The US Navy decided to order two aircraft carriers and save

The US Navy has entered into a contract with the shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding (HII-NNS), which will build two nuclear aircraft carrier-class Gerald R. Ford for the Navy. Buying two aircraft carriers at once, the fleet will save about 4 billion dollars.

As a continuation темы on the "VO".

The US Congress has already approved this item of expenditure in the 2019 National Defense Budget Act for the year.

"With this contract, we wanted to optimize the cost of materials and construction work, and we were able to save a significant amount compared to single orders- declared Minister of Naval Forces V.Spenser. - One contract for the construction of two aircraft carriers is also beneficial for the order performer, since the company will save time by rebuilding two ships with the same characteristics. This is faster and more profitable than fulfilling two orders with different requirements. ”

The terms of the contract also provide for the integration of the aircraft carrier with F-35C Lightning II fighters, the Mark 38 artillery mount and deck drones MQ-25 Stingray, saving another $100 million.

The program for the purchase of aircraft carriers class Gerald R. Ford was constantly postponed due to lack of budgetary funds. The first ship of this class, the CVN-78, acquired in July of the 2017 of the year, is the most expensive warship of all history The US Navy is about 13 billion dollars.

According to information from 2018 year:
“Due to the funding problems of the US Navy, it was expected that the first launch of an aircraft carrier of the Gerald R. Ford class would take place 2021 year, but now the first launch was scheduled for 2022 year. An improved follower of Ford - the John F. Kennedy class CVN-79 aircraft carrier will probably be obtained in the 2020 year. The third ship of this class - CVN-91 - will go to the US Navy in 2029-2030. It is planned to put a total of 12 Ford class aircraft carriers in addition to the already operating 11 ”).

US Navy, if you believe the statements in the States themselves, plan to exploit aircraft carriers Gerald R. Ford over the next years with 80.

Give more than 6 pieces at once and simultaneously.
This is such a huge waste of resources that could go for the good of all mankind.

[bouncyhunter]

I read the article and was touched: what mattresses are zealous, they are literally ready to save on everything. And who accuses them of cutting ??? (overt sarcasm)

[Lord of the Sith]

Good afternoon, Pasha This news a couple of days already.

The total cost of construction of aircraft carriers CVN 80 and CVN 81, taking into account the separately ordered orders of the Navy, supplies of weapons and equipment estimated at $ 24 billion instead of $ 28 billion according to initial estimates.

Actual work Huntington Ingalls Industries was launched to prepare for the construction of the first of the contracted aircraft carriers on January 31 (and the third in a series like Gerald R. Ford) CVN 80 Enterpise - Newport News Shipbuilding in May 2016, and since 2017 manufacturing of constructions and ordering of equipment for subcontractors are in progress. Official the start of construction of the CVN 80 Enterpise is scheduled for 2020, and its delivery to the US Navy - in 2028.

That is, 12 years will be built for 12 billion dollars each, and then how it goes.

So it goes. Well, in 12 years a stopudovo contract will gain new costs for shrinkage and utruska ...

About three days ago this news was already.

It was definitely. My commentary on it was well ousted.

US Navy decided to order two aircraft carriers and save

Yes, judging by the decisions, there are already a dozen new aircraft carriers, five new nuclear submarines, and even a dozen new destroyers and more good things awaiting solutions, right from the decisions. Tales for the budget, and tomorrow they decide to buy two more Americas, so that it would be, one for the war, the other for the interests of the government, although this is the same thing, interests and war ....

[Cowbra]

At the first, did the catapults and elevators be repaired? I love the cheers patriotic news from the penguins.
- Let's build two more loot carriers!
- So after all, even one nifiga does not work, and dear as a dog ...
- Build two more nifig not working - they will not work nifiga 10% percent cheaper!

[lopuhan2006]

12 in addition to 11? Those. 23? Author!!! Maybe before you post your secondary article, still re-read it?

[Kawado]

12 in addition to 11? Those. 23?

Balm for the soul)))
So it’s clear that only 6 fleets and new CVs will gradually replace the old one by one with a fleet + reserve for repairs and modernization. Those. as it was in the ranks of 9-10, it will remain so.

[Kawado]

In total, it is planned to put into service 12 Ford class aircraft carriers in addition to 11 existing ones ”

The US Navy, according to statements in the States themselves, plans to operate Gerald R. Ford aircraft carriers over the next 80-plus years

This is good, the more huge and powerful atomic pumps that will pump money from the US budget - the better.

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

And "our defective managers" save without building a single one.

[Kawado]

And "our defective managers" save without building a single one.

And we have no task to bring the World to its knees.
We have other tasks - to effectively protect our territory, and to develop the capabilities of our country that it has, and not reap a penny selling resources at a bargain price. We still didn’t have enough junk like expensive ocean barges, with parasites on board.
One Kuznetsov is enough for now, in the project a new AB to replace Kuznetsov. Ideally, for Russia, of course, have two aircraft carriers, but no more. One is being repaired / modernized - the second is in operation. For short-term sorties like Syria, etc.
We need more TARKR like Peter the Great.

And why on now bookmark aircraft carrier? Do we have an escort under it, new supply ships? Do we have shipyards for laying such a fool? Do we have specialists and not only a designer who could build an aircraft carrier? We are TARK Nakhimov We’ll modernize the 6 year and we won’t see the end and the edge ... I won’t be surprised if in the near future corruption cases to modernize this cruiser begin to surface.
We would have to debug the serial production of frigates and corvettes with domestic SU. I’m generally silent about the Super-Gorshkov bookmark, the horse didn’t lie there.

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

Well, yes, we need more stadiums, bobsleigh tracks, the "black hole" of "Vostochny". This is where you can make money quite safely. And to build a fleet, it can sink with such theft (and in this case, you can sit down, although, as we usually do - and not for long). Yes, I don’t need an aircraft carrier, but a machine-tool factory would not hurt my country. Although what I mean, I drilled a hole in the ground, threw a pipe, lick it to anyone, so that they would buy from “us”. Yes, for such a "business" and the people are only an item of expenditure (the less, the more O2)

[g1washntwn]

And if both aircraft carriers are welded on the sides and provide openings with oarlocks in the area of ​​the waterline, seaworthiness will improve and you can save even more on the propeller thrust by African Americans)))

How AUG “war” (or free thoughts of ensign, without claim to truth in the highest instance)

So, let's begin. We all (those from whom in the Soviet school tried to make a man-creator, not a consumer) from natural science lessons roughly know how a cyclone arises: “An upward flow of air heated up by this part arises over a relatively warm part of the surface of the ocean (sea), which, in turn, raises water vapor into the atmosphere and, falling into more chilled areas, precipitates. ”
Now let's look at what AUG is. These are two nuclear reactors of an aircraft carrier, the cooling circuits of which heat outboard water. Nuclear reactors of 4 submarines. Several dozen thermal units of auxiliary vessels, which also do not cool the sea. Plus an air wing that turns kerosene into carbon dioxide (greenhouse) gas, superheated steam and aerosol particles (soot). The wind rose of the whole world is more or less known. We adjust the AUG to a given point of the sea-okiyana, and how “These Lada, what I think I don’t know, spin under my feet, spin, spin.” (c) warm the water. Why is ALL EUROPE standing in the Q position, having inserted “tsaki” in the nose (after all, they don’t bomb, but rain and snow, causing billions in losses, it’s from God), and the “god” also hints: “You’ll deal with Mordor (SP -2) - you can warm up some water with a couple of YBPs. ” And comrade Eun, squinting slyly, laughed at Donny (all cyclones were drifting north, to Kamchatka, Donny had to be taught natural science).
I remind you that this is just my IMHO, a person without a higher education, but, according to a mathematics teacher, with an analytical mindset. The same notorious HAARP, which has been scaring us for so long, has, compared with AUG, an order of magnitude lower output power and an indistinct mechanism of influence on the weather. Please kick, BUT without going over to the person and with arguments or numbers “in hand”.

[Kawado]

Over a relatively warm section of the surface of the ocean (sea), an upward flow of air heated by this section occurs, which, in turn, raises water vapor into the atmosphere and, falling into more chilled areas, precipitates

You can’t argue with the truth)))
However, all AUGs taken together are not particularly strong in the hydrological cycle.
Any CHPP will more than surpass them in terms of performance, and CHPPs on our planet are unmeasured.

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

The CHP plant heats water "in the circuit", the air (the heat capacity of which is much lower than that of water) around itself, and is located on land, which does not contribute to raising the required amount of water masses for the formation of clouds (for example, it spits out a little steam from the grating house).

[Kawado]

so, spits out a little steam from the graveyard

There is also a lot of evaporation from the earth (in Russia anyway), and in Russia there is at least a third of the total.
These terrestrial evaporations just condense from the air into the steam from the graveyard at the thermal power station, and this steam can be quite a lot:

But at nuclear power plants, for example, huge volumes of water are used to cool the reactor, if so in 1000, more than from an aircraft carrier.

Your photo is not a cooling tower, but an ordinary chimney of a modern CCGT unit. I would rate it as 420. Yes, most likely CCGT-420T

[Kawado]

I didn’t find it with the cooling tower, I had a photo of how a cloud came out from the St. Petersburg Northern Thermal Power Station, covering almost half a city, in clear weather. Therefore, I had to take it from the Internet.

there are cooling towers ...
a lot depends on temperature and humidity.
we are supposed to violet from the cooling tower of steam or not, it is important how much it is.

[Kawado]

But the evaporation from the Kola NPP, which is many times more powerful than AUG:

[Orkraider]

I will add that some thermal power plants or state district power plants have their own closed cooling circuit and either direct-flow (heat and water discharge into water bodies) or (most) with a cycle of recycled water. In addition, the vast majority of those undergoing reconstruction are equipped with heat recovery units and heat recuperators in boilers and turbines.
But, when using PTS with (circulating systems) using cooling through the Cooling Tower - you are wrong to say that

not conducive to raising the required amount of water

Their task is to dissipate the heat in the atmospheric air, which occurs during evaporation: that is, heated and saturated with water vapor air is removed from the tower to the atmosphere.

[Orkraider]

As confirmation, the design calculation for evaporation for the cooling tower of one unit of the state district power station. The calculation is based on the use of a water trap. Tables below:

[Orkraider]

Table 1.1 with hourly loss of Water (evaporation):

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

The scale. The zone under the AUG is only a core, above which an ascending stream appears, and the evaporating surface of the ocean, over which air currents move in the direction of this "core" (after all, we know from natural history how the wind promotes evaporation) is much larger. And no cooling circuits can compare with this area in terms of vaporization power.

There is no core there, and there is no zone either. there is a point that gets a little warmer for a few minutes at best.
Roughly speaking, find a barrel of rainwater, measure the temperature, pour a test tube of boiling water there and measure again ...

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

do you think nuclear installations and diesel engines with AUG turbines work for "a couple of minutes"? Nude

[Kawado]

AUG changes the temperature at a specific point in the ocean for several minutes, at best by a couple of degrees and only on the surface, and the air temperature is even less - almost nothing. This all the more cannot create any upward flow ... and even if at least something appears, it will simply be blown away by a light breeze.
In order for AUG to somehow influence the global climate, or at least create a serious upward flow, it will have to stand and boil a couple of square kilometers of water around itself in shallow water for at least half an hour. Then a light upward flow will appear and a couple of water tanks converted into water vapor will reach the upper layers in the atmosphere.

[Fkjydjckfrgh]

They cut circles in a particular sector WEEKS. And it is not necessary to do this in shallow water, warmer water will ALWAYS be on the surface (this is our sinful world). Do you really think: Once - and went cyclone.

[Kawado]

for a serious cyclone, two huge air masses with different temperatures should collide. A small sliver in the middle of the ocean cannot do this in any way.

[Kharkiv]

Together with aviation and other components, the cost of one aircraft carrier is approximately $ 25 billion. This target, even as part of the AUG, tightly covered by the air defense of cruisers and destroyers, is easily destroyed by one hypersonic Dagger missile worth $ 1.5 million. A cost ratio of 1 to nearly 17000 suits us

[Topgun]

in America, everyone is stupid and aircraft carriers are building because brains are not enough to understand that they are out of date ...
the trouble is that people who write this do not understand that an aircraft carrier will become obsolete only when aviation becomes obsolete - for it is just a floating airdrome
since we are dealing with an airdrome, it will be primarily aircraft and not ship’s air defense that they will meet, and they will not even meet with a dagger, but with its carrier ...

[Kharkiv]

Come on, meet the Dagger carrier 2 kilometers away, on the territory of the Russian Federation. To clap - do not roll bags

People are able to save, just order two -and if 5 at once?
