Study: aircraft carrier size matters

The American Strategic Research Center RAND has published the results of its study of the dependence of the combat capabilities of an aircraft carrier on its size and cost. Warspot with a link to the resource scout.com.

The research was commissioned by the Pentagon, whose command decided to test "how much the development strategy of the Navy and the Marine Corps is justified in terms of costs," vitality "and projected force."

It is noted that "the ships that are already part of the American fleet, as well as concepts in the form of aircraft carriers of the "middle" and "mini" classes. "

The researchers divided the aircraft carriers on the 4 conditional class:

- CVN 8X - the prototype served as aircraft carriers of the type Gerald R. Ford, having a displacement of order 100 000 t;
- CVN LX - the concept of an aircraft carrier with a displacement of 70 000 t. Such a ship will cost the fleet cheaper, but will be more limited in size of the wing, as well as the supply of fuel and ammunition for it;
- CV LX - aircraft carrier concept with a 40 000 ton displacement. The prototype was an UDC of the America type. In comparison, considered the version of the aircraft carrier with a nuclear power plant;
- CV EX - the concept of a light aircraft carrier with a displacement of 20 000 t.

According to the results of the research, analysts reported that "now and in the foreseeable future, the variant of the aircraft carrier CVN 8X (Gerald R. Ford) is optimal." The 100 000 ton displacement ship "is capable of carrying and maintaining the combat readiness of 80 combat aircraft, which is sufficient to project force according to US military doctrine."

At the same time, savings in choosing aircraft carriers of the CVN LX class (70 000 t) will not be justified due to their limited capabilities.

And the CV LX and CV EX formats are generally considered not practical and do not meet the requirements of the current military doctrine. They are more dependent on supply ships and require a different approach to the formation of aircraft carrier groups.

laughing Do not exaggerate-drown torment him with a horde of retinue and airplanes, like a swarm of wasps circling him next ...

To undermine a couple of atomic warheads of 1 Mt along the path of an aircraft carrier and there is no escort ... and then you can put into operation TU-22M3 with its missiles ... this is just one option.

[Kasym]

Against an equal opponent (China, Russia, India) it is difficult to use AUG. But against small countries militarily AUG is very effective.

Undermine a couple of atomic warheads of 1 Mt along the aircraft carrier and there is no escort ...

So these "researchers" just abut that the big ship is its own base and escort, and the small one needs to be equipped and escorted.
In general, I have the impression that the probable loss in battle was initially taken as zero, and all other calculations come from this. Yes, a large air group protects their ship better, but there are no invulnerables. But there is no protection at all from a modern flock of missiles actively maneuvering at low altitude. Even atomic ammunition will destroy only part of the flock; they go widely both along the front and along the time interval.

Wow, everything is so simple ... and we’ll suck target designation from a finger for warheads? Let me remind you that AUG is a fast moving target, not a stationary house.
Maybe a torpedo with nuclear warheads? Only our submarine should still come at a distance of launching a torpedo, despite the fact that the AUG is hiding not only from the air, but also under water, too.
Remains from the air ... if it’s near our coasts, it’s still possible ... but the AUG is the most invulnerable in the open ocean, and today we can hope to destroy such a group by striking from several directions, that is, from under water from the air and from the sea, which does not guarantee a successful outcome.
We will have target designation systems that online will correct the flight of the same rocket over the horizon, taking into account the movement of the AOG, then we can talk about nuclear charges and simple missiles and so on ... and until the village, so far we have little effective means of destruction of the AUG, taking into account its retinue-guard and the radius of its air wing. Naturally, the conversation is about the destruction of such a group in the open ocean.

[dvina71]

Nexus ... everything is complicated for you .. To begin with ... where will the AUG come to attack the territory of the Russian Federation? To the Baltic? Black Sea? From the Pacific?
TsU? Already established .. The legend rested in the Bose, but it is replaced by Liana, with a higher orbit, which means the number of satellites is less. Well, and you don’t know .. UH a lone TARK or PARK will not attack. An attack of such a connection is possible only complex .. by all necessary means of destruction.

Therefore, I said that while we have an effective system of purpose, there is no purpose.

[Talgat]

Yes, I also read about Legend and Liana. Liana seems not so bulky and based on new technologies

If everything is true and target designation is reborn, then, in principle, Russia has a very cheap chance to confront the giant fleets of opponents

Atomarines - and especially new ones - will always have good chances to approach the distance of a volley of onyxes

It is clear that aviation will not be allowed to reach the AUG, but if the Tu22 will have the planned x32 with 1000 km in range, then these 30 new carcasses, if necessary, will sink several AUGs who dared to approach the coast of Russia

Left without AUG air defense fighters, destroyers and cruisers will be accessible to naval aviation and anti-ship missiles. Yes, and coastal corvettes and RTOs will be able to enter into a completely equal battle with them

[NOVERU]

why do we put the submarine’s network of sensors and torpedo launchers with apples and everything is spectacular like a terrorist attack or with a road HE and a black cat can be searched in all the dark corners of an individual if it’s not there

[bagr69]

It’s not necessary to drown at all, to damage the takeoff, and the command post will, in principle, produce a voluminous steel trough. We have funds for these purposes, but there are big questions regarding the possibilities of counteracting our funds from their carrier group, are they effective?

[abrakadabre]

It’s not necessary to drown at all, to damage the takeoff, but the command post

As an option, several missiles aboard with the creation of a roll that cannot be compensated by counter-flooding of the compartments .. And that’s it. With sideways oblique deck, too, can not take off.

[Galleon]

For this type of aircraft carrier, the underwater side is duplicated five times, the bottom - three times - in order to increase survivability. A pile of ballast tanks. To heel it, you have to get to the same place twice or thrice. And so there were at least two such places. But in general, you are right - the critical roll for take-off and landing is 5 degrees.

[abrakadabre]

To heel it, you have to get to the same place twice or thrice.

critical roll for take-off and landing - 5 degrees.

This is clear. The fool is healthy and well thought out. But this is one of the options for the failure of an aircraft carrier without its sinking.

[d ^ Amir]

why drown ???? to spread the upper deck and that’s all ... the planes do not take off and land ... and even though there will be protection around it at least five rings ..... without planes or without the possibility of using planes this is a useless iron box in a very large puddle ... .

More ... more ... thicker ... Yes, the aircraft carrier has one purpose - a floating military base for resolving local conflicts in countries with poorly developed air defense and aircraft systems. So that, God forbid, in a direct collision, the “lyuley" did not hang, they came up with this "long arm" ...
What is the use of all this retinue if a superhigh-speed anti-ship missile is not intercepted? And two things prick it "trough" like a walnut. And the cost of RCC is not comparable with the cost of an aircraft carrier.

[newcomer]

Esoteric, the cost of the tank is also incomparably lower than the cost of the tank, (do you want to continue the analogy?). and what, tanks we’ll shout at, we’ll arm the tankers with tank guns? and by the way, my colleague, I’m not particularly pleased with your excessive (don’t you find?) attention to me. I ask you to cool down. because I have to take retaliatory measures. and I don’t even look that I literally left the “bathhouse” because of the same “guardian”. nothing to do, run in the air.

[Pan_hrabio]

Yes, the aircraft carrier has one purpose - a floating military base for resolving local conflicts in countries with poorly developed air defense and aircraft systems.

Just the same, this is a secondary goal, which they were taught relatively recently. The main goal of aircraft carriers and, in general, AUGs, in which case to maintain dominance in the oceans, to ensure the safe transfer of troops for example to Europe.

[Kyzmich]

Somewhere they quoted the cost of our aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov equal to the cost of two Antey nuclear submarines

[Herculesic]

Across the ocean from time to time rises are raised on the topic "which is better: one big or many small?". In our case, due to the lack of AUG and money for it, these sacrachics quickly fade. So this analysis was commissioned by supporters of large and expensive aircraft carriers.

And also more funds can be mastered during construction and operation. Kickbacks are appropriate. Here everyone shouts with one voice; "Donald is an idiot, he will start World War III." forgetting that he is a businessman, not a "fiery imperialist." He will calmly “arm” the exceptional ones, not forgetting to put aside the dowry of the Golconda .. ugh, Ivanka, your “legitimate” “dohrenilliard”.

[Razvedka_Boem]

Given US policy, aircraft carriers with a large displacement are beneficial to them.
And for example, Italy in the Mediterranean, they are useless. France also does not build large ships, because they have no use. Even their aircraft carrier according to the American classification is not what it needs ..)
The construction of the fleet is completely subordinate to the ongoing foreign policy.

[34 region]

16.16. Intelligence Fight! Well, it depends on how you consider the benefits. If purely for money, then it is possible at a loss. The cost of the aircraft carrier itself, plus aircraft, plus guarding ships, plus weapons, fuel and lubricants and ammunition, plus the cost of maintenance ... It’s a little expensive. And they are under repair for how long. And this is without combat damage! If you count on the economic benefits of the suppression of dissenting Papuans, it is beneficial. If you count on a collision with a strong opponent, then perhaps these are just losses and no gain.

[Kurare]

Quote: Razvedka_Boem

The construction of the fleet is completely subordinate to the ongoing foreign policy.

That is what should be put at the forefront when designing and ordering such weapons. Americans make their aircraft carriers based on their strategy of "projecting power" anywhere in the world.

In general, the RAND study is very similar to the order: "we are doing everything right, we ordered the right ships, we sawed the loot correctly."

Will be able.

Provided that:
1. AUG will be practically motionless.
2. There will be a hurricane / typhoon - in which there will be no opportunity to keep Hokai in the air.
3. Simultaneous approach of more than 80-100 Gauges, walking along a low-altitude trajectory (without a high-altitude marching section).
Only then is it possible to destroy the AUG with Caliber.

We need AB for exactly the same purpose for which the USSR Navy required them: first of all, to ensure the combat stability of the fleet forces covering the positional areas of the SSBN.
It is impossible to provide air defense for these ship groups by surface ships and coastal aviation: air defense systems are limited by the radio horizon, and the approach time of reinforcements from coastal airfields is longer than the time that aircraft carriers reach the launch distance (based on the fact that the cover line should be allocated from the naval base and regions - somewhere to Svalbard).
Normal AB is, first of all, an opportunity to see enemy aircraft beyond the horizon and intercept carriers before they reach the launch line of the RCC. In addition, the presence of AB cover forces in the composition forces the enemy to reduce the number of vehicles in the strike group due to the need to allocate part of the forces to the air clearing and cover group of strike machines. Moreover, to counteract our aircraft carrier aviation, the outfit of "clearing and covering" forces should be greater than in the case of the same coastal aviation forces - because the aircraft carrier will be able to quickly reinforce the duty forces with reserves.

Yes, nothing. Great ocean nonsense to scare Aboriginal people armed with weapons 70 years ago. In the presence of more or less developed air defense and coastal anti-ship batteries, the Tomahawks submarines are the first to enter the business, trying to destroy radar and air defense control posts. When all this is suppressed, then aviation will fly out and bomb ground targets that cannot answer it, mainly armored vehicles and warehouses. So, an aircraft carrier with the whole AUG will not be the first to do business until the enemy’s air defense assets are cleared.

Well, not quite like that.
Radar / RTV should be suppressed even during the Tomahawks strike.
Therefore, the aircraft carrier will always be near during the first strike.
Growlers, Hokai - will always participate in the first wave.

Or "hornets" with a PRR with cover and a control unit from an "electronic hornet" EW. The same HARMs allow launching without preliminary capture of the target, in the area of ​​the probable location of the radar - that is, they can be launched from MV and PMV because of the horizon.

The bulk of comments are frivolous: "a large cabinet falls louder", etc. It is always good to joke, but one must remember that that country has the greatest experience in the operation of such ships and in destruction. How many Japanese aircraft carriers went down during the war? About two dozen?
This type of ship has tremendous survivability and 144 vigorous ammunition on board. Each - for 144. Aircraft carriers about ten (late already, count yourself who wants it). How many total? No jokes yet?
Our fleet has no task more difficult than to get to this scum and hit it. Despite all our good equipment (including ships) - it is simply not enough for all AUGs. 4-5 air regiments are sitting on each such monster: all that is needed: AWACS, electronic warfare and reconnaissance, attack aircraft, rescuers ...
All your laughter from the fact that you are not responsible for the fact that all this armada went to fish to entertain with their appearance. And you don’t need to make fools of amers, but you need to say thank you, that battleships like Iowa are again in conservation. I well remember the BF chuck, when one such steel dreadnought ran into the Baltic in 1986. Armor of the citadel - 800-1000mm - deck from 80 to 200 - how do you take it ?? The whole Baltic Fleet (that Baltic Fleet was more than the current one) was practically powerless. For comparison: the armor penetration of the French Exocet RCC - 80mm. Ours - I do not know. But 80mm versus 800! Here you can laugh nervously.

Citadel Armor - 800-1000mm

Divide into two - you will not be mistaken.

[Al_lexx]

You can sink anything. The larger the ship, the more its owners tremble for it, which means the more escort ships. Those. with an increase in displacement, the group grows almost nonlinearly. Talk that one large aircraft carrier will be able to defend himself is pretty smiley. This has never been and never will be. no matter how many planes he carries on board and no matter what classes they are. In short, a large carcass falls louder.
