All movements of the American ship Mount Whitney are tracked by the Black Sea Fleet.

BSF ground stations track all movements of the flagship of the 6th fleet US Navy, located in the Black Sea, transfers RIA News Post military source in the Crimea.

“At the moment, tracking of Mount Whitney is carried out by stationary ground stations, it is located at a sufficiently large distance in the western part of the Black Sea, and so far there is no need for its maintenance. If the American ship goes to the Russian coast, one of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet will be sent to escort it, it will be involved aviation»- said the source.

Earlier it was reported that the flagship of the 6 fleet command and command ship Mount Whitney entered the Black Sea.

According to the agency, “the ship’s displacement is 18400 tons, the length is 189 meters, the width is 33 meters, the maximum speed is 23 knots”. Armament: two 25-mm M242 guns, two 20-mm Phalanx CIWS anti-aircraft guns and 4 heavy-caliber machine guns with 12,7 mm caliber.

The standard job is to track and accompany the movements of a potential enemy.

That would have irradiated it with a huge microwave ..

With such weapons and a flagship?

[Mikado]

This is a control ship. But on it communications equipment, intelligence and headquarters.

One of no security? Where's the retinue? United ukrobolgaroruminsky fleet with the missing Turkish ships?

apparently, the sailors on the "Donald Cook" flatly refused to sail. And so the pants were washed twice by the whole crew

By the way, and David Jewberg is not on it for an hour. This is the one that in 20 days was going to defeat Russia and put on the throne of Navalny

Can sink until he escaped?

[kote119]

it is a control ship, for it control, communication and intelligence systems are more relevant

[Mikado]

at the same time wrote the same phrase!

Exactly. And after reading this:

If the American ship goes to the Russian coast, one of the ships of the Black Sea Fleet will be sent to escort it, aviation will be involved ”

You involuntarily catch yourself thinking. And do the Americans want to test their equipment for the impact of "Khibiny", for example

[Corsair0304]

Surely they want. In general, most likely they sent their flagship for testing and reconnaissance of our deployed EW forces and assets.

Quote: wikipedia

Mount Whitney (USS Mount Whitney (LCC / JCC 20)) is the second Blue Ridge-class command ship, the flagship of the 6th US Navy.
Entered service on January 16, 1971.

Most likely, after the impact of our electronic warfare means, to accuse the "evil" Russians of destroying the filling of the "super-duper" flagship of the 6th "super-duper" fleet of the US Democrat of the Earth. And secretly write off hee hee

[abrakadabre]

In general, most likely they sent their flagship for testing and reconnaissance of our deployed electronic warfare

But do they want to test for the effects of unidentified flying blanks with 300-500 kg of fireworks on board?
Maybe they should better explore the Black Sea below the boundary of the appearance of hydrogen sulfide.

[dimon67]

Most likely, they sent for this

[Alex_Rarog]

Yeah cheto sour) I thought they had flagship carriers)

[Walking]

Staff ship, for staff workers.

[FREGATEN]

The concept -Flagman is in no way directly related to the concept -The most powerful ship ...... the task of the flagship is to be the center of the order, Flotilla, Fleet ... to have a floating on board. the headquarters of the compound, the association ...... Accordingly, the necessary means of communication, control, intelligence .... Of the weapons, it is enough to have air defense, maybe an anti-aircraft missile ..... all this has Mount Whitney.

It’s enough to have anti-aircraft defense weapons, maybe anti-aircraft defense

Barrel anti-aircraft artillery and jamming missiles? Doubtful air defense

This is the headquarters ship controlling the naval ship group. In amers, AUGs are network-centric. On it, instead of guns, computers, servers and radars. In short, spying on us jumped by chance.

[Engineer]

Now he will track all the positions of our anti-ship systems and radar installations in Crimea. It is necessary to suppress it.

What's the point? Well they are basically all mobile. And as soon as this scandal passed the Dardanelles, the necessary measures were already taken in Crimea.

[V.ic]

Isn't there a "non-lethal" weapon in the arsenal of our fleet, like the creation of an adversary in the near-surface layers of a gas-water mixture along the course? I think the very "that" case.

On the Gazprom pipe there is a branch with holes. Dunuli Malekh - there is no steamboat. Bermuda Triangle in short

Crap is full. I watched the whole program about this. In real life, the Americans tried to drown the yacht, nothing came of it. So the tales are all about the soda in which the ships are drowning.

It would be nice that on their radar appeared that the Russian missile systems Bastions took them into the capture of escort.

it will be a little expensive ... maybe ask for military swimmers from the Armed Forces? promise them an unlimited visa to Geyropa - they will drill holes in it with a drill

[svp67]

Since this is a control ship, then all kinds of electronics on it are ENOUGH. So I think, why is this "galosh", with red cuffs, hanging around where they don't really want to see it? So, this is not a provocation, is it a setup? Draw out our Su-24s, with electronic warfare containers, and try to show us "our place", that is, to suppress the work of our jammers electronically ... That is, try to take revenge.

Do not strain too much. This scandal (if sclerosis of the 70th year of construction does not fail me) since the days of the Soviet Union has been planned in a planned manner wherever it gets. The last two times was during the Georgian crisis and the Olympics of the 14th year.

But there is absolutely nothing for this macaque to do in the Russian Lake .. Maybe, anchor mines from the Second World War will accidentally come up on its way. Anything happens ..

Yes, the flagship’s weapons are still enough to stifle fish !!!

With such weapons, for a laugh, send him to accompany a fishing trawler with hunting rifles!

It is necessary that the sagoidachny attacked the Americans ("accidentally").

[GTYCBJYTH2021]

To irradiate it with rays ..... Beautiful ..... He drove, they say, the American ship was about to be irradiated ...... But IT IS NOT FUNNY !!!!!!! American TO US, RUSSIANS UNDER THE LIVER, WEAR ........ do not kill him with tablets .......

[PValery53]

The US naval military from Mount Whitney will train in the Black Sea in rescue operations in the event of unexpected flooding of an unknown nature (cause).

[Redfox3k]

Laughter, laughter, but this scandal, I'm afraid, is a purely reconnaissance ship. Exploration and discovery of the capabilities of the Russian Federation in the Crimea, nothing personal. A likely opponent is plotting something.
