Explosion on starboard side: in the United States showed the final shock tests of the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford

79

The US military reports that the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) has passed through the final (last) of the planned shipboard impact tests - FSST. This is the third test, which was intended to determine the ability of the US Navy aircraft carrier to respond to the effects of high waves, as well as the shock wave resulting from an explosion about 150 meters from the side.

The reports say that the third phase of testing was carried out in the Atlantic Ocean, near the base in Jacksonville, Florida.



The release, provided by the US military, says that shipboard shock tests confirm the carrier's shock resistance and its ability to withstand explosions at sea in a simulation of a real combat situation using real ammunition.

In total, the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford withstood three explosions of 18 tons, carried out at various distances from the ship.

From the release:

We made sure that the ship is ready for use in harsh combat conditions, including rough seas. Our team has obtained extensive data on the impact strength of the aircraft carrier's hull. All systems when exposed to the shock wave worked as designed.

Now the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford will undergo an additional check for another six months, which will assess possible damage. The combat deployment of the aircraft carrier in the oceans is planned for 2022.

US Navy Rear Admiral James Downey, who oversees the aircraft carrier programs, said that during the explosion tests, "the team acted well and did not make critical mistakes."

The explosion was carried out on the starboard side of the aircraft carrier. The explosion itself and the degree of its impact on the ship are shown in the US Navy footage:

      All these booms at the side, these are tests for the impact of a nuclear warhead on an aircraft carrier. The question is only at what distance from the explosion, 150 meters, simulate an explosion of nuclear warheads, 1 km, 2 km or 3 km. Well, they do not believe that you can put a warhead on the deck .Let not believe. Zircon will show its !!! bully

            Enough. China is one of the countries that designs and manufactures the entire range of engine building.

            How many offices in China are there that are engaged in microelectronics at the forefront?


            Everything is active here too. It is difficult to call them leaders, but among the actively growing ones.

            How many offices are there in China that produces advanced weapons?

            China is one of the five largest arms exporters. That is, he is all right with that.

              All technologies are in sga, they are divided to a minimum, similar to how China sprinkles grains of technology in the Russian Federation and vice versa.

              I'm talking about who now has the greatest potential - and this is the SGA, and not China, which is only in the future.

      All this is certainly beautiful and interesting, but has nothing to do with real combat. Who will throw multi-ton bombs, we do not seem to live in the 40s of the last century. And here is how the aircraft carrier behaves when the carrier-based aircraft fueled and ammunition is damaged by the debris of anti-ship missiles, how it withstands torpedo hits, it's interesting!

                    About Zircon and Dagger - I also have no food ...
                    For for normal guidance to a moving target, you need to have time for both detecting the target of the seeker of the rocket, capturing it, and correcting the flight.
                    Need time.
                    You need the speed at which the seeker will work and so that the radio-transparent cover of the seeker will allow you to work ...
                    And all this is already at ultra-low altitudes, where air resistance is many times higher than by 20 km ...

                    Accordingly, the rocket, that dagger, that Zircon, will reduce the speed to the level of M2 ...
                    Like the same Granite, he reduced the speed in front of the target to M1,5.

                    but what you still do not understand, where are the tanks for aviation fuel from aircraft carriers.
                    Any missile hit can cause severe damage to an aircraft carrier ...

                        Well, let's correct your "ignorance" ...
                        First of all.
                        1975 year.
                        Second, Belknap crashed his superstructure at the end of the angled landing deck (almost in the middle) of the aircraft carrier. On a collision course, at a speed of 12 knots.
                        And he didn’t tear any cheekbones with any fuel tanks.
                        He pierced the side under the flight deck with his superstructure and damaged three gas stations.
                        Two were pressurized and ready to refuel the planes in preparation for takeoff.
                        In turn, the entire superstructure of Belknap was cut off like a knife.
                        In the exhaust pipes as well.
                        On top of Belknap, 5 tons of fuel poured out, just poured onto these very exhaust pipes.
                        That is why Belknap caught fire ...
                        5 tons of fuel poured onto Belknap and several hundred gallons inside the aircraft carrier's premises damaged by Belknap.

                        Both were burning.
                        Only now Belknap burned the same as Sheffield later.
                        And at the aircraft carrier, only the damaged rooms were burned out, in which tools and spare parts for aircraft were stored.

                        The aircraft carrier did not stop working on receiving aircraft, because the situation itself arose initially due to a change in the course of the aircraft carrier, for flight operations, landing and takeoff.
                        And there were trainees on the Belknap bridge who did not follow the commander's order and did not owe him a change of course.

                          Many years have passed since then. He wrote from memory, confused the date for a couple of years, the circumstances of the collision - according to the publications of that time, i.e. 1975 of the year. I remember a photo of the cruiser after the fire.
                          But this is all secondary, and most importantly, that fire is an excellent illustration of the fact that there is so much fuel and explosive on an aircraft carrier that any hit can lead to serious consequences.

                          Sorry, but I do not know of any cases of sinking of an American aircraft carrier during World War II from one 227kg bomb.
                          Can you give details?

                          Several torpedoes were used to sink escort aircraft carriers built on the basis of C3 transports.

                          But from one aerial bomb - I don't even remember the zhskortniki

                          Remind me what kind of ship you are talking about!

                          The aircraft carrier Princeton was killed on October 25, 1944.
                          During the battle in Leyte Gulf, a 227 kg bomb pierced the flight deck and exploded on the hangar deck, where the fueled planes were, some with suspended torpedoes ...
                          The fire spread to the entire ship, detonated the artillery cellar, etc ...
                          A few hours later, the surviving personnel was removed, the aircraft carrier was finished off with torpedoes by the escort ships.

                        Damn ...
                        Firstly, the hangar consists of several sections. and movable armored bulkheads are used.
                        Which localize the point of impact.
                        And they do not allow the energy of the explosion to go to other sections.

                        How many decks does an aircraft carrier such as Nimitz or Ford have?
                        There are 9 ...
                        Everything below the hangar deck is twice as wide as that of Peter the Great,
                        and it is there that everything important is located. it is there that the hull of the aircraft carrier is made with a large number of longitudinal and transverse armored bulkheads. And all other bulkheads are made splinterproof.
                        Cellars for the same aircraft weapons are scattered throughout the ship and there are 32 of them ...
                        They are all spaced around the hull of the aircraft carrier. so that their detonation could not lead to a chain detonation.
                        And yes. they are all very below the waterline.
                        And yes. armament feed elevators - two or even three-stage. That there would never be "open" access to the cellars.


                        Here is the result of the simultaneous detonation of 3 Mk-83 bombs in total about the same power as the warhead of Granite (500-600 kilograms). Here is such a hole in the flight room. armored deck.

                        Does this look like destroying an aircraft carrier?
                        And in total, 6 such bombs were thrown on the deck at that moment, and the tanker with almost 23 thousand liters of kerosene ...
                        Severe damage?
                        Yes, during the war, such damage was not considered at all.
                        The performance of the aircraft carrier is not reflected in any way.

                          I have a question.
                          How do you think the catapult cannot be repaired?
                          Has Russia had the experience of using several dozen catapult aircraft carriers in battles?
                          Modular replacement with stock of components has been around for a long time.
                          The aircraft carrier has 4 catapults.
                          Where are the other three going?


                          The question is as follows.
                          Why do you think that the bulkheads will not work to extinguish the energy of the explosion of the warhead?
                          Will you decide which warhead is on Granite, and when it is planned to be detonated?
                          Otherwise, you have a supersonic scrap on the one hand, which supposedly goes to take off, and on the other hand, a penetrating high-explosive warhead of 600 kg ...

                          Have you seen how many missiles and torpedoes hit that would flood a tiny tank landing ship with a displacement 15 times less?
                          Exactly 25-30 missiles to completely disable ...

                  I do not confuse.

              Some modern anti-ship missiles are able to make a slide. In principle, even a small anti-ship missile capable of damaging the deck can permanently withdraw an aircraft carrier as a combat unit. If the catapult is damaged, then this is already a "factory overhaul".

                This hole is caused by the simultaneous detonation of 3 bombs, with a warhead mass comparable to 600 kg of warheads from Granite.
                In a real battle, this hole will not even have any role.
                The Americans fought with aircraft carriers many years ago.
                They really fought.
                Strangers drowned and lost theirs.

                They drowned their decommissioned America for a whole month.
                Month.
                They ate the dog to ensure the safety of their aircraft carriers.
                Well, you can't consider them, with such a baggage of knowledge and experience, to be considered fools.

                And again it starts about one rocket.
                As the mantra is repeated - one rocket, one rocket.

                How many air regiments were there to destroy an aircraft carrier in Soviet times?
                How many Anteyevs was needed for one aircraft carrier?

                Well, we damaged one catapult!

                The decommissioned tank landing Ratsin was stuck with 15 anti-ship missiles.
                And nothing.
                And only torpedoes finished him off ...

                And they make up a fraction of a percent (well if) of the entire youth of Russia. By the way, not so long ago I talked with these "navalnyats-khodoryatami" - there was an experience - and so put them on all this ideologues. Hodora_navalny is for them just a tusa, to release hormonal steam from a lack of brain. And even if they ate and want to leave for the State, they don't need any service on any aircraft carrier for that organ! they should lie on a beach in Miami and sip cocktails ...
                Honestly, I even really welcome to a the youth left.

                  Have you ever looked about the "coronation" that is happening on the Internet?
                  Young people are almost 100%, refusing vaccinations ...
                  I understand that this is an artificially created syndrome.
                  From outside.
                  And most importantly, the main idea of ​​denial of vaccinations, the rejection of Faith in the leaders of the country.
                  And that this rejection of vaccinations has very far-reaching plans.
                  Covid will end, and mistrust in the authorities will only grow.
                  Those who are now 15-25.
                  And in a few years, on the following occasion, they will go to the Maidan.
                  In Moscow.
