Incredible Reasons Why US Navy Aircraft Carriers are Almost Impossible to Sink

US aircraft carriers are state of the art weapons of war, designed to be nearly unsinkable, and today we are going to prove it. Check out today's epic new military video where we countdown the top 10 reasons US Navy aircraft carriers are so crazy hard to take out!

What’s craziest to me is that the largest boat (or at least among) in the world is also one of the fastest. That’s a crazy amount of power

[@Roonasaur]

Simple physics. Nothing this big will ever "get up on plane" like ski boats do. Any boat or ship trying to go fast forms both a bow wave and a stern wave. As the ship speeds up, these waves increase in length until they match and merge with each other. Then, basically, the boat is riding in the valley between these waves, and to go any faster means they have to climb up hill over that bow wave, but they can't . . . and so, because larger ships make bigger, longer-wavelength waves, and longer-wavelength waves travel faster . . . longer ships can travel faster than shorter ones.

The whole "they thought Titanic was unsinkable" thing didn't happen until after she sank. They didn't design her to be unsinkable. They designed her to be the hardest civilian ship to sink in peace time. And, for a ship sailing in 1912, they succeeded. Also, the Japanese knew the Yamato wasn't unsinkable. It's why she was rarely used and why her last mission was a suicide one. She was to beach herself in the Philippines and act like a Japanese fort, shelling targets until the Americans inevitably bombed her into oblivion.

I think the issue is whether you can make the flight deck unusable. A carrier which can't launch or land planes may be unsinkable but it is also unusable.

[@admusic247]

You make good point but, based on my limited knowledge the flight deck is for jets, which engage in targets that are hundreds of miles away. So the point is you wouldny be able to even get that close. If you're closer enough to damage the flight deck then the flight deck is already unusable. They're are a ton of other components that are meant to defender closer, not to mention the carrier is also accompanied by a fleet of ships who have much better close range combat. Also, the carrier would still be a very vital information hub for said ships
