A year later, Ford can move, now the problem is in the elevators

55
After more than 12 months of repair work, the U.S. Navy re-accepted the power plant designed for the latest American aircraft carrier fleet "Gerald R. Ford." Now she again has to undergo testing as part of an operational deployment. This was stated in the military department of the country.





100 The 000-ton warship is the largest and most expensive Navy ever made; its value amounted to 13 billion dollars, at least by 20% exceeding the originally projected expenses. Energy is generated by two nuclear reactors powered by A1B uranium fuel. According to estimates by the World Nuclear Association, 25 reactors are% more powerful than those used on aircraft carriers of the Nimitz type.

It is noted that it took 400 000 man-hours to correct the defect of the ship's propulsion system, which was allegedly committed at the manufacturing stage, and not caused by inadequate operation. The problem was that the steam generated during the operation of the reactors did not rotate the screws.

However, engines are not everything that keeps Ford at a mooring. Only two of the 11 elevators operate, designed to deliver ammunition to the flight deck, which should equip aircraft-carrier-based aircraft. According to the publication Sputnik, apparently, before the transfer of the ship of the Navy, scheduled for October, this flaw will not be eliminated.

    So this is not for you Kuzya, who, although he smokes, walks along the oceans. This is for you universal people and an elven miracle of technology!
    What are elevators? Ugh! It is much more fun that the aircraft carrier is designed for the F-35 and it is the F-35 that is not capable of launching. And catapults over steam have the main advantage in adjusting the force, which allows you to launch drones. But this is on paper, but in real life - it cannot launch drones ... Well, and there, by the little things, such as the fact that the air finishers have a resource less than declared by 20.
    But I’m overwhelmed! This is not tfuvata for you, in which everyone steals and knows nothing! These are elves who can! To steal and build crookedly

          Why are you doing this? Just so, what would you leave your mark?
          Are you apparently a great aircraft designer? Maybe you are Tupolev, Ilyushin, Antonov or Sukhoi? No? Then why do you write such nonsense? After all, you understand airplanes and their operation in the same way as a ballerina in speleology.

      11 aircraft carriers in service. 2 aircraft carriers are being built at the same time. Meanwhile, in Russia they do not know what to do with the sunken floating dock, where the "Admiral Kuznetsov" was being repaired. In the meantime, Russia still cannot indicate the exact dates for the beginning of the design and construction of a new aircraft carrier for the Russian Navy. As the saying goes, "feel the difference."
      I have never been a fan of the United States, its policies, etc., but such an outrageous "hurray-patriotism" and senseless slinging mud at a "potential enemy" does not cause anything but bewilderment and irritation.

        I would like to find out the number of combat-capable stealth, and not their total number, I think you can immediately divide by 3 the number, then even in half, eliminating conditionally combat-ready. Russia needs ships for defense, and an aircraft carrier is a purely offensive ship, and even with reservations, dozens, if not hundreds of reviews of major military conflicts show the failure of aircraft carriers to launch missile and bomb attacks on the enemy, the difference in air sorties compared to ground airfields, in hundreds / thousand times less

        And why does the continental power Russia need aircraft carriers if we do not have normal warm seas, where such huge vessels could be based for a long time without fatigue for metal from temperature extremes and other risks? Only the Black Sea with its Bosphorus Strait and the Montreux convention. And why should we go on colonial expeditions to maintain the ruble exchange rate around the world? For this you need to have the culture and mentality of the Anglo-Saxon. To begin with, go to knock on your neighbor with the help of civil denunciation, then take his wife as your wife, and rent out an apartment to your own children. Look, in 20 years, we will begin external expansion into the world. Well, if for the 40th year we have been watching "The Irony of Fate" on New Year's Eve with an Olivier salad, we walk for almost 2 weeks, and when we see a foreigner, we creep in feelings: from a liberal with a kiss to a patriot-padded jacket, who is blurred in feelings of hospitality, then then forget about aircraft carriers in Russia.

                Yes, and he sowed two planes.

                Because an aircraft carrier, the cruiser performed tasks unusual for it, like an aircraft carrier. Namely, - inflicted ground strikes in depth on land. And this is against the irregular forces of the ground enemy. Instead of taking off in a light with air-to-air missiles against other fighters that attack the naval grouping, as was conceived by the USSR navy. What's incomprehensible?

                  Do not drive.
                  American aircraft carriers shied away from ours.
                  And now we are near San Diego, in order to prevent Vinsionar from “raising another bandustan in the peaceful expanses of the Pacific Ocean”.

                  “To all the ships in the area, they call the USS at the exit from San Diego!” - Strengthened our confidence in the future airborne station "Raid". The American fishing trawlers lying nearby were ignored by the warriors.

                  “A ship in my course five miles, answer me!” The aircraft carrier Carl Vinson is calling!

                  This is us. I looked in the direction of the assistant:

                  - Answer?

                  - Come on!

                  “Yu-es-es“ Carl Vinson, ”answers the ship according to your course. Switch to the 11 channel for further communication, - put the receiver into the socket and repeatedly pressed the button until the number "11" was highlighted.

                  - Thank you sir! Please let me know if you see a Soviet ship in your area? - emerged on the new channel "Carluccio".

                  - No, skipper. Only American flag fishing vessels. You can safely follow the course taken.

                  “Thanks for the help, sir!” - the aircraft carrier was delighted, - Notify the type of your ship.

                  - Auxiliary of the Navy. The end of the connection - quickly finished unnecessary inquiries, sent the phone to its place.

                  “Vinson” significantly increased its speed and, after 15 minutes, it was already half a mile on our port side. A stunned watch officer stood on his bridge, no longer expecting anything good from such a pleasant day.

                  I looked at the starpom again.

                  - Come on! - he smiled.

                  “Carl Vinson, have you found the Soviet ship?” - I asked in a very serious voice.

                  - Soviet ship, says the commander of the aircraft carrier. Stop any attempts to get in touch with us! - Admiral's voice sounded like the voice of a vampire, stumbled upon a bunch of garlic.

                  Later, Vinsonyar landed aircraft from North Island, Le Moore and Alameda and fled towards Japan, but we already knew how and where he would go and even when he returned home in many months.

                  I love aircraft carriers! Gently…

            There was an 1 demonstration call to Syria. Purely for public relations purposes, as well as gaining combat experience, which was not even in the Soviet Navy. And it was an aircraft carrier cruiser, the essence of which is to defend the ship from other enemy aircraft and, if possible, from other enemy ships. When it was designed, it was not planned that it would strike ground-based guerrilla-terrorist units inland.

      To steal and build crookedly

      It’s not just to steal, but shamelessly rob the buyer, give him an unworkable product and then test and finish, in fact, at his expense.
      This technique worked out by Bill Gates on MS DOS, which became minimally stable only to version 3.30, having already been sold in millions of copies. The same thing happened with Windows - they sold for more than 10 years, the first minimally stable Windows turned out only in the early 2000s, it was pretty much modified Windows 98, while before it four previous paralyzed versions crammed buyers with both cheeks.
      And even today, already in 2019, who voluntarily transplants from the 7th Windows, which was also treated for almost two five-year plans, to the "eight" or "ten"?

          As for "your" - you turned it down abruptly, even Torvalds did not write the OS alone.
          And at the current work of Windows, there is an urgent need, although it used to be involved in creating system software for a completely different OS.
          The example with MS DOS was not taken from the ceiling, there bugs such as core unresponsiveness lived up to vin98. At the same time, PC DOS was created, and there was a completely different approach to users.

        Each Windows at the very beginning of its life cycle needed improvements. Nevertheless, no one could offer anything better to the layman.

        I moved in 2015, just as Windows 10 came out. In the same way, in 2009 I moved to Windows 7. 7ka is a good system, but its support will soon end. Drivers for new hardware are not written to it. 10ka it works quite steadily and is updated. I see no reason not to switch to it.

          Yes, as a purely user-friendly Windows platform, it is quite acceptable. But for software developers - an endless stream of new bunts with each update plus a Procrustean bed of unobvious restrictions.
          For example, vin8 and vin 8.2 turned out to be very different OS.
          But the point was that it became normal to sell a semi-finished product, and then bring it to mind at the expense of buyers.

      I’m embarrassed to ask myself, at least understand what you wrote? How is it specifically for f35, and f18, etc. can’t take off from it? Maybe you got it wrong, although this is not surprising?)

        Both F-35 and F-18 took off from it. Electro-catapults gave 4 failures for more than 700 take-offs.
        And two dozen fixed delays during takeoffs. This is a lot, and catapults (their software and
        power supply) finish.

    ... half of them are under repair, at any given moment no more than 4 is ready to go to sea

    2 aircraft carriers are being built simultaneously
    ... and bullshit, which in principle is not combat ready, to build an unarmed trough - in the tradition of the mattress of the Navy - you can recall at least all three non-firing Zyama, at least unarmed troughs of the LCS ... And yes, I’ve got it! If. certainly not to recall that for the sake of this the United States practically stole its own land army, for which reason it was raked out with a full spoon in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. And so - yes, too much

      And so what? Any warship undergoes scheduled repairs after the next trip. I can’t imagine a situation where it would take all US aircraft carriers to go to sea at the same time.

      While they are only at the initial stage of construction, it is too early to talk about any combat readiness.

        Direct lies - in the 2017 year it was INTRODUCED into the fleet. And the propulsion system was accepted a SECOND TIME. The first time they accepted it, it turned out to be inoperative, and how did they receive it, with their eyes closed? In the initial stage of construction - the third aircraft carrier of the series, in the final - the second. and the first - already in the fleet for a long time, that's just completely unfit for work

          Ale is sick, I didn’t talk about Ford. "Ford" is the lead ship of the series, naturally on it certain flaws will emerge, which will gradually be finished.

          And two more will be laid and built at the same time. A total of 5 pieces by the end of the decade. Good pace. No other country in the world can afford such a scale. And I see no reason to be ironic. While you keep throwing hats, keep going.

            Yes, not about him, "they" - plural - it speaks of ONE aircraft carrier. And they are incapable, and in principle - all three laughing Here it is "they". Painful.
            And 2 more non-ready troughs will be built. With which I congratulate them. I wish them a dozen more non-shooting Zyam to build a complete collection, so that it was more fun. otherwise they hadn’t been called stupid for a long time, probably for a couple of hours ... There’s the news that they “didn’t succeed” with the new ships, they themselves admit.
            And combat readiness is not immediately required from him, right. Not then built. Who needs a warship? The goal was only to cut the budget ...

    Ford’s crew was lucky, no hikes, no flights, but the service is on, full of relaxation, which isn’t good for combat tone. I can advise the teddy bear to scrape so that it sparkles or sharpen anchors! ☺!

    The first ship in the series, because there are so many problems, new technologies are applied on it. It is funny that many laugh with the Americans, but at the same time not a single country in the world produces such close ships.

    Fuflo 22 killed its pilots altogether. Discontinued. Bullshit 35 is a very bad copy of the Yak-141, some of the documentation of which they bought in 1994-95, their aircraft carriers are idle and only two of them float in total. But nobody is interested in it. "Kuzya" is an aircraft-carrying heavy cruiser with an air wing and other gadgets. And as there, some non-scientists wrote, should fulfill the role of an aircraft carrier. Question: what role should an aircraft-carrying heavy cruiser play? Aircraft carriers, this is the last century, and even more so, such unfinished ones. Nobody canceled the planned repairs of our aircraft-carrying cruiser. But some just don't know. You might think ships of other countries do not undergo scheduled repairs.

      Yeah, the USSR Navy was planning to have at least 2000 project 8 aircraft-carrying cruisers in operation by 1143. They were probably stupid, they did not consult you.
