Aircraft carrier Eisenhower headed for the Persian Gulf

The American nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Eisenhower withdrew from the Norfolk naval base (Virginia) and headed for the Sixth and Fifth Operational Fleets, the US Navy information service said on Friday.

It is assumed that after crossing the Atlantic, the aircraft carrier will spend some time in the Mediterranean, and then proceed through the Suez Canal to the Persian Gulf region, where it will be on duty for approximately six months.

"Working together with the Allies and Partners naval forces, the sailors of the Eisenhower carrier strike group will focus on ensuring maritime security and cooperation in ensuring regional security in the area of ​​responsibility of the Fifth and Sixth Naval Fleets," the information service indicated.

Do Americans really appreciate Iran’s threat of blocking the Strait of Hormuz?

If Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the supply of oil and gas from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, the UAE will stop, resulting in a deficit and prices will skyrocket.

As usual, as is the case with Hussein’s chemical weapons. The amers are all serious, especially the propaganda of lies.

[WW3]

Failing to resolve the Syrian issue, they will not go into Iran, but Iran itself often conducts exercises there, practicing possible overlap there as well. The region is too important for the Americans, given that they have the above-mentioned pro-American regimes, the Persian Gulf is saturated with oil and weapons, respectively, to control oil supplies.

Having not resolved the Syrian issue, they will not turn up in Iran

They will substitute the "old man" under the Syrian "Bastions" - this is the reason for a big war, as they already did with the battleship "Maine" in Cuba, with the shelling of their destroyers in the Gulf of Tokin, as with Pearl Harbor and the "attack on the twin towers and the Pentagon. " A well-tried and tested method ...

[KamikadZzzE1959]

Kaa,
We decided to dispose of the old man cheaply and angrily ...

[Bashkaus]

YES no, they will not substitute their "old man" Recently, new rules in the Mediterranean. Why do you think Moscow went there? Vovchik on it (on it - the Cruiser) solemnly signed a new law: a US Navy warship entering the Mediterranean must purchase a compulsory insurance policy, the package of standard services includes the service of two bodyguards of the "nuclear submarine" class guaranteeing the safety of an American aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean Sea and the zone Persian Gulf. Therefore, maybe these guys are happy to crank up the "crossbow" to get insurance, but the insurer was fiercely caught, he himself did not want to ...)))

[zanoza]

Yes, for 15 years I have been hearing this American-Iranian "scarecrow".

Iran frightens by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, Americans, "frightened" as planned send an aircraft carrier group there.

Game of Cat and Mouse ".
And there is reason to build up military power, in this region, on both sides.

It is written here that CVN # 69 "Dunya Izyakhauer" sailed on February 21.02.2013, XNUMX from Nurfulk, and even with a "German friend".
CVN # 70 "Carly Winson" also left Diego San to iron into the ocean-sea.
CVN№74 "Joe SyStanya" in the vicinity of the "bay" is baked in the sun for 2 months. And this is not counting LHA # 5 "Batek", which grazes in the Horn of Africa region and LHD # 6 "Bonya Richards" which quietly drags from Sasibo towards the "bay".
In the outskirts of Nurfulk, active educational "socks washes" are taking place during the last month, in which 2 AUG and 2 UDCs took part. I wrote about this last week and the week before last.

Stirring of the "sworn friends" began.
CVN # 77 "Jorik Bush" crawled out into the sea again and LHD # 5 "Bro" with it.
Now in the vicinity of Nurfulk, rinse socks in the shroud of 2 CVN and 2 LHD

"One of the points of negotiations between Russia and Iran in recent years, in addition to the problems associated with the construction of the nuclear power plant in Bushehr, was also the development of intermodal transport corridors. The construction of the Caspian-Persian Gulf shipping channel could become promising in the strategic partnership between Russia and Iran. -the economic justification of the project has already been developed: the route of the canal should pass through the north-west of Iran (along the channel of the Kyzylusen River) to Lake Urmia and further to the Shatt al-Arab river - the common lower reaches of the Tigris and Euphrates, where not far from their confluence with the Persian Gulf The largest Iranian ports of Khorramshahr and Abadan are located. This is the shortest route from the Caspian basin to the Indian Ocean basin when transporting Caspian oil to the countries of East Asia. An additional guarantee of the safety of such a project, according to Tehran, could be some articles of the perpetual Soviet-Iranian Treaty of Friendship, Neighborhood and Border of 1921, according to which the Russian Federation and Iran can provide each other with direct military assistance in case of threat to the security of these countries from other states. According to the apt expression of the Iranian ambassador to Russia, this channel means that "a second, northern neck will appear at the bottle of the Persian Gulf." The proposed canal project of the canal provides for the passage from the Caspian to the Indian Ocean of dry cargo of the "river-sea" type with a displacement of 5 thousand tons (for comparison, the Danube-Oder system of canals allows only 2 thousand-ton vessels). The degree of opposition to NATO countries can also be considered an indirect evidence of the importance of this project: the ongoing occupation of Iraq by the alliance forces can be considered the main obstacle to its implementation. One of the key moments of the transformation processes associated with globalization in the American way should be the struggle for the Caspian. The fate of Russia and other countries of the region will be determined precisely by the outcome of this struggle. http://www.geopolitika.ru/article/v-kaspiyskom-regione-ne-dolzhno-byt-stran-izgo
ev Russian officials expressed support for a project to build the Caspian-Persian Gulf shipping canal in Iran. For the first time in world economic history, this artery will provide Russia and a number of other states with direct, moreover, the shortest access to the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean.... http://www.rg.ru/bussines/rinky/132.shtm

[Lord of the Sith]

Carrier Strike Group (AUG) - operational connection of warships, the strike core of which is an aircraft carrier (AB). Modern US aircraft carriers have rather weak defensive weapons, and are not suitable for independent operations.

Each AOG, as a rule, includes one aircraft carrier, from one to four guided missile weapons (URO) cruisers, two to three URO destroyers or frigates, 1-2 multipurpose nuclear submarines (nuclear submarines), carrier-based carrier aircraft. Thus, the AUG includes 6-10 warships. If necessary, the number of cover ships may be more. On the basis of atomic aircraft carriers, high-speed atomic missile launchers are also being created, consisting of an aircraft carrier, two atomic cruisers and one atomic multipurpose submarine. The total number of AUG personnel reaches 9000 people, of which 6000 are on an aircraft carrier.

AUG can conduct military operations without replenishing supplies for up to 14 days, strike ships at sea to a depth of 925 km, and coastal targets - about 1600 km. The ability of AUGs to move over a distance of 1100-1300 km per day provides relative secrecy, and hence the suddenness of action, allowing you to quickly arrive in the designated area.

Until the 60s of the last century, the AUGs were intended for delivering nuclear strikes against strategic targets on enemy territory. With the introduction of ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) and the creation of intercontinental ballistic missiles, the aircraft carriers were transferred to the category of general forces, but were left in the reserve of strategic forces in the event of a nuclear war.

The main objectives of the AUG in wartime are:

- striking at objects located on the sea coast and in the interior of the enemy;

- air cover and support for the landing forces and ground forces operating in the coastal zone;

- gaining and maintaining air superiority in the area of ​​operation,

- providing air defense of ships, landing troops, large convoys at the passage by sea,

- blockade of the enemy’s coast,

- conducting aviation tactical reconnaissance.

In peacetime, with the help of the ACS, the United States carries out one of the key strategic tasks of the country's national security - a demonstration of strength in key regions of the world.

To solve these problems, AUGs are combined into aircraft carrier strike formations (AUS). The AUS includes 2-3 aircraft carriers, up to 25-30 guard ships, which carry out their anti-submarine, anti-aircraft, anti-missile, as well as anti-ship and anti-boat defense.

This is not necessary, on an aircraft carrier 3000 people. According to suicide reports in the Amer army, if I'm not mistaken, then the largest percentage of suicides in the Navy. Thus, on every aircraft carrier there is always a category of citizens to work with them, let us say there the General Staff of the GRU or some other services. And then the sailor just in the cellar with the bombs will remove the fuses and cause detonation. Any aircraft carrier will not survive the internal explosion of ammunition.

Why trifle ... if there are such people there, they would immediately take up a nuclear reactor on an aircraft carrier, that would be a big boom, the ammunition detonates next.

Kaa,
So this photo is just from the video that I posted.

The first underwater test and the fifth in the overall account of the explosions. The Mk-3A bomb was placed in a waterproof shell and launched under the water from the LSM-60. Eight target ships were sunk, among them: Saratoga, Arkansas, Nagato, LSM-60 ships, Apogon, Pilotfish submarines, ARDC-13 dry dock, YO-160 barge. Another eight ships were badly damaged. The level of radioactivity over the next 24 hours was about 700 r / h.

After an underwater explosion, a shock wave at a supersonic speed reached the surface for several milliseconds, forming a column of water spray and steam. A fireball of explosion then reached the surface, ejecting radioactive incandescent gases. The vacuum following the shock wave causes moisture to condense from the air, forming a vapor bubble visible in the second photograph. Gradually, this layer of fog dissipated, revealing a column of water and steam coming from below the surface. But it remained at a certain height, forming a mushroom "cap" (third and fourth photos).

About 10 seconds after detonation, the water column began to settle, reaching in its highest development 600 m wide and 2 km high, containing hundreds of thousands of tons of water. After water loss, a radioactive cloud remained in the air, the expansion of which at a speed of about 100 km / h in 4 minutes led to the formation of a torus 5 km in diameter, 500 m thick. At 7 km from the epicenter, waves 2 m high were noted.

once our pilots were arrogant, and now from time to time they cheer up............... They disrupted the joint US-Japanese exercises "Sharp Sword" ...... Martov said that the Il-38, serving in the Pacific Fleet's naval aviation units, "carried out the planned flights in the area of ​​daily fleet activity ".
According to him, "there were no violations of international rules for the use of airspace and flight rules on the Russian side."
Japan and the United States are conducting "Sharp Sword" maneuvers from December 3 to 10. Military officers from South Korea are watching the exercise as observers.
However, this behavior of Russian aircraft is not unusual. On September 10, 2010, several IL-38s swept past the USS Taylor ship at a distance of less than 50 m and at an altitude of about 30 meters. This maneuver was repeated several times. Moreover, the planes were not the only guests of the American frigate. The next day, September 11, a Russian helicopter flew near USS Taylor.

The Pentagon assured (I’ll shed a tear) that the incident was not considered a hostile act, but was regarded as an emergency . The US defense department explained that due to the passage of aircraft near the ship at low altitudes, there was a risk of an accident.

[Borisych]

The aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower was deeply modernized, first in 1985-1987, and then in 1995-1997. The second modernization cost the American taxpayers about $ 3 billion (in the prices of the indicated period). The third modernization and overhaul, which cost 2,5, $ 2001 billion, it was expected in 2005-2007. If we take into account the initial cost of the aircraft carrier converted into 4,5 prices - $ 10 billion, then its total cost, excluding the first modernization, can be considered approximately equal to $ 2012 billion (which is 69 is certainly even higher).

AUS - aircraft carrier strike force is a very powerful force of several aircraft carriers, submarines, cruisers, destroyers, frigates. To destroy it is tantamount to withdrawing the United States from the war. There were cases when the loss of 4 aircraft hit the psyche of shit.
It’s real to destroy a compound, not to mention aug, but this task is not easy. With the right approach, this can be done, although it is unlikely that we will see it. And you won’t get off with granite alone. This is a huge military operation with the use of aviation and most likely submarine forces to a greater extent.
Still need air defense ships precisely air defense, and not about and the aircraft carrier will not be superfluous.
