Enterprise was the prototype Nuclear powered Super Carrier, the lessons learned from Enterprise was incorporated into the Nimitz class. The enterprise was a much different ship then the Nimitz class ships.
@kdrapertrucker You are partially right. CVN65 was a prototype but was the lead ship in what was to be 5 ships. Cost over runs lead to 2 conventional ships. The America and the Kennedy. In a way the Nimitz was also a prototype being that it was the lead ship of its class
As I understand it, CVN 65 was a bit of a nightmare to maintain. the Nimitz was sort of redesigned based on those expensive lessons. typical cost of progress I suppose. but the Nimitz class did have a good solid run.
@@dwaynentinabunt1200 CVN 65 was not a "nightmare" to maintain, but the fact that she had 8 reactors led to a much larger expense in nuclear trained crew than a Nimitz/Ford class carrier does.

I think the United States Navy needs to have 15 aircraft carriers with a 16th in mothballs aka reserve fleet ready to be reactivated in 6 months. So that the USN is to be ready to defend Taiwan from Chinese invasion. I also think that a total of 15 to 20 wasp and America class Amphibious assault helicopter carriers are needed too.
Yeah, I am in favor of peace through fire superiority. But how are you going to pay for it ? It is not just a matter of paying for the ship, but all of its upkeep and crew payroll. The Navy is already falling way short of its recruiting for existing assets. Where are you going to get the extra manpower ?
Pretty sure USS Enterprise CVN 65 was a 1 of and first CVN built. The USS Nimitz CVN 68 was a totally different CVN and first of the Nimitz class, correct me if I'm wrong.
I'm not putting the Ford or the Kennedy down but without an Enterprise I feel like America is standing out in the middle of the street with out zipper down. I feel much better when the BIG E has out back. Please hurry Newport News america need Enterprise.
Changing radar systems, to an arguably inferior one, to save $180 million, on a ship that costs $12.5 to $18 billion, seems really stupid, especially since there aren’t very many such ships, and they are so incredibly important. They should use the absolute best equipment available, regardless of the cost.
Navy should start thinking about dry docking for repairs and building. Next is rethinking mothballed fleets finding out what ships 🚢 can be upgraded to modern warfare which would save billions of dollars on the taxpayers.
We need to revamp the design [no tumblehome] of the Zumwalt's into something to replace the Ticonderoga's. Something with a few EM rail guns. Apparently Ticonderoga's are not upgradeable and both Obama and Biden wanted them eliminated so we're left with only a few now. That would be a nice little jobs program and get US Steel working again along with starting the next Ford class ahead of schedule. I heard Trump talking about redesign of the littorals but they have been a massive waste of effort and dollars. Just go with the new frigate design FFG62 and bring it forward. Other than that lets leverage drone tech; Q-58, 170, Q-47B and fill out the SMIII-2A and SM6. And one more thing Santa, we want lasers too now.
only a couple docks left, so dry docking slows down development and with the navy as the only customer, are astronomical to run. mothballed stuff was done so for a reason; they are worthless but it's not politically acceptable to destroy all those $ and too dangerous to let foreign ship breakers have at them, and embarrassing to us to see how much we've wasted. we'd sell them if there were any takers and they are not.
I served on CV-67 USS JFK for 2 full cruises as a AMH-3 and a work up on the Forrestal. I was a flight deck troubleshooter and I loved my job. We own the sea.
Given the the lessons being learned in Ukraine, I think we need a whole new brand of carrier that can launch massive amounts of drones. Sea to land/sea/air, and a force of drone to drone interceptors.
easily done adding a module in the bay and sending up packages via the weapons elevator. likely better to retrofit it to a support ship that can also go out sans carrier.
F-18 A/B is one of the best multi role interceptor. Im Canadian so little biased here lol. We have 85 of the A/B Variants of the CF-18 with speed of mach 1.8 and long range 3400. Canada being a big ass country like the US needed a fast jet that is more than capable still today. Canada ordered 88 F-35s Lightning IIs, and I say keep both going or at least half them CF-18s.
I saw a video for a Chinese light show at night. Instead of fireworks, drones are used now. Anyways, that show in the video had 1500 drones working together displaying different light colors in the night sky to make one large image. Truly amazing if you haven't seen it. But also scary at the same time as it shows the capabilities for modern drone warfare at the same time. Imagine that technology used against a carrier group today. But armed with explosives instead of lights.
No need, we have ice breakers already, nuclear power is not needed in ice breakers, it would be an unnecessary expense for little more then a pointless status symbol.
i have to go with brianmutcher 9585 ,15 aircraft carriers would about right. we would need 2 in mothballs aka in reserve. we also need 18 wasp class amphibious helicopter carriers.
I would think that the growth of the Chinese maritime fleet is being over-stated. I think that each of our massive aircraft carriers are the equivalent of a fleet of 100 Chinese coastal marine ships by themselves….through their aircraft and smart weapons.
I am suprised, that yet to build a tripod aircarft carrier, with hydrofoil assit, so they can be alot faster, potentiall more stable, smaller, potentiall wider...
@@kdrapertruckerwhat if they turned against us and used our technology to fight us back it wouldn't work. That's why the raptor stayed in the states. The F- 35 isn't as good as the F-22 so it was sold so other allies could get stealth and start manufacturing there own varient of the new 6th gen fighters.
Tripod aircarft carrier, could even have docking points for 3 submarines, to further proper it or prop it up as backup, or wepons loading, refuling, or assit in damage, partial refloating or keeping alot float as an assit.
I saw your other comment on hydrofoils, partially the reason that they don’t do that is because it would be extremely difficult to do that on a ship that displays over 100,000 tons of water, not to mention the carriers are already the fastest thing in the fleet, and on top of that it would greatly decrease your maneuvering capability, not to mention it would be extremely expensive and there’s really no reason to. And submarines travel with the carrier strike groups, and all of our submarines and aircraft carriers are all nuclear powered. submarines don’t keep any fuel on them so there would be no way for them to refuel the aircraft carriers. And if a carrier sinks, submarines don’t have nearly enough buoyancy to lift them up, so it would really be pointless, not to mention most boats have many watertight compartments, not to mention pumps to deal with flooding, so you’d be able to limit the flooding and pump the water out
They should make 11 of each class since they are required to have 11 in service at all times. So ford did not replace any of the 10 Nimitz class but Kennedy will replace one. And I will not try to guess the order of retirements. It wont be based just on age they will likely take out much younger CVs that are due for the 2 billion dollar refueling ordeal.
Well I'm not as optimistic as you seem to be about them surviving and still being able to launch planes. Damaged carrier deck isn't much use with holes in it. And that is a lot of pilots that are going have to go into the drink. Remember tanks were all that and a bag of chips until the Ukraine war. But we may see soon enough.
Where di you learn your math. At 35 mph, the ship can only move 52.5 mile in 90 minutes. Of course, its airplanes can extend its reach well beyond that, but no current airplane sited on an aircraft carrier can fly 4,000 mph.
I have news for you. That may be her cruising speed but she is capable of much more. I was on The Big "E" in 72 when the Tet offensive way violated.

My comments carry only the weight of history. Battleships were the end all in WWll. those large guns could stand miles offshore and bring an entire era to ruin. Then aircraft sank the Bismark and the largest Japanese battleship ever built, the Yamamoto. Aircraft carriers by their very nature are mobile airfields. They bring a very real distant deterrent close with its airplanes, but meanwhile vulnerable to both under water (subs)and over the horizon rocket attack. In spite of being self-defendable with new Teknowledgy and associated support ships, they like the WWll Battleships they are large sitting targets. I think this is multibillions for an outdated system. In a real contest, these craft, ours and there's will be the first to go. Their value exists as a deterrent and useful to lesser aggressive Nations. Find a better Naval use.

Suggesting our Readiness to deploy and defend the Free World against all enemies foreign and domestic, has never been further from the truth than it is today; our botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan proved that beyond every reasonable doubt. Every high-ranking Officer involved in the planning and execution of the withdrawal should have immediately been relieved of Command. Instead, they were brought back home and questioned by Senators who haven't a clue how to address and evaluate Readiness. America has never been weaker to defend our way of life than we are today.
Why would you use such an insulting name for a warship? No ships should be named after politicians. Go back to the classic naming convention. Carriers named after battles and early navy warships, cruisers after American cities, destroyers after notable Navy and Marines personnel.
There may be a few in PORT for things (mostly maintenance, not repairs), but there's only one in DRY DOCK right now, and that is the early construction phases of CVN 80 that isn't even counted into the overall USN carrier numbers at this point. Why even put this complete bs claim out in the public?
We build new carriers cause we need them they wear out just like a car you need. a new one after a while yeah we have some in drydock but if a war popped up they would get ready in a hurry we have enough running now to handle anyone that wants a try the usa. has a very large aircraft fleet and even if we don't have carriers in the area we can get a lot of airpower there very fast jets can get there in a hurry if needed with all the firepower we need and a jet can run down any ship
1. To stop China doing what. You are in their sea, they are not in the Gulf coast. 2. Your aircraft carriers are built via capitalism meaning they coast VASTLY more than a nation using not for profit production methods under a more socialist economic system which incidentally is also why the Russians are able to out produce the collective west in armaments. 3. In the time it takes what little is left of US manufacturing capacity to produce one of these massively expensive floating paperweights in the modern age, China that produces ten times the steel per year America produces and has more production capacity than the USA and EU combined, could build an entire fleet. 4. I say paperweight because a single hypersonic missile could sink it and there is not a damned thing between it and God above that can prevent that. War has changed alright, but not in favour of slow cumbersome aircraft carriers with ZERO defence against missiles moving in excess of seven thousand miles an hour complete with countermeasures and general avoidance systems. These things are built to please handfuls of rich investors not to secure the homeland, indeed that is the precise opposite task they are put to most of the time. 5. During the cold war it was primarily the USA that was the aggressor and it did so for the benefit of capitalism not of democracy nor freedom, as Americas most highly decorated Marine in its history General Smedley Butler attested to when he called himself and his former career one of being a gangster for capitalism that out did al Capone.
@@douglasjaeger1559 You mean like the US did with masses of British technology during their rise, yeah tends to be how it works. It should also be noted that vast amounts of western technology was not Stolen by China but was given to them by western capitalists over the last 45 years as a quid pro quo for access to cheaper Chinese workers and materials allowing for those western capitalists to profit massively from selling out their originator nations in the west, as capitalism incentivised be done and rewarded the doing of. Small Chinese companies were set up along side big western corporations who abandoned their nations for China, and they transferred and still transfer masses of technologies to these Chinese companies which fast forward over 40 to 50 years and those small companies are now commercial technological giants like Xaomi, Huawei, AliExpress, etc where by today they don't have any need to copy our technologies as they are now more than capable of producing their own variants from the ground up which is why their 5G technology for example is cheaper to implement than US 5G and is more energy efficient with it being an entirely Chinese designed and built affair entirely different to the US's more expensive less energy efficient version. For one of many examples.

My comments carry only the weight of history. Battleships were the end all in WWll. those large guns could stand miles offshore and bring an entire era to ruin. Then aircraft sank the Bismark and the largest Japanese battleship ever built, the Yamamoto. Aircraft carriers by their very nature are mobile airfields. They bring a very real distant deterrent close with its airplanes, but meanwhile vulnerable to both under water (subs)and over the horizon rocket attack. In spite of being self-defendable with new Teknowledgy and associated support ships, they like the WWll Battleships they are large sitting targets. I think this is multibillions for an outdated system. In a real contest, these craft, ours and there's will be the first to go. Their value exists as a deterrent and useful to lesser aggressive Nations. Find a better Naval use.
How much dam carriers do they need
They've been shooting for about 12 (not including amphibious ships) since the 80s. They have about a 50 year life.

All of the above are subject to being redeployed to hot spots like we have now in the middle east Ukraine China's increasing influence may skew this in the future
@6:24 during the keel laying ceremony... WHO is holding the Keel Laying flag? SUNDONG? Is that Chinese, Japanese? You say it's in Norfolk Virginia, if that is the case who are these Asian people?
Sondong shipbuilding is a South Korean comany

Suggesting our Readiness to deploy and defend the Free World against all enemies foreign and domestic, has never been further from the truth than it is today; our botched military withdrawal from Afghanistan proved that beyond every reasonable doubt.
Every high-ranking Officer involved in the planning and execution of the withdrawal should have immediately been relieved of Command.
Instead, they were brought back home and questioned by Senators who haven't a clue how to address and evaluate Readiness.
America has never been weaker to defend our way of life than we are today.

CVN-82 the "Barrack Obama" !!!
Why would you use such an insulting name for a warship? No ships should be named after politicians. Go back to the classic naming convention. Carriers named after battles and early navy warships, cruisers after American cities, destroyers after notable Navy and Marines personnel.
9 of the 11 carriers they have are currently in dry dock awaiting repairs, why build another one ?
Can you show me where you get this information?
There may be a few in PORT for things (mostly maintenance, not repairs), but there's only one in DRY DOCK right now, and that is the early construction phases of CVN 80 that isn't even counted into the overall USN carrier numbers at this point. Why even put this complete bs claim out in the public?
We build new carriers cause we need them they wear out just like a car you need. a new one after a while yeah we have some in drydock but if a war popped up they would get ready in a hurry we have enough running now to handle anyone that wants a try the usa. has a very large aircraft fleet and even if we don't have carriers in the area we can get a lot of airpower there very fast jets can get there in a hurry if needed with all the firepower we need and a jet can run down any ship
The Enterprise CVN-65 was not a Nimitz class carrier. It was a single class ship.
Oh look- a traitorous bot👀🤖💩
1. To stop China doing what. You are in their sea, they are not in the Gulf coast.
2. Your aircraft carriers are built via capitalism meaning they coast VASTLY more than a nation using not for profit production methods under a more socialist economic system which incidentally is also why the Russians are able to out produce the collective west in armaments.
3. In the time it takes what little is left of US manufacturing capacity to produce one of these massively expensive floating paperweights in the modern age, China that produces ten times the steel per year America produces and has more production capacity than the USA and EU combined, could build an entire fleet.
4. I say paperweight because a single hypersonic missile could sink it and there is not a damned thing between it and God above that can prevent that. War has changed alright, but not in favour of slow cumbersome aircraft carriers with ZERO defence against missiles moving in excess of seven thousand miles an hour complete with countermeasures and general avoidance systems. These things are built to please handfuls of rich investors not to secure the homeland, indeed that is the precise opposite task they are put to most of the time.
5. During the cold war it was primarily the USA that was the aggressor and it did so for the benefit of capitalism not of democracy nor freedom, as Americas most highly decorated Marine in its history General Smedley Butler attested to when he called himself and his former career one of being a gangster for capitalism that out did al Capone.
An important reason our enemies can produce weapons quicker than us is they don’t have to develop anything, rather they just copy our’s.
@@douglasjaeger1559 You mean like the US did with masses of British technology during their rise, yeah tends to be how it works.
It should also be noted that vast amounts of western technology was not Stolen by China but was given to them by western capitalists over the last 45 years as a quid pro quo for access to cheaper Chinese workers and materials allowing for those western capitalists to profit massively from selling out their originator nations in the west, as capitalism incentivised be done and rewarded the doing of.
Small Chinese companies were set up along side big western corporations who abandoned their nations for China, and they transferred and still transfer masses of technologies to these Chinese companies which fast forward over 40 to 50 years and those small companies are now commercial technological giants like Xaomi, Huawei, AliExpress, etc where by today they don't have any need to copy our technologies as they are now more than capable of producing their own variants from the ground up which is why their 5G technology for example is cheaper to implement than US 5G and is more energy efficient with it being an entirely Chinese designed and built affair entirely different to the US's more expensive less energy efficient version. For one of many examples.
does it go into space
