Problems with the bottom topography were not confirmed: the US Navy carrier group led by USS Dwight Eisenhower passed through the Suez Canal

The US Navy confirmed information that an aircraft carrier strike group led by the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower passed through the Suez Canal, entering the Red Sea.

It is noted that a group of warships and escort ships from the US Navy followed the canal, which opened for shipping after the unlocking on March 29, together with the USS Dwight Eisenhower aircraft carrier. Among them are the missile cruiser USS Monterey, the destroyers USS Mitscher and USS Thomas Hudner.

In the US Navy:

The passage of our aircraft carrier group has confirmed the navigable Suez Canal. The channel functions normally, allowing large warships to pass through.

This statement came after the Western expert community suggested that after the situation with the container ship Ever Given and the work carried out to remove it from the aground, problems with the bottom topography could arise. It was assumed that the topography of the bottom of the Suez Canal could affect the passage of other large ships and vessels.

Problems with the bottom relief were not confirmed.

Command 5th fleet US Navy:

We appreciate the Egyptian efforts to ensure safe and smooth shipping on this critical route.

It should be recalled that earlier in the United States they stated the need to "change the logistics of operations of the Navy ships in connection with the blockage of the channel."

The Suez Canal Administration is now going to sue the container ship operator for about $ 1 billion.

Non-smoking pilot?
But it could have turned out to be a great show.

[hirurg]

And if they were confirmed?
And the aircraft carrier would have blocked the channel ...
Here I would neigh.

I wonder who these people are? And how it sounds! - channel administration!

[Vasily Terkin_2]

If this container ship is cut into ferrous metal and handed over at 20 rubles per kg, will it be possible to repulse the fine?

The pilot smoked, the rudder was jammed, the GPS was dead, the halyard was wound on the radar antenna, the wheelhouse was de-energized, but you never know the reasons!

You would also imagine that someone else stuck a couple of Daggers into the bochin for this president - a trio of Daggers to determine the correct lethal dose of this powerful medicine.
But this good deed can be done, and having risen from Khmeimim or Pech - tea, not the first time ...

[keeper03]

It is a pity that he did not stay there forever!

[tralflot1832]

So the submarine "Rostov on Don" all the same drove "Dwight" out of the Mediterranean? And two grandiose dumbbells within a week it would be too suspicious. Well, at least he will stay nearby in the Aegean Sea. Probably not destiny again.

[seregatara1969]

They've confirmed the depth of the canal! Nobody else was able to measure the depth!

[tralflot1832]

It would be better if the width between the banks would be checked.

[seregatara1969]

Well, they haven't guessed yet with the aircraft carrier to measure the width

[Galleon]

The width of the canal is 120-150 m along the water surface, 45-60 m along the bottom. Eisenhower at its widest part 76,9m. The depth of the channel is 20m. In Panama, the depth is 12m - and this figure is taken into account when designing ships.

[seregatara1969]

Nothing, we will sail along the northern sea on ice floes. In Samara, a training session was held on an ice floe with oars down the Volga.

[tralflot1832]

And bridges too, through the Dardanelles a reserve of 6 meters can also pass.

Tooting.

It should be recalled that earlier in the United States they stated the need to "change the logistics of operations of the Navy ships in connection with the blockage of the channel." This means that the need to change the logistics of the operations of the US Navy has disappeared, they have experienced pilots.

[petrol cutter]

Well, thank you, Lord!
And I was so worried, so worried (and worried) - will the US AUG pass! I couldn't eat straight.
Passed ... Now I am calm for world peace.
And democracy in all democracy.

[Cat]

Gone ... Now I'm calm

And I have the same opinion

And how bad it turned out before

[tralflot1832]

So we took pictures of his peers, he went across the seas and oceans in 77, and I finished school. By the way, he has 4 propellers and probably the same number of rudders. So what kind of kraken he needs.

[Holuay T.O]

AUG goes closer to Ukraine
Today they write in the cart all day, the US military transport aircraft landed in the Lvov area, I believe that the Patriots are transferring
Our generals overslept the march

[Prisoner]

What woke up, zhovto-blakitny? Your generals don't sleep at all. I suppose everyone licks not modest places for NATO sergeants.

[tralflot1832]

And the death star was not transported. Perhaps the Ukrainian service personnel are being taken out? You will clarify there! Otherwise, the last evening horse will leave, what are you going to do?

[Cat]

military transport planes sat in the cart all day

In the Cart, and it does not happen. Not to mention the airplanes

[Holuay T.O]

Not well, something is happening there, it's bad if our intelligence slept through the deployment of the Patriots

[Sergey_G_M]

Should intelligence report something to you? Where did you get the idea that you slept? And what, in your opinion, should have been done, to intercept the transports over Poland or Ukraine?

[Alien From]

Pee in the ears of the Japanese! Lavrov.

[Alien From]

Nasty guys! Agree !!!

The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have EMNIP draft of 11,3 m. The channel depth is 22 meters. How can an aircraft carrier run aground and block the channel?

Quote: Galleon

The depth of the channel is 20m.

22 meters

[Peaceful SEO]

Yes, just like the previous vessel. The wind would blow off the show again :)

Sailability is different for aircraft carrier and container ship

[xorek]

And where did they go, not to the shores of Syria again?

[APASUS]

Egypt had no choice simply. Imagine that the AUG led by USS Dwight Eisenhower will not pass the channel. Americans will immediately be interested in human rights and freedoms in the country.

[TatarinSSSR]

So the overlapped container ship was training to block the channel in case the American AUG passed?

[Gennady Fomkin]

You hold on there.
