"This is the embodiment of British naval power": AUG is formed in Portsmouth on the basis of the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth

89

An aircraft carrier strike group is being formed in Great Britain, the lead ship of which is the aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth. Eight ships of other ranks are being added to the aircraft carrier based in Portsmouth, according to the press service of the Royal Navy.

In total, the aircraft carrier strike group (in addition to the personnel of the aircraft carrier itself) will have about 3 thousand servicemen. In this case, we are talking about the international NATO contingent. These are sailors and pilots not only from Great Britain, but also from the USA and the Netherlands.



At this stage, the AUG, formed in Portsmouth, is positioned as an international NATO one. It is planned that the first thing it should show itself at the exercises of the North Atlantic military unit Joint Warrior, which will be held in the North Sea.

Aircraft Carrier Strike Group Commander Steve Moorhouse:

The new British aircraft carrier strike group is the epitome of British naval power. She is today the centerpiece of all British fleet.

According to Moorhouse, HMS Queen Elizabeth will be protected by "a ring of destroyers, frigates, submarines." According to the commander of the aircraft carrier group, fifth-generation fighters will become the basis of the aircraft wing.



Steve Moorhouse:

We are ready to fight and win, even in the most difficult circumstances.

AUG's warships include HMS Diamond and HMS Defender, HMS Northumberland, based in Plymouth, HMS Kent, based in Portsmouth, and HNLMS Evertsen of the Netherlands Navy. The group also includes the USS The Sullivans (DDG-68). Food, fuel and ammunition will be supplied by support ships of the Royal Navy, RFA Tideforce and RFA Fort Victoria.

          Yes, in peacetime, aircraft carriers are an excellent means of putting pressure on the underdeveloped, but rich countries of the world at any point. But in the event of a conflict with powerful countries or a world war, these are excellent, easily defeated targets doomed to death.

      In vain sarcasm.
      They form a group in order to show a potential victim that they will attack with a "wolf pack", as under Hitler, gathering a shock fist from all allies and hangers-on for easy money.
      Numerous examples of recent decades have clearly shown the common interests of NATO countries and the former Warsaw Pact countries that joined them a little later, in the desire to profit at someone else's expense.
      So, such interest groups need to be taken seriously, because they will work out coherence closer to the Arctic expanses, which means they see Russia as a potential victim.
      There are no other options.

        I have followed the creation of these ships from the very beginning.
        Even when the second was going to sell to someone.
        When they reach combat readiness, then let's talk.
        The fact that the Britons do not have enough money for this is very possible.
        There is no agreement with the EU yet. A huge problem.
        Hundreds of billions are leaving because of Brexit.

        2 Ka-31 AWACS, tail numbers 031 and 032, were built for Kuznetsov.

          Why compare them? They have an avik with an AUG and a flying fighter of the 5th generation, we have neither an avik, nor an AUG, nor an aircraft for this avik, well, if you, of course, do not consider the 33rd to be able to compete with their 35th)) ). And the worst thing is that we do not have a CVD for the construction of an avik, there are no specialists (designers, technologists), there are no specialists and production facilities for the construction of an AUG, and there is no 5th generation aircraft for all this, and there is NO MONEY !! !

            This is not enough. You also need to know where to fly and what to defend against.
            Zircon, again, has nothing to reflect.
            we do not have an avik, no AUG, no plane for this avik

            In 2018, we began to develop UVVP. I am sure that the 5th generation.
            And the worst thing is that we don't have a CVD to build an avik

            Not this way. There are new ones being created.
            But there is one topic that seems important to me: an attempt to create avics ahead of time will lead to a direct clash with the United States. Like China now.
            So everything has its time. No wonder nothing leaks out except for the bad news about Kuznetsov.
            I don’t understand one thing: for what Rakhmanov received the order. Maybe we don't know something?

              The fact that the VTOL aircraft began to be developed was once blurted out by the Deputy Minister of Defense at the exhibition a couple of years ago and was then forgotten. There is no more Yakovlev Design Bureau, and there is no one to do something according to the old drawings from the 141st. The design bureau was sent to Irkut, having kicked out all the specialists into the street (there are plenty of their own). Yes, and Borisov from the Moscow region has already screwed up for promotion ...

            In St. Petersburg, the aft parts for the Mistrals were built. If necessary, then I'm sure the nasal ones will be able to. Most likely copies of Mistral's drawings are somewhere in the archive. And if the Mistral is slightly lengthened by inserting a section of half a hundred meters in the middle, and a springboard is welded on the nose, then you will get quite a light aircraft carrier for a dozen MIG-29K, not counting the turntables. Not weaker than the aircraft carrier of the Thai royal yacht.

              I will tell you about St. Petersburg: "Admiralty Shipyards" builds ships using a 100-ton crane on a slipway, and all over the world have long been working with a crane with a capacity of 1200 - 1500 tons, this is just an example. To start building something serious there, you first need to rebuild the entire plant, build dry docks at least 400x100 meters, for two products, otherwise it will be unprofitable. And the worst thing is that there are no specialists, the whole world has been designing for a long time with three-dimensional modeling, and not at the drawing board with a pencil in hand, something like that ...

                AutoCAD is not a big problem to install, you can download it if you know where, or buy not the latest version for inexpensive, if piracy is not to your liking. Comp for this can be collected within $ 500, well, plus another $ 200 for a really huge monitor. And you can learn from a book, which is also easy to download. And again, let me remind you, "Ulyanovsk" was designed when computer drawing was in its infancy in the West, and I suppose that was not the case in the USSR, at that time he was sitting at a drawing board with a Whatman paper, though not in shipbuilding. It was a good drawing board, the German Reiss Ordinat III. But the problem with people, yes. Those who engineer in Soviet times are already preparing to retire, and they have no time to learn new programs. And the new generation of engineers, if what I heard, however, have not grown. And this is a pity, because the Soviet engineering school was no worse than the American one, and in some ways it was even better. I can judge that I happened to work as an engineer in America, although after a few years I retrained as a programmer.

          NATO has 29 states. According to NATO materials, the volume of military spending of all 29 states of the alliance in 2018 amounted to $ 930 billion.
          The military budget of Russia in 2018 amounted to 2,8 trillion rubles, which corresponds to approximately $ 46 billion.

                      Alexey, our "vision" and "competence" are exclusively at the level of this forum. They are nothing compared to those professionals who are in the General Staff and in the Kremlin. Maybe not as fast as we would like, but Russia is strengthening its position. This is the main thing.

      NATO navies are expanding.
      NATO countries are not obliged to enter the war if one of the NATO countries gets involved in this war. NATO's charter says about providing assistance, but which one is up to each country to decide. That is, humanitarian aid is also screaming. And this is a speech about war. And when it comes to an armed regional conflict (of a local nature), the obligations are even less. This I mean, the NATO navy is not necessarily all NATO countries put together. Few people want to get a nuclear strike on their country from Russia ...
      To my great regret, we have nothing to oppose to this.
      Don't worry, we're going to throw rockets at them. Russia has the best missiles.

          Did the Ministry of Defense personally report to you about the number of calibers?
          And can you tell me how many daggers, vanguards, Poseidons both have? And then I'm at a loss.

          There is no use for tomahawks, tk. they will not reach Russia, because their carriers (destroyers and NATO frigates) will be destroyed 1500 km from the coast. Here you need to clearly understand that Russia has not only Calibers, Onyxes, Granites and Volcanoes, but also air-based anti-ship missiles (Kh-32, Dagger, etc.). In a threatened war period, our Navy will not be left alone with the US AUG. By the way, the ineffectiveness of the Tomahawks was publicly demonstrated in Syria in 2017, when two US destroyers attacked Syrian airfields. The Yankees disgraced themselves greatly and were caught in a lie.

      We will find out in the coming years. In any case, "Queen" is new, gas-turbine, "Kuzya" is old, with initially dubious boilers. But "I won't leave him anyway, because he's good!" And then some clever guys suggest writing it off as soon as possible. The Britons decommissioned all their aircraft carriers in the 60s and 70s, and very quickly realized that they were wrong.

        Kuzya puffed, smoked, but walked, and then a new one, on the bottom of the algae had not yet sprouted:

        An aircraft carrier worth 3,1 billion pounds (more than 4 billion US dollars) leaked due to a poor-quality propeller shaft seal, whose function is to prevent water from entering the compartment. According to the newspaper Sun, due to marriage, an aircraft carrier collects up to two hundred liters of sea water every hour.

        I understand, 200 liters per hour for such a tub is not about anything, but, as an observant person, I noticed that if water penetrates through a small hole under pressure, then this hole per micron with each liter, but it becomes more, after 3 months of the hike it was - would be already ales kaput

          And what about the pumps? Pump out. In general, everything that can break is bound to break sooner or later. The experience is lost - the British did not build such ships ... in general, the last "Arc Royal" and "Eagle" were laid in ... 1943 .. They will put in repair and fix it. At the beginning of the 2000s, they wrote about Kuzya that there was water in its hold with a displacement of a destroyer. Nothing, liquidated.

              Better to have two Queens than one Kuzyu. Aircraft carriers are generally repaired frequently and for a long time. According to Western experts, for more or less regular service, you need to have at least three aircraft carriers - one in service, one in current repair, one in overhaul. All the same, this is a complex technique. "Kuznetsov" did not hang around the docks weakly since his birth. And he is not alone, other big ships - TARK "Kirov", for example. Or Typhoon-class SSBNs. And the Yankees all the time have problems with the combat readiness of aircraft carriers. And one UDC burned down altogether.

    The new British aircraft carrier strike group is the epitome of British naval power. She is today the centerpiece of the entire British fleet.

    And what does the power of the British fleet have to do with it?
    In total, the aircraft carrier strike group (in addition to the personnel of the aircraft carrier itself) will have about 3 thousand servicemen. In this case, we are talking about the international NATO contingent. These are sailors and pilots not only from Great Britain, but also from the USA and the Netherlands.

    The United Kingdom no longer has enough strength to assemble the AUG on its own, survived, only victory speeches in the media ...........
