HMS "Prince of Wales" coped with bad weather during tests: in Britain they boast of an aircraft carrier

76
The latest British aircraft carrier “Prince of Wales”, while undergoing sea trials in the ocean zone, was in adverse conditions for the ships, but successfully coped with the difficulties that fell to its lot. This was boasted in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance - a group of companies engaged in the creation of aircraft carriers.





HMS Prince of Wales first tasted the stormy sea

- noted in a statement by shipbuilders.

According to them, a ship with a displacement of 65 thousand tons collided with an 6-point wave of the sea, at which the wave height reached the height of an 2-story building, but the ship "cut through them relatively easily." According to the Beaufort scale, the wave height from 5,5 to 7,5 m indicates the strength of the wind, followed by the storm. Frankly, it would be strange if the modern aircraft carrier could not cope with the weather, at which the maximum wave height is 6 meters.

HMS Prince of Wales successfully passes the test program, this was our first real opportunity to test the outstanding capabilities of an aircraft carrier, demonstrating the high level of British engineering and production in general

- noted in the Aircraft Carrier Alliance.

Currently, the aircraft carrier has already exceeded the maximum speed in 25 nodes during testing of the power plant, sometimes bringing it to 30 nodes. In general, trials in the North Sea are evaluated very positively by shipbuilders. About the leak, which the newest British aircraft carriers have already encountered more than once, this time nothing was reported.

      In general, all this obscenity and belittling of someone else's weapons, with exaggeration and embellishment of one's own, is an indicator of a person's incomplete adequacy. In fact, Britain, smeared by all our "patriots", already has two newest aircraft carriers. Russia in the near future, even if it wishes, is not able to build even one such aircraft carrier. There are many reasons for this. Starting from the lack of a shipyard and money, ending with a technological lag. We even build a small frigate and Kuznetsov takes longer to repair than an aircraft carrier is being built in Britain. Hooray patriots of course can shout that we do not need them. This is another question - debatable. But the fact that today Russia cannot build them is a medical fact. Therefore, we will have to continue to discuss many times on VO about trivial, and not very, problems in the maintenance and operation of foreign aircraft carriers, exaggerated, inversely, to exactly the same values ​​to which our own problems are belittled. Against this background, the voices of reason, published by specialists and adequate to people, will be impossible to hear. It is sad.

        And I absolutely agree with your comment, I will only add that even this unfortunate Kuzya is not an achievement of the modern Russian Federation, but rather his grave.

            Firstly, the article you cited is absolutely illiterate economically. To date, there are no technologies that would make reusable ships cheaper than disposable. And even if it would be possible in the long run, the cost of a kilogram of payload will still be pulled by hundreds of dollars. Only transportation.
            And such a system will also require the most powerful space reconnaissance and target designation system. Which, for a second, was not pulled either by the USSR or the United States separately. The USSR never deployed the Legend in sufficient volume. The United States, considering what it would cost a satellite system capable of targeting with an delay of an hour and a half (Discovery 2) refused to deploy it.

                    There is practically no Liana - there is one and a half satellites in low orbit with parameters known to the whole world. And do not confuse arch-complexity and arch-expensiveness. The same Liana is not too archaic and can be created as a space intelligence system. But there is no money for it. At the same time, it is extremely doubtful that Liana is capable of giving TS for crowbars. I believe that the capabilities of its satellites are good if they correspond to the Legend. And Soviet scientists could develop anything, but the fact is that it wasn’t able to pull out even the USSR intelligence system on a carrier system

                      There is no money for a vine, but you want a full-fledged AUG, for which you also need "Liana", otherwise you will not have information about your AUG. Kamikaze satellites are much cheaper and more real. And they are not more complicated than an aircraft carrier. Liana hangs in a 100-kilometer orbit, unlike its predecessor. And they did not stretch it out, because the same clever people who said that we did not need kebernetics ruined all research on destruction from space. The same "Buran" could do a lot of things, for which it was destroyed as a project

            No object leaves orbit in a straight line. Even if you "hang" in space exactly above the object and drop something "down", this something "down" will not fall, it will continue to rotate with you, but in a different orbit. After some time, it will begin to fall to the Earth. And during the fall, it will begin to experience a large amount of stress, both mechanical and thermal. If you, for example, throw steel scrap from orbit, then by the time it falls, it can twist in a very bizarre way. This means that it will be extremely difficult to predict its ballistics.
            Moreover, the Earth rotates by itself. And as the speed of "something" decreases, it will begin to "leave". And it's good if the plane of your bomber's orbit coincides with the plane of rotation of the Earth. Then the target will begin to move only in one direction. And if not? Then two.

Any moving target will move in an unpredictable way until the cassette drops to the drop point. Or you need to shoot not just cassettes, but full-fledged spaceships with their own powerful engine, providing active maneuvering in orbit. By the way, there was such a project, the possibility was being considered of using kk Buran as a carrier of submachine guns in the dimensions of the BOR used as nuclear weapons.

                        AUGs can do a lot even with the existing satellite constellation, and they can do much more than the crowbars you offer. And about the equivalent of the explosion - note that it is semi-megaton. Nuclear weapons of such an equivalent would ditch half of Chelyabinsk. Meteorite - knocked out a certain amount of glass from the windows. I mean, the energy that an object possesses and the scale of its destruction are two big differences.

                        We do not have AUG, we have no experience in using AUG, to create a kamikaze satellite for space, which either found or destroyed the target on a tip, is not a problem.

        It is necessary to place a sufficient number of carrier satellites in orbit. Provide target designation. Provide scrap guidance at the final stage. And this is all in the conditions of powerful electronic warfare (and the power plant of the destroyer can give oh how much energy to provide all the charms) and the active counteraction of air defense of the ship’s formation. And yes, satellites in orbit are a very vulnerable target, and raising them to the geostationary is much more expensive and longer they will go down from orbit. As a result, the price of the system will not be much cheaper than the construction of a full-fledged AUG, but the latter will be a much more flexible system.

          The main target designation is just satellites, plus satellites can maneuver, so getting on them is not so simple. And the rest is based on the principle of separable warheads, such as avant-garde, only launch not from the earth, but from space

            You are mistaken, there are practically no satellites capable of such maneuvers. The bulk of the satellites are only able to keep themselves in orbit, and then not for very long. Active maneuvering is not available to them. Or you will need to put in orbit a real such monster with the possibility of receiving supply ships (hello to the Energy-Buran program!).

                Look, in near-Earth space, satellites can only stay in orbit around the planet. Simply put, they can rotate either in parallel or along the meridians. For example, spy satellites rotate along meridians. And I do not know a single case where a satellite could change the direction of rotation.
                Ships move across the ocean in any direction, along the meridians, along the parallels, and it is simply not possible to follow them in space. Or you need to fence a GLANASS-like system with a network of satellites in geostationary orbit.

                    Well, listen, are you not used to the fact that the scale of lies coming from the US military-industrial complex knows no boundaries? And even more so if this is a retelling of the same state journalists?
                    Everything that is written in the article is pure Hollywood, which does not negate what I said above. To throw an object out of orbit, it must be decelerated. It is kinetic, parametric, optical or electro-chemical. It needs to be slowed down. This means either to shoot them against the movement of the satellite, or to "bomb" them with spaceships. It is clear that when it falls, it can accelerate to meteorite speeds, but the question is not how to accelerate it, but how to get them somewhere! It is difficult to aim from orbit. All the more in a movable object. Even in those 45 minutes, while the satellites from the imagination of the authors of the article will occupy a position, a target such as an aircraft carrier will be able to move 30 kilometers. In any direction.

            The head parts of transatmospheric interceptors will still have an advantage in overloads. Because the mass of such satellites will be tens of tons (superheavy launch vehicles will be needed for their launch) and they are unlikely to be able to allow such overloads. Well, or the mass of satellites will completely become indecent. For each eld will be a mass of 8 tons, how much will the entire satellite weigh?
            So the satellites will always be in full view and they can be destroyed by a sudden blow in a couple of minutes (the time in which the interceptors reach the height at which these satellites are located, and this is a matter of minutes), the United States has a lot of missile carriers for this.

            As for the striking qualities - undoubtedly, drun weighing 8 tons looks frightening, but would it not happen that these crowbars will only pierce the ship through without causing catastrophic damage, for at such a speed they will pass through the ship like a hot knife through oil and all their energy to transmit not to the ship, but to the water under it?

            Shared warheads carry out the correction even in airless space, and then fly by inertia and so far there are no warheads that could carry out the correction on the final stretch of the path because everything is not clear and known with Vanguard. And whether he possesses such properties as are attributed to him.

            The distance from the satellite to the Earth is very large and the ships themselves can afford to drown out this signal by electronic warfare. At the same time, I’m not talking about the fact that you can place small satellites in orbit, which in the event of a conflict will begin to jam jamming systems of drums and gain time to destroy these carriers.

            And finally, if all these problems are solved, then it will be much more efficient to place compact thermonuclear charges on space platforms (for cities and important objects - 150kt, and enough for ships and 1-2kt). But this will already be worse than medium-range missiles in Poland or Cuba.

              And do not forget that firing passive crowbars from orbit will take place according to Newton's third law. And the satellite with each shot will be forced to correct the orbit.

          I understand that it is very pleasant to think so, but, to put it mildly, it is not true. "Scare AUG" looks like this. ADS is adjusted to the territory of a certain country. Then comes an ultimatum, backed up by the threat of force. And in the event that the ultimatum is not fulfilled, this very force is applied.
          In fact, there was the following. North Koreans gathered to conduct another test of nuclear weapons. The world community has habitually been indignant. Trump decided to put pressure on Kim properly and, as a demonstration of his readiness for action, sent aircraft carriers there.
          But Trump did not set ultimatums - he was not going to fight North Korea, but wanted to assemble a coalition that would put pressure on Kim. But the Chinese, whom Trump had counted on, refused. Then Trump said (but again - not North Korea!) That the United States can solve this without China. And here South Korea spoke, saying that she would do her best to prevent war in the region :))))
          So Trump took the AUG.
          In other words, Trump tried to put together a coalition that would decisively put pressure on Kim, but initially he was not going to do it by the forces of the United States alone. This is all politics. And reduce her to
