@@Bartonovich52 False. The most important part of any battle is to find the carrier, and if you lose contact, how far can it get before you find it again. Do the math on how much area is in a 34.5 mile radius circle versus a 36.8 mile radius circle, and keep in mind this search will be conducted while a squadron of angry Hornets is trying to splash the searcher. (answer: 3737 sq miles vs 4252... an extra 500 square miles)

[@kazearqaz1734]

The Reason why the super powers needs Carriers is to deliver force beyond your borders, to ensure you always stay at the top. Also to secure that wars will never reach your homeland, keeping wars away as much as possible

Even though the Gerald R Ford is more expensive, in the long run it will be cost efficient due to easier maintenance and also there are not much crew to pay salary to

[@mickeyg7219]

Geography also has something to do with it, U.S. bordered only 2 countries by land. There are advantages and disadvantages of being bordered by two oceans and only few neighboring countries. The advantages are that it helps insulated the country against large-scale invasions and provide two major trading routes. The disadvantage is that you need ships to get anywhere outside North America (it is possible to drive to South America, but it's not cost-effective).

The USS enterprise was the first Nuke carrier ever, and when building it congress didn't like its cost, and so they sarcastically went all out and gave it 1 reactor for every boiler a standard carrier would have, 8.

Steam catapult is so outdated yet Russia and China can't even have one

[@domoncar6782]

Difference of opinion. Not everyone designs their navy the same way. US has supercarriers because it intends to fight battles far far away. The Russian (Chinese are way too new to the carrier game) Navy doesn't operate on the same principle. Their navy is designed to counter & deter US Navy. They win if US is unable to deploy a CBG into an area. So they went for STOVL/STOBAR ships. Cheaper and effective in the short range. Soviet Union didn't even care for Carriers, for there principle was to fight a land war Europe and the Navy's job was deny US Navy and merchant fleet access to Europe. So submarines, frigates, missile boars & ASW ships for Soviet Navy. US Navy had the job of fighting 1000s of miles from their home and keeping lanes clean. So Carriers , ASW helos, destroyers , & submarines for USN.

There are more than a few errors in this video. For example the USS Ford has the dual-band radar (DBR) system consisting of the X band AN/SPY-3 multifunction radar with the AN/SPY-4 S band Volume Search Radar (VSR) emitters. They are sensors not electronic warfare systems. Both the Nimitz class and the USS Ford will be equipped with AN/SLQ-32(v)4 electronic warfare system. The Nimitz Class has SPS-48E, SPS-49(V)5 and the SPQ-9B radars fused into a single picture that is integrated with the Shipboard Self Defense System and the Cooperative Engagement System.You copied from Wikipedia that the Nimitz class is armed with "16-24 RIM 7 missiles." What they actually have is three or four NATO RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missile launchers each carrying 8 missiles. The Ford carries initially 2 x RIM-162 ESSM launchers (Mk 29 launcher), 2 x RIM-116 RAM launchers (Mk 144 launcher 42 missiles) & 2 x PHALANX 20mm Close In Weapon Systems (CIWS) (not four). The Ford one day may have laser defensive weapons as may the Nimitz's. Some of the Nimitz Class ships have the Surface Ship Torpedo Defense System (SSTDS) as presumably does the Ford. Both ships have various thickness the high-strength low-alloy steel (HSLA-100) amour and some Nimitz has additional Kevlar as does the Ford.The Ford and Nimitz Class will essentially carry the same type aircraft at the same time. The Nimitz quoted rate is one aircraft launched every 20 seconds,. The Ford is said to be able to launch aircraft faster and for a more sustained time.The French only have one aircraft carrier and it does indeed have steam catapults. You'd think you'd show some pictures of the other aircraft carriers as you discussed them. The Russians do have a super carrier as do the Chinese (an old converted Russian carrier).This video reminds me of someone that read the Wikipedia article and nothing more.

The Nimitz went way over budget as well when she was developed. The Nimitz had many major technological advancements over the Enterprise (CVN 65) and the previous class of carrier which included the Kitty Hawk and the Kennedy. (CV63 and CV67). These overruns allowed us to be able to produce a much better carrier in future models (CVN69 and up) and with each carrier built we were able to refine the design a bit more every time. I have served onboard 2 of the carriers and sailed 3 all together and there were differences in each one. All 3 were also sequential (CVN73, 74, 75) but improvements were made to each one. If I were a guessing man here I would say we are going to see a similar evolution with the Ford Class. BTW there will be at least 3 in the class as of right now. The Ford has been running sea trials, The Kennedy and Enterprise (CVN 79 and 80 respectively) have been awarded and the Kennedy is about 50% complete.

1. Literal cheating assuming the US Navy would allow a "cruise ship" to sail through an exclusion zone, much less within eight miles of a carrier during an active war. 2. Accurate. Unless the entire strike group is consistently banging active radar, modern Diesel-Electric submarines can effectively move undetected through CSG's without submarine escorts. 3. Presumably ditto, but relatively few details were released as to why the CSG's ASW exercises didn't work. 4. I can only find one and most accept the idea was to deny the soviets proper understanding of American ASW protocol, and thus force the Soviets to adopt incorrect submarine doctrines that would better protect CSG's during wartime. 5. This one is total bullshit that gets cited way more often than it should. Gen. Riper didn't use unorthodox tactics to win in Millennium Challenge 02, he outright cheated; doing crazy shit like *firing more exocets than existed at the time* to down vessels in the opening brawl, or not using radio communications at all because he can totally communicate with his hundred vessel combat group using flashing light morse code messages and motorcycle deliverymen alone.

The US does not have 19 carriers. Including the Ford there are 11. No, amphibious assault ships are not aircraft carriers. Their aircraft only support ground troops. Aircraft on carriers also engage in air superiority, deep strike, ASW and command & control. If you want to argue that LHDs like the USS Wasp are carriers, then nearly every ship in the Navy is a carrier. Nearly all could have an F-35b or an AV-8 stationed on them.

Technically true. They are carriers. They launch planes. They are not sea tenders. They are bigger than some countries actually Aircraft Carriers.

One of the biggest benefits to the automated features is that the Ford class can launch and maintain far more aircraft in flight, with less crew, because they can arm them much faster. Given how carriers fight, this is a huge benefit--having planes in the sky is essential for defense against the biggest threats currently to carriers (Missiles and Subs)--as planes allow for better coordination with escort ships.

[@GS-zx1kk]

the maintenance will be lower and will be more efficient in the long run for the next 40 years

[@jithinjose2591]

Might be, considering next biggest country have only 2 carriers, Y they need 20 carrier?

[@MrTimms-sn1kh]

Jithin Jose power

[@inkedseahear]

The US have 10 carriers, 1 in scrap, 1 in planning to serve, 1 in production and 1 to be planned to be produced the rest 9 "carriers" are LHDs or LHAs which are different.

I really think EU should start soon to build it's army

[@apothecaryjohn]

Jason Fire Fuck the E.U.

[@jameslegrand848]

Jason Fire if the EU ever does make an army then it'll probably be a collection of the partner counties military forces.

[@cathallawlor989]

James Legrand there is a EU force but you are right the big part of it would be different countries.

[@jonathanhoang3417]

Cant make a naval force when every country is landlocked LUL

[@kaaslol9082]

Fuck the corrupt EU, let's leave the EU.

[@nehc_tnecniv]

btw all of the planes mentioned can be carried by both, although F4s and F14s are retired. The F35c is almost finished developing , it just still needs more testing on the landing gear for on the carriers.

[@usaball9190]

Murica need a nerf, this really unbalanced the gameplay

[@robertmcveigh1572]

USAball Chinese Anti Ship missiles are a HUGE counterbalance

[@danielweatherly9733]

Previous electronic warfare specialist here, I could be wrong but I don't see how the SPY 3/4 could replace the SLQ32 as they are different types of systems. The slq is not a radar at all and only receives radar signatures. The SPY is a functioning radar which limits its receiving abilities. In other words, it's like saying I'm upgrading my old printer with a new monitor...

[@Cpt_Boony_Hat]

Could the some of the ageis ships or the E-2 be filling the void

[@danielweatherly9733]

Captain Boony Hat unlikely that they would rely solely on other ships sensors. It is the standard that the carrier is the lead EW ship. I'm sure they probably have the Bravo version of the SLQ32. Problem is, the SLQ32 is highly classified and little is released about it. That's probably why the info was wrong on here.

[@bkr1895]

The amount of varying types of aircraft we have in such large numbers is incredible

American army vs Vietnam War American army :D Like if you agree

[@laurencef8535]

How old tho?...

[@OMDUK79]

Lfxfire Vietnam war old

[@axelmaldonado2642]

Lfxfire Modern vs Vietnam era

[@Ghidorah_Stan64]

OMDUK79 no contest, even individually modern day soldiers and marines are much better fighters compared to the drafted veterans of Vietnam.

[@freedom14639]

OMDUK79 yeah yanks got their ass's handed to them by an army carrying RPGs LMFAO

[@OrlandoObra]

This game (world) is American biased. America needs some nerf and this game needs some serious patch.

3 Best American Battleship 1st:USS Gerald Ford 2nd:USS Iowa 3rd:USS Missouri

[@alganhar1]

The Ford Class is an awesome ship, and will likely go on to be the ultimate in Carrier technology. But I did have a few small issues with the Video. 1) The Queen Elizabeth Class have been designed to accept a catapult Launch system, which may be deployed on the ship (or both) at a later date. But given the fact both vessels were designed specifically for STOL operations, more specifically the F35B a catapult system was deemed not currently worthwhile. The Capability was designed into the ship however. 2) While the F35 is a predominantly US led development it is not entirely US designed. The UK is a major contributer in Tech and design personell to the aircraft. I know for a fact that many aspects of the aircrafts electronics and life support systems were taken from developments pioneered during the Eurofighter programme... how do I know this? My brother was one of the lead engineers on Eurofighter and has been working on F35 for years... and no, I do not know specifics, little thing called the Official Secrets act. This is not to say the UK is *the* major contributor, it is not, but it *has* made several valid and valuable contributions to the programme. Current estimation is that around 15% of every F35 is British designed.... not a lot admittedly, but designing and building 5th Generation aircraft is not a cheap thing, and hell, given the US's tech lead 15% is a pretty good ratio. 3) One Gerald D Ford Class has thus far cost more than both the development and the Hull and Equipment cost of the Queen Elizabeth Class, with plenty of change, hell one Ford is going to cost more than both QE class [lus their Air Wings! Probably not an issue for the US Navy... but definately one for the Royal Navy :) 4) 4300 crew? Pah... Queen Elizabeth has a sailing crew of 700.... Air crew and the like will add more but from the figures less than a thousand. But then the Royal Navy dont have the numbers of the USN! That is one *highly* automated ship. Worries me actually, because low crew numbers are great in peace time but I do wonder if the damage control and the like will be adequate in war time.... only time will tell (though hopefully not!). The TL;DR version is really, dont try to compare US Carriers with anyone elses, because no one else can *afford* US style Super Carriers! Despite being a proud Brit I know the Queen Elizabeth will not be as effective a platform as a Nimitz, let alone the GDF.... but she will be (for the moment) better than anyone elses *except* the US!

[@squirtle570]

If america has so much weapons then why don't they give more money to nasa or something else. lower the military budget

[@raptorguy3493]

Squirtle because we have made a lot of people very angry...

[@morganorozco6309]

Squirtle if we do that that means out defences will drop and we will be a easier target to other country's

[@huegass1650]

Bob Orozco no look at Russia. They have a much smaller budget than us yet no one would ever think of invading them.

[@Vader_sama]

It's cause the US invests heavily into NATO when other members simply don't contribute enough cause it's convenient for them to have US do all the work. Also the fact that US has bases all around the world.

[@Flash244MCGaming]

Squirtle why take away from military spending when we could be taking away from welfare spending?

"Let's spend taxpayer money on big toys that won't help us tackle problems that effect the common man!"

[@troyweatherford2428]

Thomas The West keeping a military up to date is a common man problem. This carrier is actually cheaper over time than what we have now and is more effective.

[@troyweatherford2428]

Thomas The West basically we can either increase our troop number anywhere from half a million to a million or we could build a fast reaction smaller military that is more advanced and effective.

[@TheCelticsAREboss]

Guys, stop taking the policies of some 13 year old internet troll seriously.

[@thomasthewest03]

lol, yáll seem triggered. you could all just scrolling, but no, that's not an option...(also, why DO you need another aircraft carrier. like seriously???)

[@TheCelticsAREboss]

The current Nimitz class is outdated by American standards.

[@kal-el5535]

The whole concept of a sailing airport is fascinating

[@mpc007]

Don't forget Italy's carrier, the Count Cavour. It's actually pretty decent and modern!

[@Thx1138sober]

it's tiny and only carries 8 aircraft, more on par with an amphibious assault ship except it can only carry about 400 assault troops (by chopper only) and the American ones carry about 1,500 (by chopper and assault craft).
