The power of the aircraft carrier isn't purely about its damage potential. The aircraft it launches can only carry comparatively small missiles compared to surface-based platforms. If it's purely about sheer destructive power from afar, destroyers packed to the gills with missiles would theoretically reign supreme. Rather, it's the carrier's (or rather its aircraft's) versatility that makes it so useful. Aside from destroying enemy targets, the aircraft can surveil the area, contest the sky against the enemy's aircraft, protect ground forces, etc. Incidentally, I feel carriers are probably going to become even more accessible. Previously, certain navies would develop helicopter carriers that are smaller and cheaper to operate than one that launches jets. With the advances seen in UAVs, I suspect drone carriers will become even more of a thing. Instead of risking expensive, multi-million dollar jets and pilots that are expensive and time-consuming to train, drone carriers could launch UAVs to do the same job but without risking the pilot and at a price tag more comparable with the aforementioned ballistic missiles compared to the the jets they are replacing. Except unlike ballistic missiles, the UAVs aren't necessarily making a one-way journey.

A Russian carrier strike group consists of: 1 Moskva converted to submarine, 14 tug boats with AK's pointing over the railing for extra danger, 5 roughly corvette sized missile ships with radars from the 80s, 2 random small commercial freighters that run power lines to the air craft carrier and, obviously, 1 air craft carrier.

[@Queldonus]

This may be a simplistic way to look at it, but it’s a lot easier to put a new plane on an aircraft carrier then it is to put a new gun on a battleship. So I think as long as aircraft carriers can be defended and given new aircraft with new capabilities, the ability to have a Landing strip anywhere you need it will be valuable

[@TheSchultinator]

The single caveat to that is what happened with the jet age: at some point your old carrrier, while functionally fine, can't launch/recover/support new, bigger, heavier planes and you'll need a new CV

[@justinryanvalencia05]

im pretty sure new fighter jets are more expensive and take much longer to build than installing a new gun

[@TheSchultinator]

@@justinryanvalencia05 And naval guns are expensive and take a long time to build. Build time is irrelevant since you don't remove a piece of equipment without a replacement ready. To replace a gun you need dock time and cranes and precision, to replace planes you fly off the old and land the new.

[@buddermonger2000]

Mobile Air strips are just exceptionally useful as an offensive weapon as it allows you to have an airfield off the bat with limited ability to retaliate pull offline (due to their mobility), and can provide command and control near the front. Paired with an amphibious Assault ship, you have an expeditionary warfighighting capability, meaning you can potentially fight any coast on earth. And fundamentally, obsolescence is not about whether or not a platform is vulnerable. That comes whether you want it or not in almost any form eventually, but instead about the capability it gives you. And this gives you power projection across the sea.

[@aznravechild6i9]

America had an fighter aircraft advantage at the Battle of Midway? That's news to me. The F4F Wildcat was heavy and underpowered compared to the Zero. Yes, the Wildcats were better armored and had self sealing fuel tanks, but putting it up against the zero was like fighting a rapier with a large club. The zero was faster and far more maneuverable, both of which are the lifeblood of any dogfight. The main reason US fighters were able to give Japanese fighters issues during the battle was because of the debut of the Thach Weave. The maneuvers confused the Kido Butai's combat air patrol so much that they overpursued the Widlcats, which left their carriers unprotected when Wade McClusky's dive bombers showed up.

[@joshuagunthner1838]

modern carriers are command centers for conflicts, not ship killers or carrier killers. Unless something weird happens carrier on carrier conflict will stay a relic of ww2. But even in future conflicts where long range fighters, drones, hypersonic missiles, and satellite dropped munitions; the carrier will remain an important piece. It instantly sets up a command base everywhere it goes with the ability to launch and control all other future weaponry. That's why nations are investing in them. They're massive city sized command centers which can do far more for a war than just engage in combat itself.

Quick answer to the question if carriers will ever be obsolete: similar to to the tank, as long as there is a role to a doctrinal problem that only it can solve, it stays. aircraft carriers are needed, because what it can do for airpower is incredibly usefull. a carrier can both transport and support a number of systems and platforms, that otherwise need a (potentially custom) runway somewhere and have to be transported there anyway. it is basically a mobile staging ground and runway complete with the logistics to support the aircraft. i am a pencil-pusher, a burocrat if you want to say, and the cliche is that we like to stop spending on anything we might write of as obsolete. contrary, we are perfectly capable and willing to finance about everything, as long as it actually has any use.

[@wtfpwnz0red]

Simon should do a video on the Seabees who continually rebuilt air strips in the Pacific after repeated bombings by the Japanese. They eventually started affixing .50 cal anti-aircraft guns on their bulldozers so they could fight back if the planes came to bomb the field while they were working.

The role of an Aircraft Carrier in terms of Power Projection sounds very similar to the original purpose and role of the Cruiser of which in the age of sail a Cruiser is defined as any naval warship that had the necessary weaponry and endurance to say like go to a distant enemy nation's colony and being able to threaten it while also having enough endurance to sustain it and the Aircraft Carrier somewhat invokes that role

They simply used carrier-based aircraft to attack each. It was a pentacle moment in history and the advancement of warfare at sea.

Well done! Cogent and insightful summary. Asymmetric warfare and tech will be the challenge to aircraft carriers in the future (demise of wooden boats and the battleship the historical lesson)

[@AdamMunzlang]

Let’s not forget that while the US has 11 Super Carriers, we also have 8 Amphibious Assault Ships that operate as a helicopter carrier with a squadron of the Marine variant of the F-35

I liked the video. One small blooper is about 24 minutes in, concerning the Falklands War. The picture of the carrier shown was the first Hermes carrier commissioned into the RN in 1925, later sunk by the Japanese in 1942. The RN carrier Hermes which fought in the Falklands war was commissioned in 1959. (warning. I am an av-geek who at age 13 had practically memorized "Janes Fighting Ships") .

good for you Pat!

Air Mother ship is doable technically today: with the advent of drones.

[@SpacePatrollerLaser]

Rock/paper/scissors. Submarines with long-range hypersonic cruise missles that can hug the carriers horizon

Do a video on the Barbary wars

[@beachboy0505]

Excellent video 📹 80 years ago, two of the greatest carrier fleets clashed. We know the American fleet was immense, the Japanese fleet was big (almost)

1:00 Close. The first step is preparing yourself mentally to take as many lives as needed to secure your well-being. After that, it's all just TTPs.

Great Episode! Look forward to these weekly! Thanks for the new episodes. Tell Simon to quit bitching about working hard. There’s a War going on!

[@davidsheeran5144]

There are helicopter carriers, Aircraft carriers, Nuclear power carriers of International naval vessels forces in today naval dominant and supporting ground armed forces operate in land combat operation.

[@M0stlyH3lpful]

I can’t watch these without Simon’s voice. It’s not right!

[@Kookiedude11]

I have watched this video exactly 4 times, and i can confirm that it’s a banger

[@jam9309]

The video was only released 10 minutes ago, how could you have watched it 4 times?. Warographics buying bots now lol.

[@ryanoak4736]

It has been up for 15 minutes and it's almost 25 mins long...

[@Kookiedude11]

I wasn’t being serious

🕐...

[@dp6447]

Fact boy thanks you for your service

[@marcustmusic]

I always wanted to see a carrier in person, but I don't live anywhere near a major port which is kind of a bummer. I do believe I had a relative who used to work on a flight deck on a carrier, I couldn't tell you which one but at least that is what I've heard.

[@Ulvhamne]

HMS Gotland disagrees with that you can't hit back without having a carrier yourself.

[@melvindavis2789]

The carriers are also used to help areas after a natural disaster and have done so multiple. I get it the channel is Warographics so military uses are the focus.

Damn I Love me some WAROGraphics on a Thursday!

[@PastInNumbers]

what's next? Art of War: Dual Space Particle Beams? i never remember sun tuz mentioning carriers

[@rejvaik00]

Sun tzu said that! And id say he knows a little more about aircraft carriers than you do _pal_ because he invented it!

[@garretthansen5073]

You and I gotta play warthunder Whistle boi 😂

[@theguy6521]

I was on a Tarawa class. Thought she was big, until i parked on the carrier pier. Ronnie Ron and The Nimmy were moored bow to bow. Nothing like seeing two CVNs on one pier. It is pretty amazing.

[@RickyRicardo-bt4fc]

The aircraft carrier is not dead. May just need to evolve. With the advent of drones, we may want to consider submersible carriers that are much smaller than the current regular carriers. A sub-carrier with just a handful of F-35 C’s can take a bunch of drones with it that the sub-carrier can hold a ton of and launch stealthily.
