US Navy writes off USS "Harry S. Truman" nuclear carrier

The United States intends to reduce its aircraft fleet. The new budget of the US Navy, considered by Congress, involves the decommissioning of the nuclear aircraft carrier "Harry Truman" instead of repairing and recharging reactors. Reports the edition about it Stars and Stripes.

According to the American edition, in case the US Congress adopts a new budget for the American fleet the following year, the aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman will be decommissioned and disposed of until 2024. The reason is simple - the lack of money for maintenance. According to the Pentagon, if instead of the planned repair in 2024 with the reloading of the aircraft carrier’s reactors, it will be decommissioned, this will save $ 6,5 billion, and taking into account the costs of its operation until the end of service in 2048, up to 30 billion.

This decision is supported in the US Navy. According to Vice-Admiral Randy Cretes, this will allow "freeing up new financial opportunities for the implementation of other projects."

The atomic aircraft carrier USS "Harry S. Truman" (CVN-75) is the eighth in a series of 10 ships of the Nimitz type (Nimitz) US Navy. Launched on November 29 1993 of the year, launched on September 07 1996 of the year. He joined the US Navy 25 July 1998 of the year.

According to the accepted naval doctrine of the United States, the American fleet must have in its composition 12 aircraft carriers. Today, the Navy has 11 ships of this class: the 10 of the Nimitz type and the lead aircraft carrier of the new generation Gerald R. Ford. Two aircraft carriers of the new type are under construction, their commissioning is scheduled for the second half of the 20-s. Two more aircraft carriers: the ancestor of the Nimitz and George HW Bush series are under repair.

Until the "Truman" was put on pins and needles, Russia needs to hurry up and buy it out ...

[Bull Terrier]

what would they throw 6 yards a year into the wind?)

[Nasrat]

I ship a little more than 20 years and his needles are a waste, considering which ship it is !!! M-yes ... it’s good that we don’t have such budget eaters ... especially 12 pcs !!! The Chinese are planning to build this miracle ... I hope they don’t refuse - they don’t have any money to put in, but right away there is where to dump the dough ....

[Buffet]

To be honest, this logic does not fit in my head. Repairing a completely viable ship is more expensive than building a new one. And they also say "let's introduce lobbying officially," that's what you can get to ...

I am tormented by the same question !!!!
amers have reduced feed base? .....
apparently, so many bucks are printed that further printing leads to unpredictable consequences ... what should they do? .....
1. reset the accounts of those who will not mind, and if they ... liquidate.
2. lobby / force to purchase their goods / services for a refund.
3. borrow from anyone you can borrow at zero%
something like that seen from the couch ...

Better to give Ukraine! She is a sea power!

He will drown her.

[Pushkowed]

In addition to jokes, but it will be the fastest and cheapest way to replenish the Navy of Russia new aircraft carrier.

[Ascold1901]

And why are Russian aircraft carriers?

[Piramidon]

So that later there was another reason to cry that the pensioners had taken the money.

[cast iron]

How is this why? A strong fleet is needed to carry out its imperialist interests around the world.

[Bull Terrier]

they will park it at the Bosphorus and from there they will show all the figs until it drowns itself)

[abrakadabre]

In this scenario, they have three options:
1. Give Ukraine
2. Present to Poland (carry apples for sale around the world)
3. Present to the Baltic tigers, as a set for a gas carrier.

[AAK]

But what about the old-time friendly "banzai" on the VO (in the comments to the article about what is better for the fleet - the "leader" or the BDK), that without aircraft carriers, the fleet is not a fleet, but here it is right away: both expensive and the metric system is not the same ... but it's nice that my sarcasm stirred up the people so much .. :)))

[Razvedka_Boem]

For a long time, I once wrote in a comment that the maintenance of the ocean fleet, and such an aircraft carrier is an ocean class, so to speak, is very expensive. Moreover, the training of pilots of naval aviation is the same thing, very expensive, the elite of the elites are sea pilots.
But usually, most commentators as my avatar with a flag sees do not rise above the level of stinging comments ..)
Well, the question is - why do we need an ocean fleet?
There are cheaper solutions to protect the coast and just show the flag.
The ocean fleet is needed when an expansion policy is pursued.
At the moment and in the near future (10-20 years), Russia will not pursue such a policy.

[cast iron]

A strong carrier ocean fleet is needed to realize and maintain its imperialist interests. Russia again did not set foot on the rails of capitalist imperialism, which means that it needs an ocean fleet.

[vkl.47]

Again, the Pentagon loot begs. A little 700 billion Baku.

[TermNachTer]

So there is not only for aircraft carriers, there is a lot of things, and the "calf is very small."

[Kuroneko]

Quote: AAK

Russia needs to make a fuss and redeem it ...

Can we go right into feet, pounds, inches and gallons? There, the whole structure is tied to the old metric, which America uses to this day.

[mvg]

feet, pounds, inches and gallons

Or maybe just rewrite the tablets, than to patch the bookmarks on the deck and still keep Kuzya 1,5 years in repair, for 40 billion? So there is an Aircraft Carrier, and we have Korytts. And it’s hardly cheaper to maintain. What technology to grab.
PS: How did the Americans and Vikramaditya miss this, right now, they would have steamed the F-18 without a tender, and would have hooked partners on the needle.

[YOUR]

Once they said, if you want to ruin the state, give them the battleship.

[Kuroneko]

Not so little.

Quite possible. I'll know.

Ukraine, it’s kind of small ... Although no, without us and the Crimea, it’s already small.

Hence the question: Where can I get a cruiser and money for it? For the present ...

There is no hope for the Americans, they are all trying to push them into some kind of fragile shuttles. But you must sooooso that right away ...

[Dimy4]

Yeah, practice as a target.

[bessmertniy]

It would be more logical if the aircraft carrier buys Iran for these purposes.

[AAK]

-12, not enough, however ... :)))

[AAK]

ABOUT! -16, already more interesting .. :))

[Е2 - Е4]

They also already understood that when the Great Superpower Russia has ZIRCONS, DAGGERS, POSEIDONA ... then the time of large ships was a thing of the past. Today is the time of small rocket ships, boats armed with these weapons.

[Nasrat]

Quote from the article:
To date, the Navy has 11 ships this class: 10 Nimitz type and the new generation parent aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford. Two new type aircraft carriers are under constructionTheir commissioning is scheduled for the second half of the 20s. Two more aircraft carriers: the ancestor of the Nimitz series and George HW Bush - are under repair.

They also understood ....

Hrenase understood ... in fact -15 pieces "for the mountain" are given ...

[Sergej1972]

Two under repair are among the eleven.

[just exp]

those under repair are included in those 11 pieces.
and 2 of them are older than 40 years, and 3 are older than 30 years.

[mvg]

there are ZIRCONS, DAGGERS, VISITORS ...

Exactly, Poseidon on the aircraft carrier, he’s so fast, you’ll run away from him!

[YOUR]

Boat ocean ship. May God grant that those on whom the development of our fleet depends do not think the same.
There are few idiots in the world, especially those who are at the helm of countries. Everyone understands that global war is the end of humanity. Everyone is preparing for a long sluggish war, and the countries on which it depends on humanity to burn out in a nuclear war or to develop further, will fight with the wrong hands and in foreign territories.
If you understand this then it’s wonderful. Now try to imagine what place DAGGERS, POSEIDONA AND ZIRCONES will occupy in such conflicts?
Thanks for the honest answer (unless of course it will)

But the aircraft carriers are very fit to drive the Papuans and other blacks in the desert

There is such a thing. We drove the aircraft carrier and let's hollow

That is why the most commissioned boats and tugboats, and not destroyers, nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, are the secret!

[rayruav]

e-2 e-4 are you so sure about this? they write off one, and two new projects are under construction

[bessmertniy]

If they really would like to save, then all the carriers would be sent for cutting. And so - just a feint with your ears - in order to quickly get a new one instead of an untreated aircraft carrier and thereby quickly get not only saved money, but also an appendage to them ..

[Beregovic_1]

Do not bother the person, he even posts this phrase in the news about the birthday of pop stars.

[Rzzz]

It is strange that a relatively new ship is written off, and the almost 50-year-old Nimitz is left, although it is certainly more problematic.

[Galleon]

This is not a write-off, this is conservation - the termination of operation while maintaining this opportunity in the future. They have successful experience in decommissioning large ships - they know that they can do this in the future. They considered that the number of aircraft carriers was excessive and decided to save resources a little. A smart move.

[UAZ 452]

But is it not written in the article that the disposal of the ship is planned in the 24th year?

[voyaka uh]

"Fords" began to make two at a time: lay two at a time. Because of this, the schedule of scheduled repairs and write-offs has changed.

[TermNachTer]

So far, they cannot dovetsi the first "to the mind", but it is better to keep silent about the schedules, because so much will bring the second one just scary to think about.

[evgen1221]

Oh, there’s not enough money to repair the barge))) It’s not otherwise that a couple of countries have not thrown themselves into the treasure. And turning on the machine is dangerous. Sadness is direct, and the trough of a hotz))))

[novel66]

more aircraft carrier - less aircraft carrier ....

[Grits]

Quote: novel xnumx

I agree. With so many aircraft carriers, the difference in a couple of pieces can be neglected. The squad did not notice the loss of a fighter

[novel66]

all the more so since they also chew for the escort ships

[TermNachTer]

With theirs show off, the absence of a pair of aircraft carriers is already noticeable, especially since the write-off of six Ticonderogs is on the way.

[askort154]

We are waiting for Proshenko’s statement any minute.
Trump promised me that if I win the elections, he will rename and give Ukraine an aircraft carrier - USS "Donald Trump".

[Simferopol]

Sorry, a good target were for Daggers

[Grits]

Will they really give Ukrainians? It has already become a good tradition.

[megadeth]

Russia would buy through 3 countries ...

If you want to ruin a country, give it ... an aircraft carrier

[g1v2]

It’s even interesting for what demon do we need an old American aircraft carrier? I am lost in conjecture. Is that to put on metal? However, I doubt that it will be beneficial. We ourselves still have enough old ships waiting for cutting and disposal.

[UAZ 452]

Is twenty already old? Then most of what is now the Russian Navy should be recognized as prehistoric.

[Corn]

Write off a 20-year-old nuclear carrier without any damage, are they not at all friendly with the cuckoo?
No, well I, of course, do not mind and only "FOR". I propose not to bother with conservation, and immediately put into the scrap ... if anything, even Russia will gladly help you to saw new ships on pins and needles, we already have experience
They also say that there is corruption and ineffective spending in Russia. Learn how a "sawmill" should work in countries of victorious democracies.

[Forest]

Let Müller investigate if there is a "Russian trace" here?

[Victoria-V]

Read the newspapers: Congress does not intend to dismiss the USS Truman. Do not show your ignorance, but how grandmothers are on a bench near the entrance ...

[orionvitt]

The reason is commonplace - the lack of money for maintenance

Good news, good news. Keep it up America.

[TermNachTer]

"Rotten" came out - "Ford" broke down again, "Truman" was on pins and needles, and who will support democracy in the whole world?

[TermNachTer]

PS And six "ticonderogs" to write off.

[Metallurg_2]

Better let the Ukrainians give.
But in general, really could not draw the toe in computers? There is not enough money for the global printing press.

[bone1]

The military budget is crazy, but there are still not enough grandmas

[UAZ 452]

If you think exclusively in the paradigm of "cost saving", then it is easier to disband the army altogether - the Yankees will save at least 750 yards of greenery (their military budget) annually on this.
well, or if it’s not so radical - we don’t need it ourselves, so lease the same Indians as we hand them the submarines. They will take it without repair.

[boathouse]

Some fake, why not Nimitz, not Eisenhower?
