)....but THAT DON'T MAKE IT SMART, ha ha.
Yes 20+ years refueling for the ship, but the crew still has to eat, muntions have to be replenished and the jets still need JP5. Though they are awesome to serve and live on. God bless all the crews out there in the high seas.
In junior high I did a report on super carriers like the USS Nimitz. When they are fully manned and fueled they were capable of staying out at sea for 13 years without ever docking but they however had to dock every few years to get that barnacles scraped off
@@garystarr9176 when they have everything stored food wouldn't be the issue nor anything else because military rations can actually last for years on the shelf. We have what's called MREs meals ready to eat back in the old days of the 40s and 50s they were called C rations which meant canned rations. MREs some of them are absolutely delicious others are completely disgusting LOL. My favorite was beef stew or the chicken and rice. There was one that took me over 3 years before I would try it and it's the omelet with ham. I just couldn't imagine packaged egg tasting good but it was actually quite delicious. But military rations are made to give us enough energy even if we only have one a day instead of three meals one MRE can sustain us with zero problems. As I said already they last for years obviously when unopened. I find it kind of comical the first time I experienced anything that had a massive shelf life was when I was on missionary work in Labrador. They had these leader sized cardboard boxes of milk that could last for over 6 months without souring and it was true milk not something synthetic. It tasted like normal milk. But to reiterate a supercarrier staying out at sea for a decade or more has no issues when it comes to the food unless the sailors don't like what they're being served and want to mess with the cooks LOL. The super carriers are actually like a small City they even have their own post office. Not just a a little postal department it's considered an actual post office. Granted the report and studies I did were decades ago and it might have changed since then but it doesn't seem logical to think it would especially since they've only grown bigger. The sailor compliment back then was over 3,000 and some over 5,000 for a supercarrier. They're an amazing beast. I wasn't Abrams tanker and they are also one badass machine. Even without the bullets they are a lot of fun. The engine is a jet turbine just like in any plane that flies around the world. It takes 12 gallons of fuel just to start it. Normally there is an engine governor keeping it at 45 mph or less I've had mine one of mine I should say 10 miles over that. Without the governor that 77 ton beauty can do 95 miles an hour. When you get to go as fast as you can in them it is one hell of a rush.
@Repent to Jesus Christ! The NIV is one of the worst translations of the scriptures because it's inaccurate and summarizes crap leaving out details that are extremely important. I probably have more information than any priest minister or Reverend or pastor you've ever met because I have done extensive and I mean years of extensive research into the scriptures. I am not a bible thumper and unfortunately I have not been able to spread the gospel enough to be able to quote many verses anymore. But I probably have more knowledge than you could imagine about the scriptures and God's ordination and decrees. Don't challenge me when it comes to scripture I will bury you. My faith is as unwavering as the sun and just as hot.
Also you don't repent to Jesus you, you repent to the one he repented to and that is God whereas Christ was the only begotten son. Traditional Christians of both Catholic and Protestant faith always talk about following the path that Christ led us to yet instead of doing what he did they worship him whereas he worshiped Our Father. They try to defend the belief in eternity when you actually do research and learn the truth you find out that the idea and concept of a trinity is of pagan belief not of any level of Judaism and the subsequent Christianity. The entire concept of the Trinity didn't exist until after 325 years after Christ's death. It was at the council of nicea when they created the concept and implemented it into the Eastern Roman empire and Christianity. The original Christian people saw God as one entity and Christ as another and the holy Spirit as the force by which God makes his will happen. Christ is called the master of creation because of the power that was granted to him by the father whose name in Hebrew is Yahweh and in English it's Jehovah. So you repent through Christ like he was an operator on the phone but you repent to God himself not his son. Christ isn't the forgiver he's the Redeemer giving his life by his father's decree, if you remember he prayed to God asking for it not to happen but he was willing to do it anyway so that any one of us might gain everlasting life. But it is Jehovah God that forgives us upon judgment Day. Dividing us as goats to his left and sheep to his right and those to his right may be granted gracious everlasting life. Don't challenge me I will bury you when it comes to scripture. You can quote a multitude of versus like most church people do while ignoring a multitude of others that define the truth of God's love. To put it into an analogy if God has an order for us that takes 35 verses to explain it you must read all 35 to get the accurate knowledge and direction. But the traditional churches of protestantism and Catholicism read about 15 or 20 sometimes even 25 repeatedly over and over and over. But without the remaining verses you only have a semblance of truth the scriptures warn us about that the false ones will have a semblance of Truth. You can never negate the entire word of God by selecting a few verses here and there.
Narration makes a mistake in describing the length of a supercarrier. "Three football fields SIDE-BY-SIDE" would be 580 feet (160x3). The proper description should have been "longer than three football fields placed END-TO-END" (300x3). In actuality, it would be more accurate to state "nearly the length of four football fields."

Also thank you for thanking me but I honestly feel very uncomfortable getting thanked because I considered my service a privilege and honor and I don't feel the need to be thanked even though I think fellow veterans myself in fact I was given a great honor a few years ago. I met a World War II veteran and thanked him for his service he was with his wife at the time and she told me that I was the first person that had ever thanked him. Our World War II veterans come from the greatest generation and it disgusts me the ingratitude of the civilians thinking themselves so Almighty and privileged and completely disregarding us veterans and active duty members.
@@josephgriffin3688 I try to think every veteran I can. I do alot of filming on my Channel in cemeteries. I always give a shout to several. Read their name and rank and thank them for their service and sacrifice.
@@SunCoastFilms Electromagnetic. Apparently the principle benefits are that it requires less fresh water (No steam), supposedly easier and cheaper to maintain (Believe that when I hear it over time though it is possible), it's supposedly quicker to recharge and fire allowing for more frequent launches upping the sortie/day numbers, and that it can be dialed in more exactly in terms of the force needed so while it can still launch heavy planes it can also be dialed back to launch lighter drones without damaging them. So far it's apparently had reliability issues, breaking more often than the Steam catapults. Where that is in being addressed, I don't know.
Just an FYI, the latest carrier in the Ford class capable of flight ops is CVN-78 which is the Ford. The JFK, CVN-79 is not currently operable. It is still being built.
@Bullseye November 2021 the ship was still under construction and USNI reported that parts from the ship were being removed and sent to the USS Ford to replace broken parts on the Ford. Per USNI News the parts taken from Kennedy for Ford range from pumps to limit switches, HMI screens for stores elevators as well as motor controllers, power supplies, small pumps, limit switches and valve actuators for various systems throughout the ship,”
As an army veteran I say HOOAAH, go Navy. I actually come from a long line of Navy and Marine service members. I was one of four that went into the regular army.

@@tjcombo9328 while I was in the army they were trying to do away with the Chief warrant officers. The CW one and twos were given either the butter bar or silver bar lieutenant rank and the cw3s and four were either given captains or majors oak leaves. Our battalions cw3 at Our battalion Aid station was promoted to Captain. He would never answer to Captain he only allowed people to call him chief. And just for a comical side note I was actually walking over to weed Army hospital one day and I saw a cw2 female and boy was she cute LOL. I learned that bdus either made our sisters in arms look horrible or completely delicious.

I was Navy, Made E5 then went CW. Anyways the JFK is a POS, one of the newest ACC is the Ronald Regan, commissioned in 2003 I think maybe later. It is a super carrier. The JFK was supposed to relieve us on station after 6 months didn’t happen, they were late by 2 months. POS JFK. Anyways he chose the wrong boat to focus on.
@@brettc1984 so you were a squid LOL I was what they used to call a dat and then because of the Abrams tank a cdat.

As a veteran I actually consider our police and firefighters as the true Homeland security because they do their jobs every single day keeping people safe whereas the government agency only arises during certain events.
I hauled from Long Beach, CA port 2 experimental F-22 Raptor fighter jet engines to a secret Navel testing site in the middle of a swamp in South Carolina. The engines barely fit into my 53ft semi trailer. This place was unmarked. No vehicles anywhere. I rang the doorbell. A scientist in a white lab coat told me to leave my doors closed and back into that only dock when the door opened. He closed it. As I got out of my truck. Two more guys in lab coats opened my doors and began unloading those engines. This place was full of jet and C-130 simulator's and so many other future Air force equipment. Fascinating stuff.
@@johnbenjamin2703 John. The United States, China and Russia have hypersonic weapons that render conventional warfare null and void. They have kinetic energy weapons that are launched from space and have the destructive force of a nuclear weapon. An aircraft carrier is just a target. A 13 billion dollar target.

Possibly, but they each have 3-4 subs defending it and this super one would probably have its own iron dome like missle/torpedo defence system, it would be extremely difficult but not impossible to destroy it

I served on the USS Constellation CVA-64. She was one bad a** machine. I did the shaft alley watch for a month or so. Then developed a rash on the back of my legs (from sitting on the so many hatches before going down to see what the 4 propellar shaft's temps were). Went to one of the ships Dr's'...I got transfered to the bow on the flight deck. Much better. There is one action packed area. I remember these #'s about the cat's...They were sending 20-25 ton airplanes off from a dead start & in 280' going up to 165 mph... in 2-1/2 seconds. Was exactly 50 yr ago...our longest time "on the line"...49 days straight. The only time "off" was during a launch. The rest of the day (14-16 hrs...was tieing down planes during a recovery. When that was over...we untied the jets and freed up the bow for the next launch.
Russia isn't slacking off. It is unlikely they would ever fight anywhere in the Americas. The need for carriers isn't a priority. Land bases aircraft can do the job. Now with hypersonic missiles will be a game changer. Rendering surface ships in a real problem. As there is no defense against them. A hit from one of them can take out a small city without any warhead. China too has this capability.

Yeah my father in-law spent 30 + years in the navy he started out as a seaman and worked up to chief and retired commander, he was a electronics warfare officer and spent haft his life on the carrier…hell of a man…semper fi….
After the carrier came the supercarrier. After the supercarrier comes the superduper carrier, after the superduper carrier comes the superduper mega carrier, after the superduper mega carrier comes the superduper mega ludicrous carrier!
The best aircraft carrier ever would be able to submerge. Imagine not being able to find it... after It just launched 90 fighters into the air, then submerges. Imagine if the deck could be the only thing above the water, at times, keeping visibility to a minimum.
Imagine not being able to find it, that's what the pilot said, sitting in his underground bunker in front of a computer located in area 73 that nobody can find.
Russia has so tiny usable port areas. In Baltic sea, it is hard to go to the Atlantic ocean because of danish straits. And sea route from Black sea to Mediterranean is blocked by NATO country Turkey. In North Arctic ocean is mostly covered by sea ice. And on the Asian side, Russia has hardly any factories there and lots of sea ice comes there too. So, Russia has very few naval bases that can really work all the time. Using submarines is wiser, just because they may avoid contact to the enemy even in narrow places that Russia often has. In US there are lots of ports and possible routes to the sea where enemies has hard time to do anything. If US doesn't have enough marine vessels, then enemies may land on several lightly protected areas. So USA needs its carriers., while ie. Russia doesn't need them. Also Russia's land borders are crowded with enemies (you may argue that its their own fault) while USA has mostly allies and only 2 countries on its land based borders. So their armies will have very different things to handle when they prepare for war.
I was on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy CV-67 from '84 - '88. The predecessor to this JFK. I was also on the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. Also served on a couple of subs as well.
Add in placements for rail guns, high energy lasers being tested. That helps future proof the new class of super carrier (Gerald Ford Class). Also, more subs have been outfitted with aerial drones that can be used to take out guidance systems near shore where anti-ship installations are often placed. Between that and 3rd gen stealth fighters there is really no adversary in the same category. Hypersonic is not yet functional and Russia/China love to brag about their capabilities whereas U.S. keeps quiet but keeps developing so any serious conflict would be unpleasantly surprising to the U.S. adversary. Russia likes to think they can compete militarily, but they are decades behind in technology and their air force is a joke with much of it mothballed or being used for spare parts. China is mainly looking to compete economically and believes that is the route to dominance. They may be right but it's the long game and nothing to worry about in the short term.
Agreed. It amazes me sometimes how people think a country with the GDP of Italy can match the US. China is much more formidable, but their airforce needs better jet engines in their aircraft than poor facsimiles of Russian design. Their stealth aircraft designs are highly suspect, and their subs are not very good. They are investing in missiles because of these deficiencies, which in turn makes them very one dimensional. Their reliance on Area Denial will leave them extremely vulnerable outside that area. And for a country that can't feed itself, and is heavily reliant on trade and fishing fleets, those are some pretty significant red flags.
I think that Russia is a regional land power concerned principally with its border and some of the old USSR countries. Russia is self sufficient and is one of , if not the only country that spans two continents- both Europe and Asia. While Russia could be regionally aggressive and diplomaticallly global in influence : Russia has its defense against Western Europe, the Middle Eastern Turkmen republics and China on its plate. A large land area to defend with no sea front in most of Europe and Asia. The USA is a 'projector' of power and is without any enemies that can attack it over land successfully and hence the USA can build Carriers and Submarines in greater number and quantity to project influence.
Fighting against Germany and Japan with Allied power and support is one thing. Fighting against A Russian military might that can overwhelm much of eastern Europe, and have more land space, to buffer Foreign attack is something to consider. Now picture having to attack the largest country in the world add possible allies like China and Some Asian and Arab states. Let's see how effective your carriers will be. THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS. Maybe none of your carriers will make it back you your shores.

@@nigegibbs4547 I would pose this question. Why was Stalin so desperate and begging for the allied invasion of Western Europe if he could win on his own? Also Lend Lease helped Russia stay in it until they could build what they needed in adequate amounts and designs. And where was the USSR in the Pacific theater? They fought a one front war. A Herculean effort and their contribution in WW2 and the cost they bore are immense, but they couldn't do what the US did, which was wage war in a dominating fashion across multiple theaters. Something that is still true today. Russia has the GDP of Italy. They couldn't sustain what you are suggesting.
Awesome power, super carriers have a whole battle group that surrounds them. It's like having an American base anywhere on the planet. They are as intimidating as it gets.
So true. I remember encountering one whilst on holiday in Corfu in the 90s while the Balkan conflict was raging. I was visiting the island’s capital, a medieval town of narrow winding streets, walking towards the harbour when, emerging into the open, I was totally dumbstruck by the sight of the carrier, towering over the town like some enormous, out of scale, alien mothership had landed. I think my jaw literally hit the floor. Easily one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen, man-made at least, especially when contrasted with the Lilliputian surroundings of the ancient town

There were only 2 Nimitz class carriers built in the 70's. The USS Nimitz and Eisenhower. You made this video and know nothing about US carriers. The last Nimitz class carrier was the Bush which was commishioned 10 January 2009. You kept talking about the JFK and never showed it.
@@artzuiani6055 if the US needed 10 more carriers they would build them. I think the 10 nimitz-class carriers and two Ford class carriers are more than the rest of the world combined!

It may not look like it but the Navy is very protective of its ships. A lot of these films are made by the Navy then released to the public. You only get a needle point of information and no more. Sorry about that but myself wouldn't give the public nothing about our military except for propaganda.

The flat top was born in Briton as was the dedicated first all-purpose aircraft carrier, angled flight deck, catapult launches, ski slopes, vertical take-off and landing fighter's, Radar and much more. Briton from the industrial revolution that started hear has always been a world leader
ya gotta love the attention to detail that they put into this video. i never knew we had a General R. Ford class aircraft carrier. i hope to God Grumman wasn't behind the video.
Putin once said he doesn’t need to spend billions on aircraft carriers when he only needs to spend some millions on hypersonic missiles that can take them out.
hope he has alot of missiles.. CV66 took alot of missiles and torpedo and it did not even sink the USS AMERICA(without a damage control crew).. they had to scuttle it in order for it to sink.. just think about that..
@@userjlj you need to think again. A supersonic missile coming down at 10X speed of sound is able to penetrate the carrier even without any explosive. US is not capable of or unwilling to simulate that result.
The U.S. should be deploying less expensive (non-nuclear) aircraft carriers which wouldn’t be so expensive that only U.S. ally’s without deep pockets can afford to buy and deploy now that the STOL F-35C is available for carrier use. This would make sense for various NATO and ASEAN navies including Australia, South Korea and many other. More decks are more important than a few $13 Billion monster aircraft carriers.
Ikr. Actually they should have stopped building more 25 years ago. I dont see much difference except more planes but considering that weapons nowadays are autonomous and can be launched from thousands of miles away they make this carrier virtually useless. Even in dogfights those hornets are not as capable as f 15s, f16s, & f22s which are not carrier based aircrafts. I’m
The F-35C is not STOL. The Marine Corp and RN F-35B's are STOVL, and incur significant reduction in payload and range as a result of the compromises made to turn the F-35 into a true STOVL platform
Sorry, but wouldn't using midget aircraft carriers restrict the kind of planes they could use? The Royal Navy used small carriers in the Falklands War, which meant they could only use jump jets. Although the British won that war, there must be scenarios where you need a different fighter.
@@sanjivjhangiani3243 you are right. Do countries want to face what GB faced in the Flaklands? No And we do remember the US was requested to loan GB a carrier for that. They backed off though be cause they thought it would not look good.
Russia decided they couldn't compete with us carrier-wise, and sold at least one of theirs to China. Sending soldiers and/or weapons to places like Syria better served their purposes.
Very true. Russia has directed their cash spend on weapons to defense of Russia, they don't need aircraft carriers if they don't want to project their force in far away places.
"...impregnable...", "...unmatched...", "...untouchable..." Pride goeth before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. I am a Virginian. I have had kinfolk & neighbors work at, "the Shipyard", in Newport News where these carriers are built. The Ford class was aptly named, bc it is , thus far, an inept lame duck just like its namesake. If the fundamental problems are not soon remedied, then it will be the biggest embarrassment to us since Pearl Harbor. It is a vessel, built of steel, by the hand of man. What one man builds, another can destroy. Just present the honest facts, without the dishonest propaganda / spin.
Interesting how many people assume there are no defenses for anti carrier measures factored in to the carrier itself and it's armada of escorts, not to mention the aircraft it carries.
@@badlandskid the Poseidon is probably fake. Anyway it doesn’t do more then a ICBM or maybe a few would do. If you wanna use nukes no ships got a change. But then again using a Poseidon as an nuclear armed ICBM would result in an nuclear response. That would most likely result in an MAD scenario. So it parasitically useless, as anything besides being an nuclear deterrence, if it’s even real in the first place.
Carriers replaced battleships. But a submarine can take out the biggest carrier. So perhaps its time to give up on naval power and switch to drones. They can be operated from across the globe and are very inexpensive so losing one is no big deal.
Not quite yet. First off, submarines are tracked very efficiently these days. The days of subs being totally invisible are mostly gone. The US knows the approximate location of nearly all subs in the world at any given time and they track them closely. An anti-sub helicopter can chase down an enemy sub that gets too close. And nuclear weapons are still mostly off the table. Second, drones are big and expensive if they are carrying heavy ordinance. Plus, the US Navy has lasers now to quickly handle drones at many miles away, along with Phalanx for closer range. Hypersonic weapons with large payloads are probably the primary weapon that could make aircraft carriers obsolete, but nobody is quite there yet. Even so, lasers can affect them as well. Eventually, jet fighters / drones will need lasers to handle hypersonic weapons. But not yet there either. The main issue is getting close enough. The Navy now has long range drones in their carrier groups. In wartime, the US is going to destroy any enemy weapons, planes drones, or ships within 500 miles of an aircraft carrier group. About a dozen world militaries have ballistic missiles that have over 1000 KM range, but half of those are allies, and even so, the odds of not getting detected at long range and shot down by one of several layers of defense are slim.
Definitely false. Carriers travel in strike groups that can defend against subs very reliably, not to mention the sheer durability of them in the first place. In fact, when the US decided to scuttle an older Kitty Hawk class supercarrier in 2005 (the America), it took 4 weeks of taking many direct hits of torpedoes & missiles from a wide range of weapons and still didn't sink. They had to get manually place detonators at specific points all across the ship just to finally sink it... and that was a ship commissioned in 1965! Considering what goes into an aircraft carrier 2 generations removed from that & commissioned in the 2010's-2020's, it's pretty safe to say it'll take more than a sub to "take out the biggest carrier."
I'm proud to know the US has a formidable military mite. Still, do not compare us with the competition. Anything can happen in war. So best be quiet and not brag.
You are missing the most important aspect of US aircraft carrier dominance …. There are only 2 countries with extensive REAL large scale Carrier task force combat experience and thats the US and Japan. That combat experience is institutionalised and passed along generation to generation in both countries Naval Academies and this is the key to difference. China doesn’t stand a chance even if they build up their Aircraft Carrier numbers, they will face both the US and Japan in any open conflict and its GAME OVER. This isn’t speculation it’s confirmed by China Millitary Naval leadership who are much more realistic than their political counterparts.
"Game over" you mean like in Vietnam and Korea when the USA indirectly tried to take on China and got it's ass handed back to them in a basket ? These people are indefatigable, all the more so on a battle field. They are determined and super hard workers. Pretty hard to beat that. Look what they just built in China in the last 3 decades. I would never underestimate them. "Everyone has a plan , until they get punched in the mouth" ~~ Mike Tyson. In the end, you have to put boots on the ground and America has never done well in foreign land battles and never will. They don't even speak the language when they go to overseas missions. They are f'g tourists with guns. Maybe take the money being spent on these hyper expensive toys and start the work of bringing the troops up to speed on linguistics and cultural anthropology.
China couldn’t sustain a war. They can’t feed their own people. Their military is disjointed. They have a factionalized military and they do not have any real experience in any military conflicts. Trump already warned both the Russians and Chinese to not try anything. He himself told them in one of his speeches that we have things they have never seen before. Amazing things. I believe him. 50 plus years of black projects that no one knows what’s truly being developed. These politicians we have wouldn’t be told anything about them. For obvious reasons. But when these things are needed, they’ll be used.

That was interesting - the narrator was telling us about the nuclear reactors and we were looking at someone checking the oil level in a Diesel engine.
Ha ha ..you noticed that too.
I was shouting "Nooooooooooo............. DON'T DIP THE REACTORRRRRRRRRR........" looked like he was having a good sniff too.
This is clickbait 'content' at its best. Lots of video snippets barely related to the topic and some knucklehead reading copy he knows next to nothing about.
LOL, I commented on that too.
"A nuclear reactor is like a bomb, but not really" yeah, stunning commentary.
I had a friend who ran a nuclear power plant on a carrier (1 of 2 ) he said that they will go about 20 yrs before they need refueling and etc. that really is amazing, they say the subs are about the same. they usually have 2 because they need to go down on occasion. but 20 yrs without fuel is darn impressive. i think the value of nuclear is very under rated .
It's undervalued because of the risk it possesses. If one of those Subs or carriers sink, it'll cost a lot of money to either raise them from the sea bed or to cap them in concrete so their waste does not leak into the water way.
Edit: If interested, the Russian Kursk submarine was sunk in the Arctic and they're still having issues with it 20+ years later. Couple cool videos on the incident
It certainly is impressive...20+ years of energy stored but you also need to think about the other side of the equation.
Nuclear energy going to be the end off use there s be 100+ underground nuclear tests then there's the big concrete dome near bikini islands full off nuclear crap the USA left in case any general might read go you really need to go look at that dome the sea is hitting it as your doing nothing about it the rest off use will suffer when all that nuclear wast USA left gos into the sea
@@cris-vv1pn What are you even saying?
Nuclear has drawbacks and there is tech that rivals it depending how you use it.
Given human crews depend on regular "refuelling" that 20 year frame between refuels would be an real big advantage with automated systhems.
Then, reactors may run for 20 years with one fuel package, but the periphery needs maintance that can only done in an base, so it is relative too.
It is an impressive number, but as long you can not build everything else that plays into the whole to go on for 20 years too you can not really have an advantage.
That reactors can be run underwater at full power without the need to surface at all, that is the real advantage, not the 20 years, if they would run only one year or six month without refueling, that would make them as much an asset as 20 year refueling cycles.
the 20 years number is more to impress the civilians, but for the purpose they have, it does not really give an big advantage aside that you do not have to worry so much for fuel logistics.
Carriers need jet fuel that is the real limiting factor (even the best carbon based fuel go stale in matter of month)
Submarines need a pletora of refills on an monthly basis to work fine, if fully equiped you can stretch that to 3 or 4 month, then they are not fully operational anymore.

“Nuclear reactors are like Nuclear bombs… but not really” Well I’m glad to hear that!
Right, they want to destroy man.
Funny story, I was on a hill in Point Loma CA. watching a new aircraft carrier come into the Navy harbor base in San Diego. I was excited and kept clicking my camera getting pictures from every angle. My wife who was only mildly impressed said to me "come on, how many pictures do you need, its just a ship" A few moments later a guy was excited and wildly taking picture, after picture of the same carrier. followed by his wife saying, "why do you need so many pictures? My wife looked at me and said........... guess it must be a man thing.
Being at a elevated level looking down at one of these wonders of the world is a WOW moment.
I remember Point Loma well. It was always a point fix landmarker to guide us in the navy and mark our points for our fixes coming in and out of sand diego

Proud US citizen...Thank you USA.
As a Royal Navy veteran I served on a carrier in my early career and freely admit to green eyed envy of the USN carriers then and now. I'm afraid that there is going to be a time in the not too distant future when carriers will go the way of the old battleships as technology will render them obsolete. Russia and China are developing hypersonic missile systems that have the potential to be a clear threat to large ocean going vessels well away from the combat zone or area of interest. But until that time comes these beautiful beasts will always be there to serve and protect us and our allies freedom.
Fortunately, as Russia and China are developing hypersonic weapons the US has been for decades working on hypersonic counter-measures. The Israelis have benefited from US interception technology in the form of the Iron Dome. There are other more lethal weapons coming online that can track and down a hypersonic missile with the use of high-powered lasers.
Hypersonic missiles are not as effective at sea apparently because they can’t maneuver too well at long distance. Reason is as a missile travels it has to curve which is why we use the slower ones already. The missiles are too fast for that kind of shot. Carriers can perform their duty by getting aircraft near the area to take out the missile sites. But not getting too close where a hypersonic missile can be a threat. This came off an article I read which could be false ofc. But give me your thoughts
@@juliopena2098 another gap in my knowledge filled. Thank you.
They may be in development but thus far they have tested them only on stationery land targets with limited success..
It's a big leap to hit a fast moving carrier at several hundred or thousands of miles away..They need land based control as well as satalite , radar and GPS all working together in real time to hit the carrier..
They are not fire and forget missles.
They are not there yet..
Neither Russia or China are close at this point in doing that..
It's already obsolete Brit Buddy. The final wars will all be fought with nukes. What every free country needs to do is (very secretly) plant hidden nuclear- headed missile silos all over the earth. THEN show proof to the Chinese, Russians, Iranians, and N Koreans etc. The FEAR this will cause will hopefully prevent "The Big One". God save the Queen.....
Love those ships as a Merchant Marine.
I always enjoy working with US navy ships
My brother was a merchant Marine and serves on a funeral detail for the American legion now. I find it funny that when he started doing the funeral detail for the legion during the last few months of my active duty service in the military I was on military detail for funeral services while on active duty. I was originally part of the firing squad and then I elevated to being the commander of the firing squad. When I ETSd I actually had to train a guy who is twice my rank to take over my squad. I miss so extremely being on active duty.
Thanks for the update. I served on CVN-72. Would be great to get a tour of this class of carrier.

Quote: "Nuclear reactors that are like atomic bombs, but not really." end of quote. First, nuclear reactors are nothing like bombs. Reactor operates by sustained controlled fission of slightly enriched uranium, usually in the form of pellets embedded in zirconium set in rods and deposited with boron containing control rods in in the reactor core, fuel must be surrounded by the moderator in water-pressure reactors it is water and in RMBK - graphite. And so, the operation of the reactor is the right balance between the amount of active control rods, the coolant, the moderator, and the fuel. Fission gives huge amounts of thermal energy, a heat, that combined with water gives steam and steam drives turbines giving electricity.. Quite simple rules, right?. Far from a bomb which, in one of types can be set on the implosion lens, used to initiate a sudden fission of the fission material - highly enriched plutonium - as a highly unstable material, it is easily subjected to rapid fission, generating a huge amounts of energy in a sudden and uncontrolled burst. So it is not even close to each other, huh? To whom have you prepared your clip, for children in age up to 6? Cos level of your text is like that.
Also the A1 reactors are far "from the most powerful"
I was with the marine air wing contingent on the USS Nimitz back in 1975. Impressive vessel.

Wouldn't food be the biggest limiting factor?
@@garystarr9176 no food is loaded at sea
@@garystarr9176 when they have everything stored food wouldn't be the issue nor anything else because military rations can actually last for years on the shelf. We have what's called MREs meals ready to eat back in the old days of the 40s and 50s they were called C rations which meant canned rations. MREs some of them are absolutely delicious others are completely disgusting LOL. My favorite was beef stew or the chicken and rice. There was one that took me over 3 years before I would try it and it's the omelet with ham. I just couldn't imagine packaged egg tasting good but it was actually quite delicious. But military rations are made to give us enough energy even if we only have one a day instead of three meals one MRE can sustain us with zero problems. As I said already they last for years obviously when unopened. I find it kind of comical the first time I experienced anything that had a massive shelf life was when I was on missionary work in Labrador. They had these leader sized cardboard boxes of milk that could last for over 6 months without souring and it was true milk not something synthetic. It tasted like normal milk. But to reiterate a supercarrier staying out at sea for a decade or more has no issues when it comes to the food unless the sailors don't like what they're being served and want to mess with the cooks LOL. The super carriers are actually like a small City they even have their own post office. Not just a a little postal department it's considered an actual post office. Granted the report and studies I did were decades ago and it might have changed since then but it doesn't seem logical to think it would especially since they've only grown bigger. The sailor compliment back then was over 3,000 and some over 5,000 for a supercarrier. They're an amazing beast. I wasn't Abrams tanker and they are also one badass machine. Even without the bullets they are a lot of fun. The engine is a jet turbine just like in any plane that flies around the world. It takes 12 gallons of fuel just to start it. Normally there is an engine governor keeping it at 45 mph or less I've had mine one of mine I should say 10 miles over that. Without the governor that 77 ton beauty can do 95 miles an hour. When you get to go as fast as you can in them it is one hell of a rush.
@Repent to Jesus Christ! The NIV is one of the worst translations of the scriptures because it's inaccurate and summarizes crap leaving out details that are extremely important. I probably have more information than any priest minister or Reverend or pastor you've ever met because I have done extensive and I mean years of extensive research into the scriptures. I am not a bible thumper and unfortunately I have not been able to spread the gospel enough to be able to quote many verses anymore. But I probably have more knowledge than you could imagine about the scriptures and God's ordination and decrees. Don't challenge me when it comes to scripture I will bury you. My faith is as unwavering as the sun and just as hot.
Also you don't repent to Jesus you, you repent to the one he repented to and that is God whereas Christ was the only begotten son. Traditional Christians of both Catholic and Protestant faith always talk about following the path that Christ led us to yet instead of doing what he did they worship him whereas he worshiped Our Father. They try to defend the belief in eternity when you actually do research and learn the truth you find out that the idea and concept of a trinity is of pagan belief not of any level of Judaism and the subsequent Christianity. The entire concept of the Trinity didn't exist until after 325 years after Christ's death. It was at the council of nicea when they created the concept and implemented it into the Eastern Roman empire and Christianity. The original Christian people saw God as one entity and Christ as another and the holy Spirit as the force by which God makes his will happen. Christ is called the master of creation because of the power that was granted to him by the father whose name in Hebrew is Yahweh and in English it's Jehovah. So you repent through Christ like he was an operator on the phone but you repent to God himself not his son. Christ isn't the forgiver he's the Redeemer giving his life by his father's decree, if you remember he prayed to God asking for it not to happen but he was willing to do it anyway so that any one of us might gain everlasting life. But it is Jehovah God that forgives us upon judgment Day. Dividing us as goats to his left and sheep to his right and those to his right may be granted gracious everlasting life. Don't challenge me I will bury you when it comes to scripture. You can quote a multitude of versus like most church people do while ignoring a multitude of others that define the truth of God's love. To put it into an analogy if God has an order for us that takes 35 verses to explain it you must read all 35 to get the accurate knowledge and direction. But the traditional churches of protestantism and Catholicism read about 15 or 20 sometimes even 25 repeatedly over and over and over. But without the remaining verses you only have a semblance of truth the scriptures warn us about that the false ones will have a semblance of Truth. You can never negate the entire word of God by selecting a few verses here and there.

Apparently the principle benefits are that it requires less fresh water (No steam), supposedly easier and cheaper to maintain (Believe that when I hear it over time though it is possible), it's supposedly quicker to recharge and fire allowing for more frequent launches upping the sortie/day numbers, and that it can be dialed in more exactly in terms of the force needed so while it can still launch heavy planes it can also be dialed back to launch lighter drones without damaging them.
So far it's apparently had reliability issues, breaking more often than the Steam catapults. Where that is in being addressed, I don't know.
Just an FYI, the latest carrier in the Ford class capable of flight ops is CVN-78 which is the Ford. The JFK, CVN-79 is not currently operable. It is still being built.

@Bullseye November 2021 the ship was still under construction and USNI reported that parts from the ship were being removed and sent to the USS Ford to replace broken parts on the Ford.

I hauled from Long Beach, CA port 2 experimental F-22 Raptor fighter jet engines to a secret Navel testing site in the middle of a swamp in South Carolina. The engines barely fit into my 53ft semi trailer. This place was unmarked. No vehicles anywhere. I rang the doorbell. A scientist in a white lab coat told me to leave my doors closed and back into that only dock when the door opened. He closed it. As I got out of my truck. Two more guys in lab coats opened my doors and began unloading those engines. This place was full of jet and C-130 simulator's and so many other future Air force equipment. Fascinating stuff.

Possibly, but they each have 3-4 subs defending it and this super one would probably have its own iron dome like missle/torpedo defence system, it would be extremely difficult but not impossible to destroy it

Was exactly 50 yr ago...our longest time "on the line"...49 days straight. The only time "off" was during a launch. The rest of the day (14-16 hrs...was tieing down planes during a recovery. When that was over...we untied the jets and freed up the bow for the next launch.
Russia isn't slacking off. It is unlikely they would ever fight anywhere in the Americas. The need for carriers isn't a priority. Land bases aircraft can do the job. Now with hypersonic missiles will be a game changer. Rendering surface ships in a real problem. As there is no defense against them. A hit from one of them can take out a small city without any warhead. China too has this capability.

After the carrier came the supercarrier. After the supercarrier comes the superduper carrier, after the superduper carrier comes the superduper mega carrier, after the superduper mega carrier comes the superduper mega ludicrous carrier!
The best aircraft carrier ever would be able to submerge. Imagine not being able to find it... after It just launched 90 fighters into the air, then submerges. Imagine if the deck could be the only thing above the water, at times, keeping visibility to a minimum.
Imagine PEACE ON EARTH

Imagine not being able to find it, that's what the pilot said, sitting in his underground bunker in front of a computer located in area 73 that nobody can find.
Russia has so tiny usable port areas. In Baltic sea, it is hard to go to the Atlantic ocean because of danish straits. And sea route from Black sea to Mediterranean is blocked by NATO country Turkey. In North Arctic ocean is mostly covered by sea ice. And on the Asian side, Russia has hardly any factories there and lots of sea ice comes there too. So, Russia has very few naval bases that can really work all the time. Using submarines is wiser, just because they may avoid contact to the enemy even in narrow places that Russia often has.
In US there are lots of ports and possible routes to the sea where enemies has hard time to do anything. If US doesn't have enough marine vessels, then enemies may land on several lightly protected areas. So USA needs its carriers., while ie. Russia doesn't need them.
Also Russia's land borders are crowded with enemies (you may argue that its their own fault) while USA has mostly allies and only 2 countries on its land based borders. So their armies will have very different things to handle when they prepare for war.
They figure they can use hypersonic missiles to get some parity. That tech is not mature yet though and the US is getting theirs
Russia doesn't need carriers ? Ahahaha
I was on the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy CV-67 from '84 - '88. The predecessor to this JFK. I was also on the U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. Also served on a couple of subs as well.
Thank you for your service. Retired Navy Veteran.

Largest Floating Targets !
Add in placements for rail guns, high energy lasers being tested. That helps future proof the new class of super carrier (Gerald Ford Class). Also, more subs have been outfitted with aerial drones that can be used to take out guidance systems near shore where anti-ship installations are often placed. Between that and 3rd gen stealth fighters there is really no adversary in the same category. Hypersonic is not yet functional and Russia/China love to brag about their capabilities whereas U.S. keeps quiet but keeps developing so any serious conflict would be unpleasantly surprising to the U.S. adversary. Russia likes to think they can compete militarily, but they are decades behind in technology and their air force is a joke with much of it mothballed or being used for spare parts. China is mainly looking to compete economically and believes that is the route to dominance. They may be right but it's the long game and nothing to worry about in the short term.
Agreed. It amazes me sometimes how people think a country with the GDP of Italy can match the US. China is much more formidable, but their airforce needs better jet engines in their aircraft than poor facsimiles of Russian design. Their stealth aircraft designs are highly suspect, and their subs are not very good. They are investing in missiles because of these deficiencies, which in turn makes them very one dimensional. Their reliance on Area Denial will leave them extremely vulnerable outside that area. And for a country that can't feed itself, and is heavily reliant on trade and fishing fleets, those are some pretty significant red flags.
I just hope drones and hypersonic missiles don’t make warships marginalized or even obsolete.
I think that Russia is a regional land power concerned principally with its border and some of the old USSR countries. Russia is self sufficient and is one of , if not the only country that spans two continents- both Europe and Asia. While Russia could be regionally aggressive and diplomaticallly global in influence : Russia has its defense against Western Europe, the Middle Eastern Turkmen republics and China on its plate. A large land area to defend with no sea front in most of Europe and Asia. The USA is a 'projector' of power and is without any enemies that can attack it over land successfully and hence the USA can build Carriers and Submarines in greater number and quantity to project influence.
Fighting against Germany and Japan with Allied power and support is one thing. Fighting against A Russian military might that can overwhelm much of eastern Europe, and have more land space, to buffer Foreign attack is something to consider. Now picture having to attack the largest country in the world add possible allies like China and Some Asian and Arab states. Let's see how effective your carriers will be. THERE WILL BE NO WINNERS. Maybe none of your carriers will make it back you your shores.

@@nigegibbs4547 I would pose this question. Why was Stalin so desperate and begging for the allied invasion of Western Europe if he could win on his own? Also Lend Lease helped Russia stay in it until they could build what they needed in adequate amounts and designs. And where was the USSR in the Pacific theater? They fought a one front war. A Herculean effort and their contribution in WW2 and the cost they bore are immense, but they couldn't do what the US did, which was wage war in a dominating fashion across multiple theaters. Something that is still true today. Russia has the GDP of Italy. They couldn't sustain what you are suggesting.

Awesome power, super carriers have a whole battle group that surrounds them. It's like having an American base anywhere on the planet. They are as intimidating as it gets.
So true. I remember encountering one whilst on holiday in Corfu in the 90s while the Balkan conflict was raging. I was visiting the island’s capital, a medieval town of narrow winding streets, walking towards the harbour when, emerging into the open, I was totally dumbstruck by the sight of the carrier, towering over the town like some enormous, out of scale, alien mothership had landed. I think my jaw literally hit the floor. Easily one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen, man-made at least, especially when contrasted with the Lilliputian surroundings of the ancient town

Russia (or anyone, for that matter) sinking an American nuclear-class aircraft carrier is the equivalent of declaring full-on nuclear war.
@@userjlj you need to think again. A supersonic missile coming down at 10X speed of sound is able to penetrate the carrier even without any explosive. US is not capable of or unwilling to simulate that result.

The U.S. should be deploying less expensive (non-nuclear) aircraft carriers which wouldn’t be so expensive that only U.S. ally’s without deep pockets can afford to buy and deploy now that the STOL F-35C is available for carrier use. This would make sense for various NATO and ASEAN navies including Australia, South Korea and many other. More decks are more important than a few $13 Billion monster aircraft carriers.
Ikr. Actually they should have stopped building more 25 years ago. I dont see much difference except more planes but considering that weapons nowadays are autonomous and can be launched from thousands of miles away they make this carrier virtually useless. Even in dogfights those hornets are not as capable as f 15s, f16s, & f22s which are not carrier based aircrafts. I’m
The F-35C is not STOL.
The Marine Corp and RN F-35B's are STOVL, and incur significant reduction in payload and range as a result of the compromises made to turn the F-35 into a true STOVL platform
Sorry, but wouldn't using midget aircraft carriers restrict the kind of planes they could use? The Royal Navy used small carriers in the Falklands War, which meant they could only use jump jets. Although the British won that war, there must be scenarios where you need a different fighter.
@@sanjivjhangiani3243 you are right. Do countries want to face what GB faced in the Flaklands? No

Russia decided they couldn't compete with us carrier-wise, and sold at least one of theirs to China. Sending soldiers and/or weapons to places like Syria better served their purposes.
Very true. Russia has directed their cash spend on weapons to defense of Russia, they don't need aircraft carriers if they don't want to project their force in far away places.

I have had kinfolk & neighbors work at, "the Shipyard", in Newport News where these carriers are built. The Ford class was aptly named, bc it is , thus far, an inept lame duck just like its namesake.
If the fundamental problems are not soon remedied, then it will be the biggest embarrassment to us since Pearl Harbor. It is a vessel, built of steel, by the hand of man. What one man builds, another can destroy. Just present the honest facts, without the dishonest propaganda / spin.

The tumbnail looks like a star wars star destroyer
Interesting how many people assume there are no defenses for anti carrier measures factored in to the carrier itself and it's armada of escorts, not to mention the aircraft it carries.
One Poseidon = one carrier group.
@@badlandskid the Poseidon is probably fake. Anyway it doesn’t do more then a ICBM or maybe a few would do.
If you wanna use nukes no ships got a change. But then again using a Poseidon as an nuclear armed ICBM would result in an nuclear response. That would most likely result in an MAD scenario.
So it parasitically useless, as anything besides being an nuclear deterrence, if it’s even real in the first place.

The US is maintaining world order and balance as well.
Carriers replaced battleships. But a submarine can take out the biggest carrier. So perhaps its time to give up on naval power and switch to drones. They can be operated from across the globe and are very inexpensive so losing one is no big deal.
Not quite yet.
First off, submarines are tracked very efficiently these days. The days of subs being totally invisible are mostly gone. The US knows the approximate location of nearly all subs in the world at any given time and they track them closely. An anti-sub helicopter can chase down an enemy sub that gets too close. And nuclear weapons are still mostly off the table.
Second, drones are big and expensive if they are carrying heavy ordinance. Plus, the US Navy has lasers now to quickly handle drones at many miles away, along with Phalanx for closer range.
Hypersonic weapons with large payloads are probably the primary weapon that could make aircraft carriers obsolete, but nobody is quite there yet. Even so, lasers can affect them as well. Eventually, jet fighters / drones will need lasers to handle hypersonic weapons. But not yet there either.
The main issue is getting close enough. The Navy now has long range drones in their carrier groups. In wartime, the US is going to destroy any enemy weapons, planes drones, or ships within 500 miles of an aircraft carrier group. About a dozen world militaries have ballistic missiles that have over 1000 KM range, but half of those are allies, and even so, the odds of not getting detected at long range and shot down by one of several layers of defense are slim.
Definitely false.
Carriers travel in strike groups that can defend against subs very reliably, not to mention the sheer durability of them in the first place. In fact, when the US decided to scuttle an older Kitty Hawk class supercarrier in 2005 (the America), it took 4 weeks of taking many direct hits of torpedoes & missiles from a wide range of weapons and still didn't sink.
They had to get manually place detonators at specific points all across the ship just to finally sink it... and that was a ship commissioned in 1965! Considering what goes into an aircraft carrier 2 generations removed from that & commissioned in the 2010's-2020's, it's pretty safe to say it'll take more than a sub to "take out the biggest carrier."
I'm proud to know the US has a formidable military mite. Still, do not compare us with the competition. Anything can happen in war. So best be quiet and not brag.
Crazy how five off'em bow to stern would be almost a mile long.
Thak you from a Airedale who served on the carriers America, Constellation, and Kitty Hawk!
You are missing the most important aspect of US aircraft carrier dominance …. There are only 2 countries with extensive REAL large scale Carrier task force combat experience and thats the US and Japan. That combat experience is institutionalised and passed along generation to generation in both countries Naval Academies and this is the key to difference. China doesn’t stand a chance even if they build up their Aircraft Carrier numbers, they will face both the US and Japan in any open conflict and its GAME OVER. This isn’t speculation it’s confirmed by China Millitary Naval leadership who are much more realistic than their political counterparts.
"Game over" you mean like in Vietnam and Korea when the USA indirectly tried to take on China and got it's ass handed back to them in a basket ? These people are indefatigable, all the more so on a battle field. They are determined and super hard workers. Pretty hard to beat that. Look what they just built in China in the last 3 decades. I would never underestimate them. "Everyone has a plan , until they get punched in the mouth" ~~ Mike Tyson. In the end, you have to put boots on the ground and America has never done well in foreign land battles and never will. They don't even speak the language when they go to overseas missions.
