You're absolutely correct in your apprehension about smart weapons, because if satellites 📡 are destroyed 🛰️ the weapons won't work at all. The nuclear missiles, ships, subs, and tanks won't be able to fire either, because they won't be able to aim and hit a target. We still have some museum ships that are analogue, but nothing commissioned. Not only that, but sea fairing vessels all switched to GPS guidance and are no longer on the old system, that taking out satellites would do a lot of damage. I like how well you analyze data; you did a great job with this video.

We now have two operational ford class carriers in the waters and a brand new ship to replace some other ships in the fleet. The ford class is a behemoth but adds a new laser defense system to stop missiles and small boats. The ford class also was completely redesigned on the interior to allow ammunition to bypass a lot of the halls directly into the main hangar. The kitchen was also redesigned to be easily supplied by its own corridor. The plane launch system was completely overhauled from a steam launcher to an electro magnetic launcher, it’s similar to how maglev trains work. It’s very efficient and there’s still room for upgrades if they want. It’s the current pinnacle of military engineering.

Actually the newest jewel in the crown is the SR-72 brand new off the research table. It was nicknamed Darkstar for its impossible to detect nature. This plane is a direct descendant of the legendary SR-71 blackbird spy plane that could operate on the edge of the atmosphere. The SR-72 can actually fly in space and do missions that its predecessor could not. It’s also a lot faster going at least 4 times the speed of sound compared to the blackbird’s Mach 1. The SR 71 is currently in Washington DC at the air and space museum but also at the museum of aviation in Ohio I believe.

Actually a carrier is plain impossible to sink on its own. It’s designed in such a way that it can easily tank damage. It can take a direct missile hit without sinking. A decade ago a carrier was to be turned into an artificial reef and it was hit by all American guns and missiles plus it was good practice for every sailor on board. Not a single piece of ammunition sunk it at all, it remained floating even heavily damaged the ship refused to sink. It took a demolition team six hours to place explosives below the waterline and blow holes to finally sink the carrier. It taught sailors a lot of vital lessons about how to fight and what to do next.

I bet a Nuclear torpedo could destroy a US aircraft carrier. The Poseidon (Russian: Посейдон, "Poseidon", GRAU index 2M39, NATO reporting name Kanyon), previously known by Russian codename Status-6 (Russian: Статус-6), is an autonomous, nuclear-powered unmanned underwater vehicle reportedly in production by Rubin Design Bureau, capable of delivering both conventional and nuclear warheads.[1][5][6] The Poseidon is one of the six new Russian strategic weapons announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin on 1 March 2018.[7] The Poseidon warhead can contaminate a large area with radiation. For this purpose, the Poseidon is speculated to be equipped with a cobalt bomb.[21][22] The Poseidon could be a radiological second strike weapon.[23][24] Normal (not salted) thermonuclear weapons cause radioactive fallout primarily through neutron activation of material at the detonation site. Unless the detonation happens at low depths in shallow waters, an underwater detonation will have its fallout greatly reduced, except for at the surface immediately above, near the base surge. Much of the radioactivity will be deposited in the sea, and be carried by ocean currents.[25] Water (and air) will not form radioisotopes suitable for radiological warfare when neutron activated, however the seawater-salt will, and the seabed may. If used against an aircraft carrier battle group, the battle group would have reduced chances of defending itself against it. The drone could detonate its very large warhead at standoff range, and anti-submarine warfare units would have very little time to react because of the speed at which it travels.[26]
