US Testing its New Gigantic $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier

US Testing its New Gigantic $13 Billion Aircraft Carrier
in every four aircraft carriers in the world belongs to the United States. And their total combined deck space is more than double that of all other nations combined. But the biggest worry for competing nations isn’t that, it’s the United States’ Supercarrier. This $13 billion aircraft carrier holds the title of the largest, most powerful aircraft carrier in the world. Now, there have been many supercarriers over the years with one losing the title after a successor is introduced - like the James Bond title. Welcome to USS John F. Kennedy - the 21st-century Supercarrier.

I had a friend who ran a nuclear power plant on a carrier (1 of 2 ) he said that they will go about 20 yrs before they need refueling and etc. that really is amazing, they say the subs are about the same. they usually have 2 because they need to go down on occasion. but 20 yrs without fuel is darn impressive. i think the value of nuclear is very under rated .

[@codygauthier8382]

It's undervalued because of the risk it possesses. If one of those Subs or carriers sink, it'll cost a lot of money to either raise them from the sea bed or to cap them in concrete so their waste does not leak into the water way. Edit: If interested, the Russian Kursk submarine was sunk in the Arctic and they're still having issues with it 20+ years later. Couple cool videos on the incident

[@pouncepounce7417]

Nuclear has drawbacks and there is tech that rivals it depending how you use it. Given human crews depend on regular "refuelling" that 20 year frame between refuels would be an real big advantage with automated systhems. Then, reactors may run for 20 years with one fuel package, but the periphery needs maintance that can only done in an base, so it is relative too. It is an impressive number, but as long you can not build everything else that plays into the whole to go on for 20 years too you can not really have an advantage. That reactors can be run underwater at full power without the need to surface at all, that is the real advantage, not the 20 years, if they would run only one year or six month without refueling, that would make them as much an asset as 20 year refueling cycles. the 20 years number is more to impress the civilians, but for the purpose they have, it does not really give an big advantage aside that you do not have to worry so much for fuel logistics. Carriers need jet fuel that is the real limiting factor (even the best carbon based fuel go stale in matter of month) Submarines need a pletora of refills on an monthly basis to work fine, if fully equiped you can stretch that to 3 or 4 month, then they are not fully operational anymore.

Apparently the principle benefits are that it requires less fresh water (No steam), supposedly easier and cheaper to maintain (Believe that when I hear it over time though it is possible), it's supposedly quicker to recharge and fire allowing for more frequent launches upping the sortie/day numbers, and that it can be dialed in more exactly in terms of the force needed so while it can still launch heavy planes it can also be dialed back to launch lighter drones without damaging them. So far it's apparently had reliability issues, breaking more often than the Steam catapults. Where that is in being addressed, I don't know.

As a Royal Navy veteran I served on a carrier in my early career and freely admit to green eyed envy of the USN carriers then and now. I'm afraid that there is going to be a time in the not too distant future when carriers will go the way of the old battleships as technology will render them obsolete. Russia and China are developing hypersonic missile systems that have the potential to be a clear threat to large ocean going vessels well away from the combat zone or area of interest. But until that time comes these beautiful beasts will always be there to serve and protect us and our allies freedom.

[@watchme2day]

Fortunately, as Russia and China are developing hypersonic weapons the US has been for decades working on hypersonic counter-measures. The Israelis have benefited from US interception technology in the form of the Iron Dome. There are other more lethal weapons coming online that can track and down a hypersonic missile with the use of high-powered lasers.

[@juliopena2098]

Hypersonic missiles are not as effective at sea apparently because they can’t maneuver too well at long distance. Reason is as a missile travels it has to curve which is why we use the slower ones already. The missiles are too fast for that kind of shot. Carriers can perform their duty by getting aircraft near the area to take out the missile sites. But not getting too close where a hypersonic missile can be a threat. This came off an article I read which could be false ofc. But give me your thoughts

MREs some of them are absolutely delicious others are completely disgusting LOL. My favorite was beef stew or the chicken and rice. There was one that took me over 3 years before I would try it and it's the omelet with ham. I just couldn't imagine packaged egg tasting good but it was actually quite delicious. But military rations are made to give us enough energy even if we only have one a day instead of three meals one MRE can sustain us with zero problems. As I said already they last for years obviously when unopened. I find it kind of comical the first time I experienced anything that had a massive shelf life was when I was on missionary work in Labrador. They had these leader sized cardboard boxes of milk that could last for over 6 months without souring and it was true milk not something synthetic. It tasted like normal milk. But to reiterate a supercarrier staying out at sea for a decade or more has no issues when it comes to the food unless the sailors don't like what they're being served and want to mess with the cooks LOL. The super carriers are actually like a small City they even have their own post office. Not just a a little postal department it's considered an actual post office. Granted the report and studies I did were decades ago and it might have changed since then but it doesn't seem logical to think it would especially since they've only grown bigger. The sailor compliment back then was over 3,000 and some over 5,000 for a supercarrier. They're an amazing beast. I wasn't Abrams tanker and they are also one badass machine. Even without the bullets they are a lot of fun. The engine is a jet turbine just like in any plane that flies around the world. It takes 12 gallons of fuel just to start it. Normally there is an engine governor keeping it at 45 mph or less I've had mine one of mine I should say 10 miles over that. Without the governor that 77 ton beauty can do 95 miles an hour.

Quote: "Nuclear reactors that are like atomic bombs, but not really." end of quote. First, nuclear reactors are nothing like bombs. Reactor operates by sustained controlled fission of slightly enriched uranium, usually in the form of pellets embedded in zirconium set in rods and deposited with boron containing control rods in in the reactor core, fuel must be surrounded by the moderator in water-pressure reactors it is water and in RMBK - graphite. And so, the operation of the reactor is the right balance between the amount of active control rods, the coolant, the moderator, and the fuel. Fission gives huge amounts of thermal energy, a heat, that combined with water gives steam and steam drives turbines giving electricity.. Quite simple rules, right?. Far from a bomb which, in one of types can be set on the implosion lens, used to initiate a sudden fission of the fission material - highly enriched plutonium - as a highly unstable material, it is easily subjected to rapid fission, generating a huge amounts of energy in a sudden and uncontrolled burst.

Add in placements for rail guns, high energy lasers being tested. That helps future proof the new class of super carrier (Gerald Ford Class). Also, more subs have been outfitted with aerial drones that can be used to take out guidance systems near shore where anti-ship installations are often placed. Between that and 3rd gen stealth fighters there is really no adversary in the same category. Hypersonic is not yet functional and Russia/China love to brag about their capabilities whereas U.S. keeps quiet but keeps developing so any serious conflict would be unpleasantly surprising to the U.S. adversary. Russia likes to think they can compete militarily, but they are decades behind in technology and their air force is a joke with much of it mothballed or being used for spare parts. China is mainly looking to compete economically and believes that is the route to dominance. They may be right but it's the long game and nothing to worry about in the short term.

[@MrGary10k]

Agreed. It amazes me sometimes how people think a country with the GDP of Italy can match the US. China is much more formidable, but their airforce needs better jet engines in their aircraft than poor facsimiles of Russian design. Their stealth aircraft designs are highly suspect, and their subs are not very good. They are investing in missiles because of these deficiencies, which in turn makes them very one dimensional. Their reliance on Area Denial will leave them extremely vulnerable outside that area. And for a country that can't feed itself, and is heavily reliant on trade and fishing fleets, those are some pretty significant red flags.

You need to study your history, pal. In 1910 the first cargo shipments were being made by airplane (Wright Flyer) and the English Channel had been crossed by plane. The first ordnance had been fired from airplanes and the handwriting was on the wall for the massive role airplanes (invented and flown for the first time in 1903) would play in warfare. Cheers, D.

[@robwalker4548]

They are still having problems with them. If you can’t get a plane off of it then it really is an aircraft “carrier”.

[@Steve-pl4dz]

Took them some time to get the electromagnetic catapults working properly but now they are completely functional, the Navy actually called on the advice and expertise of roller coaster designers that have been using electromagnetic propulsion for awhile now. As for the crewman, there is a crew assigned to the ship as it is being built, they are there to learn every part of their responsibilities on the ship so they have complete understanding of the equipment they are assigned to so they can perform correct maintenance and repairs while on deployment. Some of the benefits of this new technology is twice as many planes can be launched nearly twice as fast compared to the old system and the new catapult system uses half the space as the steam powered and only 1/4 of the maintenance needed vs. the old system.

[@mwtrolle]

@@robwalker4548 there are always an learning and perfection time for such systems.

The stream catapults take a hell lot of maintenance that’s why they opted for electromagnetic catapults instead. Though as a side benefit it also will allow the planes to operate for manny more missions, as the stresses in the airframes are far smaller.

Russia has so tiny usable port areas. In Baltic sea, it is hard to go to the Atlantic ocean because of danish straits. And sea route from Black sea to Mediterranean is blocked by NATO country Turkey. In North Arctic ocean is mostly covered by sea ice. And on the Asian side, Russia has hardly any factories there and lots of sea ice comes there too. So, Russia has very few naval bases that can really work all the time. Using submarines is wiser, just because they may avoid contact to the enemy even in narrow places that Russia often has. In US there are lots of ports and possible routes to the sea where enemies has hard time to do anything. If US doesn't have enough marine vessels, then enemies may land on several lightly protected areas. So USA needs its carriers., while ie. Russia doesn't need them. Also Russia's land borders are crowded with enemies (you may argue that its their own fault) while USA has mostly allies and only 2 countries on its land based borders. So their armies will have very different things to handle when they prepare for war.
