The Pentagon thought about the gradual abandonment of the carrier fleet

US Department of Defense intends to comprehensively study the need for further development of the carrier fleet country or gradual abandonment of it. As he writes Defense NewsUS Deputy Secretary of Defense Michael Griffin directly raised the question of the need for further funding for the construction of aircraft carriers.

Speaking at a press conference in the Pentagon, U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Michael Griffin said the U.S. Department of Defense intends to carefully study the feasibility of investing in aircraft carriers or gradually reduce funding for the aircraft carrier fleet, redirecting funds to the development of other weapons, including the creation of hypersonic missiles.

Let's do a thought experiment. What do you think the Chinese leadership will be more afraid of: 2 thousand conventional missiles held by the United States and its allies in the Western Pacific, or one new aircraft carrier? Because these two points cost about the same money

- he said.

According to Griffin, there is no need to completely abandon aircraft carriers, but you need to think about the development of other weapons, especially since "US opponents have already found ways to fight aircraft carriers."

However, Griffin has opponents who believe that the so-called weapon a quick global strike cannot be considered an effective deterrent. According to them, the United States may not dare to strike with a hypersonic weapon, for example, on the territory of China, in response to an attack on American ships, since this could lead to an exchange of nuclear strikes.

Can you apply it against Iran or even North Korea, but against China? Chinese leaders have big doubts as to whether we will actually decide

- say opponents Griffin.

It is atomic aircraft carriers with their air wing that remain the most advanced weapons system - and will remain so in the future

- said a former US Navy pilot, Rear Admiral Roy Kelly.

There are doubts that aircraft carriers, with their air wings, are the most advanced weapons system. Of course it poses a serious threat, but is perfection itself? The admiral praises "his swamp".

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

There is no such doubt :) Today the 2 postulate is unshakable:
1) aviation is the best means of reconnaissance at sea.
2) Only aviation can effectively protect surface ships and land targets from a properly organized air strike.
As long as they are true, the dominance of naval aviation cannot be refuted

[maxim947]

They cited the Chinese as an example, which means they understand that the Russians are not afraid of either one or the other. )))

[Shurik70]

Wild argument.
"The leadership does not dare to hit China with missiles, because this will lead to a nuclear war. Therefore, we need to develop aircraft carriers."
And what will the aircraft carriers decide? Or a strike on Shanghai with non-nuclear weapons will not cause a nuclear response?

[krot]

Wow !!! Even the striped ones thought about the high cost and uselessness of this iron! )

Remember how many combat sorties land aviation (and, accordingly, emitted bombs on the heads of the enemy) and deck, during the Gulf War? The difference is an order of magnitude. And the NATO generals and admirals themselves were well aware of this, the aggression began only after the land aviation completed the relocation and delivered everything necessary. So, what is there a purely financial dispute, who will get more money off the military budget? Boeing, Lockheed or General Dynamics?

[A5V]

Well, probably because the base aircraft then exceeded the deck quantitatively by the same order?)) This is an old and hackneyed topic that was tackled on the same site by uv. Andrey from Chelyabinsk. In terms of the number of sorties per plane, the air force and navy aviation in Iraq were almost equal.

Quote: TermNachTER

Remember how many combat sorties land aviation (and, accordingly, poured bombs on enemy heads) and deck, during the Gulf War?

I remember, and you? US carrier-based aviation, which had only about a quarter of the total number of American tactical aircraft, completed about a quarter of all sorties. At the same time, it provided 41,3% of all sorties of heavy fighters and 30,9% of all sorties of attack aircraft. At the same time, carrier-based aircraft made about the same number of sorties as land aircraft and carried almost the same bomb load.
So what? What does this prove? Do you not understand that each kind of force has its own tasks? Do you seriously think that if land aviation dropped more bombs, then thereby it proved the uselessness of the deck? I hasten to note that for all the military conflicts of the Russian Federation in recent years (both Chechen, Georgian crisis, Syria), the strategic nuclear forces have never been used. Apparently, they are also not needed at all. Yes, and we also do not need military aviation - it did not help in the release of the Nord-Ost hostages ...
By the way, tell the Americans that they need to abandon strategic bombers urgently. And then they, too, lost in the "bomb tonnage" of the tactical ground operation.

[TermNachTer]

I read very different numbers and I believe them, because the volumes for placing fuel and ammunition on an aircraft carrier are by no means infinite. I don’t remember exactly, but with the intensive work of the aircraft carrier, the fuel and lubricants and aircraft need to be replenished every three to four days. And this is not a hell of a lot, and it’s not at all close to carry, not to mention spare parts and consumables for airplanes and helicopters. So, in the Gulf, carrier-based aviation showed that it is a very weak alternative to land, only in the case of complete absence of airfields.

With the well-organized work of the rear, this is not a problem. The US floating rear has enough transports and tankers to organize a "conveyor" for the supply of actively operating AUG. If you poison the transport from the base once every four days, then the AUG will replenish supplies every four days.

[TermNachTer]

And I read the opposite, that the mattresses with the rear are not very good now. Admirals are sounding the alarm. 10 AUG - this counts three vehicles in two days. And if on the way they get into a storm. Do you know how long it takes to load 10-15 thousand tons of general cargo onto a ship?

Not true. Aviation is the main air defense force. Ground-based air defense systems only complement and strengthen aviation.

[srelock]

Hmm ... Once upon a time, but times have changed.
In a nutshell, then modern aviation performs the air defense functions according to the residual principle, i.e. there and in those cases where it is not possible to solve the problem by ground or surface air defense forces.
For example, it is a long-range interception, patrolling or organizing a remote time zone, escort services , and the list of goals, by modern standards, is very small.

The task of gaining dominance in the air by NATO countries is solved precisely with the help of the Air Force. And this is the first and main task of their Air Force in any conflict.

[basmach]

Your postulates are based on obsolete capabilities. I have already written about aircraft carriers. To begin with, take-off and landing are possible in calm weather, not more than 3 points. Because the aircraft carrier goes against the wind at full speed to facilitate takeoff and landing. The second point is bandwidth. I met numbers here, which is the maximum, 360 flights per day. Ie 15 aircraft per hour. When working on targets covered by coastal defense, an aircraft carrier will not come closer than 500-600 km. To deliver an acceptable strike against targets covered by anti-aircraft defense will require at least two units. That is, to assemble a group of 8 aircraft, it will take half an hour. The first one to take off will burn kerosene in vain, reducing the radius of combat use.
In general, the postulate that these troughs are irreplaceable has been going on since WWII. But ... then there really were problems with reconnaissance at sea. But aircraft carriers were used in large quantities, providing a large one-time departure. And not one at a time, which gave effect. Plus, the air defense system of the ships could not cope with the raid of 15-20 aircraft at the same time (single ship) However, the conditions changed. Everything is ever becoming obsolete.

And I already explained to you the whole depth of your wrong.

Quote: basmach

Lies, flights can be carried out up to 5 points, with experienced crews - up to 7. That is about the same as cruise missiles.

Quote: basmach

The second point is bandwidth. I met numbers here, which is the maximum, 360 flights per day. Ie 15 aircraft per hour.

I'll explain to you in a simple way. On average, one combat aircraft during the day makes 1,2-2 sorties (if necessary, maybe more) - we look at the statistics for the same "Desert Storm", where it almost never exceeded 1,5. So, if there are 70 aircraft on AB and the standard of 140 sorties per day, we get 2 sorties. In other words, carrier-based aircraft can take off at exactly the same frequency as ground aircraft.

Quote: basmach

When working on targets covered by coastal defense, an aircraft carrier will not come closer than 500-600 km.

He breaks up the coastal defense and then comes closer

Quote: basmach

To deliver an acceptable strike against targets covered by anti-aircraft defense will require at least two units. That is, to assemble a group of 8 aircraft, it will take half an hour.

Instead of carrying fierce nonsense, just watch a video of how American planes REALLY take off from an AV. There is a car and a small trolley of such videos in the internet, but if it's lazy - for example, here in this article https://topwar.ru/31458-nekotorye-osobennosti-ispolzovaniya-palubnoy-aviacii-superavianoscev-tipa-nimitz-ch1.html
Video No.2. If you look lazily, I report that 5 aircraft with 2 catapults started in 6 min 26 sec. And the American AB, for a second, has 4 catapults

Quote: basmach

In general, the postulate of the indispensability of these troughs dates back to WWII

Let's dwell on the fact that you know nothing about the times of WWII, nor about the operation of AB today. And judging by the fact that our previous discussion disappeared in vain, you don’t want to know

[basmach]

Have you ever seen what 5 points are. First look what’s with the ship, then write. Than gouging the coastal defense. Your optimism? Or will the command of this defense sit and stupidly wait? And 360 sorties per day is the maximum. Ie one plane in 4 minutes. I did not serve on the AB, but I served on the concrete and TEC, what flights and training are, I know firsthand. And do not rub me about catapults and stuff. The aircraft must be rolled out, fixed, prepared. Since the catapult is nearby, it is done alternately so that the afterburner does not burn. This strip allows you to fly four.

You still do not understand that the "formula"

Oh, finally something began to reach you. That's exactly what you need to take to the deck, give after-flight service, refuel, arm, pre-flight training, and only then you can fly again. And that 140 standard sorties are limited precisely by the capabilities of an aircraft carrier PREPARE planes to take off, SERVICE AFTER them, and then PREPARE REPEATED FOR THE SCHOOL, And the climb of the air group takes a minimum of time.

[basmach]

No again. You will not be able to build a squadron on the deck immediately, there is no place. The landing deck must be free! Accordingly, it is necessary to lift from the hold, where they have already been tested and prepared. Lifting, leveling planes, docking with a catapult, inspection, this is what eats up time.
Give me examples of the victory of naval aviation over land with an equal number of aircraft. They do not exist. In order to apply RBU, it is necessary to suppress coastal air defense, the radius of which is greater than the radius of the aircraft SD. . One regiment Tu-22m3 is guaranteed to destroy an aircraft carrier. And further. Look at any video of flights. You will not see much excitement anywhere. It can’t be put on a swinging deck. With 7 points you can’t stand on deck, let alone landing. This is a storm and all that is not fixed on the deck is overboard. This alone gives you out as an amateur, the sea is only in YouTube, planes are there
I understand that arguing with a sofa expert is useless.
He himself served in the 523 Orsha Apib, at the same airdrome as the TU-22 regiment. The task is to destroy the aircraft carrier. Often flew with the X-22. And then he himself served in special units with them

Basmach, well, people are already good at making people laugh.
First, the landing deck MUST NOT be vacant. Read at least some specialized imported literature on this matter. The rise of a large air group is based on the fact that the planes "locking" the landing deck take off first - that's all.
Secondly. Take any photo of Amer's AB and count the number of aircraft that are placed on the flight deck outside the landing deck. There are much more 2 squadrons typed. Here you have, for example, a diagram from an American technical publication

Can you count? :)))
Thirdly. Aircraft are NOT PREPARED in the hold. They are not even prepared in the hangar. They are prepared directly on the flight deck. Although there is an opportunity to prepare planes for departure in the hangar, you can use it only in case of emergency - refueling and suspension of weapons in the hangar are a little troublesome
Fourth. I understand that the Chukchi is not a reader, a Chukchi writer, but in the video that I cited in my article, the link to which I gave above, it is clearly seen that the plane could well call into the catapult with its wings folded and lay them out there already. The time for this is measured in seconds.

Quote: basmach

I already realized that if you do not know something, then it is not. And by the way, dear Alexei has already given you a canonical example - the battle of the Mariana Islands, when the Yankees devoured 800 Kakuta planes without a snack for less than 1000 aircraft. There were other cases - for example, a raid on Taranto.
But the funny thing is that you don’t even understand what absurdity you write. An aircraft carrier is a mobile airfield, that is, a tool that can concentrate more aircraft in the right place :))) That is, the use of aircraft carriers just allows the side that they have to achieve an advantage in the number of aircraft over the side that does not use them. And to say after that "but if we had the same number of planes" ... To put it mildly, very childish.

Such nonsense ... March to learn materiel on tactics of using aviation! You can even use the examples of the Arab-Israeli wars and the war in Vietnam.
Hint - practically NOTHING depends on the radius of action of ground-based air defense systems and the range of armament of the aircraft. The second clue is the horizon.

I don’t understand - either you are lying without blushing, or you had no idea where you are serving.
I talked with a number of people who flew on the Tu-22 or other missile carriers. Many of them were present at VO. And their opinion was as follows - to destroy or completely disable ABs as part of the AOG, you need 2 Tu-22 air regiment with additional aircraft providing them (RTR, etc.) + fighter cover, while the probable losses could reach 80% of the number of attacking air groups.

And further. Look at any video of flights. You will not see much excitement anywhere. It can’t be put on a swinging deck. With 7 points you can’t stand on deck, let alone landing. This is a storm and all that is not fixed on the deck is overboard.

Surprisingly, this is perhaps the only question where you are at least a little bit right.
Despite the fact that in the press, including the specialized one, there are very many opinions that aircraft carriers such as American supers can provide flights up to 7 points, I can admit that this is not the case. Yes, one "sofa expert", Captain 1st Rank Georgiev, pointed out in his article "Organization of Flights on US Navy Aircraft Carriers" (ZVO 1988 No. 6) the possibility for AV to receive aircraft in waves of up to 7 points. Another "sofa expert", V Abidin (only the leading designer of the YAK OKB) wrote in the article "Ship aviation: what is beyond the horizon"

Thus, the research results show that with conventional ship fighters (aerofinishing landing) from 82.000-100.000 tons of aircraft carriers in the North Atlantic, 6 points ensure the combat effectiveness of the air group for 67-70 percent of the time, and with aircraft with 60.000 displacement of 8 points only during 41 percent and XNUMX percent of the time for fighters of catapult and springboard takeoff respectively.

Three more sofa experts - the authors of the book "Aircraft Carriers and Helicopter Carriers" in 1972 (USSR) also write that Forrestols are capable of receiving aircraft up to 7 points, Essexes - up to 5 points.
And quite professional naval-technology.com for some reason for the French Charles de Gaulle, who, well, Nimitz has never written in size

The carrier is fitted with the SATRAP computerised, integrated stabilization system designed to maintain stabilization to within 0.5 ° of horizontal, allowing aircraft to be operated up to sea state 5 / 6.

That is, that his landing system is capable of landing planes when excited up to 5-6 points. There is still a lot of evidence both in English and in Russian, but oh well.
Nevertheless, there is a very reasonable opinion that they were all mistaken for one reason or another, and that in fact the limit of aircraft carriers is 5 points.
And, interestingly, with 5 points, it was possible to fly even without a catapult, on Kuznetsov:

On November 17, for the first time, the military test pilots of the Air Force Research Institute of the Air Force - V.N. Kondaurov (on the MiG-29K) and Yu.A. Semkin (on the Su-27K) started off from the Tbilisi deck for the first time. They took off from the springboard, sequentially increasing the take-off mass of their cars, with sea waves up to 4 - 5 points, different ship speeds and headwind.

The specified information (about flights on 4-5 points) is given not only by Zablotsky, but also by Fomin in his book Su-33: A Ship Epic, where the reviewers include, for example, such a "sofa expert" as Colonel-General V.G. Deineka. Well, where is he to you, of course, you stood next to the Tu-22, and even more than once ...

[TermNachTer]

Andrei, I’m a sailor, albeit a fisherman, and I’ll tell you that with 5 points, our little ship is not an aircraft carrier, of course, but also rather big - it was merciless to roll from board. Take-off under such conditions is theoretically possible using a catapult. Landing - this is clearly beyond common sense. And 7 points is already a normal storm, when even a person walks on the deck only if there is something to hold on to. So you are, to put it mildly, mistaken. For everything else, you give American theoretical calculations for ideal conditions. There are no ideal conditions in a war, even on a toy one like in the Gulf. any problems always arise.

But what about the control of maritime communications? Showdown with countries without nuclear weapons ...? The question is the amount of AUG.

[Wedmak]

I think a destroyer with two hundred different missiles will be much more effective than this huge vessel, which also needs to be protected. For no one canceled the radio-controlled boats from the BB, not to mention the anti-ship missiles, for which a lone aircraft carrier is just a tasty target.

[Zaurbek]

And the purpose is an indication? What about the search? Aviation covers a vast area. And not everything needs to be atomized; the ship’s radar has limitations and the ship will not be in time everywhere.

Aviation covers a vast area.

But is it often necessary for 24 / 7 to control a huge area within a radius of 1000 km? One ship of course has a limitation, but for the price of Avik, you can build several of these ships! Hanging a balloon with a radar to them and the same area will be under control much cheaper.
A more or less technologically advanced adversary will not let the AUG itself close, at a distance of an effective strike. Which was demonstrated by North Korea. AUG spun outside the zone of destruction of coastal missiles and dumped into the sunset. And she did it right, for the losses would be not only in the iron and lives, but also in the status of the US military power.

Dear Dobry_Anonymus (Vasily), the above Russian ZRLS detect targets, including surface ones at ranges up to 450 km, due to reception own reflected sounding signals, and therefore the radio silence of the aircraft carrier does not play a role at all ... You, like many here, make a gross mistake.

Good_Anonymus (Vasily), forgot the Ka-25Ts targeting helicopter. A helicopter is capable of patrolling the water area at a distance of up to 200 km from the base ship, to perform radar patrol and target designation in a radius of 250 km and to provide relaying in a radius of 250 km. Therefore, the aircraft carrier, unnoticed, at a distance of 250 km to the destroyer is not suitable. Closer than 450 km is not suitable.
And you forgot the Liana satellite reconnaissance and target designation system, which is in trial operation.

Are you sure that the E-2C will detect a destroyer with 500 km? I will disappoint you that the E-2C will not be able to detect the destroyer from such a distance! E-2C will detect it with only 422 km. You forgot about radio visibility.

If by "radio visibility" you mean a radio horizon, then yes, I did not take it into account. Correcting myself - at an altitude of 10600m (service ceiling E-2D) the radio horizon is 424 km. Still outside of the Polyment defeat.

This is no longer a fact. Of these two hundred missiles, half can be anti-aircraft. Destroyers are much more armed than an aircraft carrier.
Due to the growth of rocket technology and the flight range of ground aviation, aircraft carriers as such ceased to be strike ships. This, with the propeller and the beginning of the era of jet aircraft, needed to bring the aircraft closer to the enemy’s coast, this was important because they wouldn’t get their way. Now ... drones fly for days, satellites can see how many people got on the bus, missiles fall into the circle of 10 meters from a distance of 2-3 thousand km.
Against an adversary technologically less developed this is enough to drive him further into the Stone Age, without taking his ass off the chair. And without chasing an expensive aircraft carrier.

Then the destroyer is also not needed.

In short, an aircraft carrier and a destroyer should not be opposed to each other. They complement each other. Without aviation and aircraft carriers, the US Navy would not have been able to solve a significant part of its tasks with the same efficiency. And they won’t get their aircraft carriers anywhere - they will continue to build.

[Wedmak]

Both drones of our lone destroyer were shot down by the enemy or their reconnaissance equipment was suppressed by the enemy's REB.

Aircraft from Avik cannot approach the shore, because they are crushed by the calculations of electronic warfare and air defense systems. And avik itself is beyond the scope of RCC. Together with the guard ships.

On the shore, conditional basmachi finish off our conditional reconnaissance group

In the presence of downed UAVs and the use of electronic warfare, the conventional basmachi will already try to get the ship that launched them. The issue of brutal slaughter will stand in growth.

Waiting for 8 hours of the next satellite to look at the corpses of their scouts?

The corpses of the reconnaissance group have already been issued, because We didn’t bother with the disguise made in advance by reconnaissance, introduction, and other delights of covert intelligence. By the way, sub for what? She went ashore, carried out reconnaissance, took the reconnaissance group, and quietly washed off.

And they won’t get their aircraft carriers anywhere - they will continue to build.

With an air group in the 60-70 aircraft, an Avik can plan its work much more flexibly than a destroyer with a pair of UAVs. The loss of both UAVs for the destroyer means a return to the base, the loss of two aircraft for the Avik is not a problem.

Look at how many sorties the aircraft carriers provided during the Gulf War, 1/20 of the total number of sorties from ground airfields, while at the same time no more than 30-35 aircraft can be in the air from the entire air wing, and it’s much easier to shoot down an aircraft than a missile.

[voyaka uh]

When there are ground airports nearby, aircraft carriers are not needed.
But not everywhere for thousands of kilometers, someone will kindly provide you
ground airport, as did the Saudis and Kuwaitis.
And then the aircraft carriers are indispensable.

[Avior]

One aircraft carrier per day is capable of providing 250 sorties without straining, and can maintain such a pace for a long time.
On the network you can find a description of the Nimitz test - about a thousand sorties in 4 days.

[Wedmak]

Even as a strain ... After such work, he will have to go to repair, because at least the deck and finisher cables are not eternal. The second question: where will they take fuel and ammunition for thousands of flights? Will tankers with bulk carriers go caravans?
And I suppose, all these 4 days Avik no one interfered with flights? Nobody bothered to fly airplanes too?
And this ... 250 sorties for a day and about a thousand sorties for 4 days somehow diverge in numbers ... at least for 250 sorties. And do not forget, every sortie is the risk of losing the plane and the pilot, this is several hours of waiting, this is the possible repair work of the aircraft, refueling, etc. So, in my opinion, 250 departures per day are a bit much, even considering the 90 LA on board.

[Avior]

250 per day for four days is a thousand. This is a real test.
The numbers, of course, are not round in fact.
According to the test results, the number of departures was limited by the number of ground personnel - they didn’t have to prepare for departures, so that the losses of planes and pilots are not very squeezed on departures, to some extent, essno ...
A thousand sorties with 6-8 tons of fuel per flight are 8000 tons of fuel, a couple of tankers.
Not to mention the fact that in the sea, thousands of sorties will be enough for any fleet.
Aerofinisher cables - consumable ....

To bomb Vietnam, US planes departed from ANCHORED aircraft carriers.
This speaks to how the United States "feared" the Vietnamese.
During WWII, aircraft carriers, yes, were out of competition - a battleship salvo per ton could reach only 18-40 km, while a one-time sortie took 20 tons of explosives up to 200 km.
Now the aircraft carrier is a Very Large Landing Ship. Deliver the marines and cover them up in the banana republic.

[Alexey RA]

Quote: Wedmak

The second question: where will they take fuel and ammunition for thousands of flights? Will tankers with bulk carriers go caravans?

The floating rear of the fleet and the supply of ACG at sea were worked out by the Americans back in WWII. By the end of that war, they even learned to load ammunition directly on the high seas.
Throughout the Cold War, AUG USN fled with high-speed tankers and high-speed supply transports.

These transports in size and displacement were close to the AB pre-atomic period, which the American admirals used from time to time, placing them in the warrant in place of the AB and forcing our reconnaissance aircraft to reconsider the warrant visually (or give the wrong place to the coast AB).
Moreover, this was only the first echelon of the floating rear - the "consumable warehouse", directly accompanying the AUG. The basis of the floating rear was deployed at the bases and parking areas closest to the area of ​​action, and "on call" from there, transports of aviation fuel, ammunition, repair ships, etc. were sent to the AUG.

That's right ... Put your "galoshes" on a joke and the world will breathe a sigh of peace, and in time it will forget about the "mattress" in the form of a flag on the grotto and jack ..

[Vladimir1155]

have the Americans decided to abandon their main weapon of aggression and annexation? sent to build aggressive plans around the world, to sow death and destruction in peaceful countries, to kill women and children? I do not believe it, although aircraft carriers will probably not be useful against the Russian Federation and China, they are intended for annexations and aggression against non-nuclear states

[Cro-Magnon]

Finally, it came to be floating guano. Shoigu was absolutely right. Aircraft carriers have outlived their age. The future belongs to submarine missile carriers and stealth frigates / corvettes with hypersonic missile weapons.

I think that Congress will not hear this thought. Cover such a laundering shop ....
