Some features of the use of carrier-based aircraft carrier type "Nimitz" (part 2)

In conclusion of this article, I would like to express my opinion on a number of issues raised in the discussion of deck carrier groups earlier.
In the aircraft carrier hangar, the 36 airplanes and the 10 helicopters are strung out, where to shove all the others?

We look at the diagram below.

And in the photo

We consider cars and we understand that on the flight deck on the pre-launch positions can be accommodated about 40 aircraft with several helicopters. In the traveling version on the flight deck there may be much more

They are on the deck of more than fifty.

Those. In addition to 36 aircraft and 8 helicopters in the hangar on the upper deck you can place at least another 40 aircraft and a couple of helicopters. - do not have to clean up in the hangar for the organization of takeoff and landing operations. At the same time, the hangar will be crammed until it stops, but if it is necessary to organize the rotation of cars - who prevents to lift a dozen aircraft from the hangar (bringing their numbers on the deck to 50) and then remove those that need repair, for example?

No one

Aviation can not be stored on the flight deck, open to all winds - it can be thrown into the ocean, damaged, in addition, sea air is harmful to the internal filling of aircraft.

Let's start with the simplest thing - the height of the board of the Nimitz type aircraft reaches 30 meters and it is extremely difficult to wash anything off its deck. Is that a giant wave-killer or a monstrous typhoon ... Pitching also can not throw the plane - special mounts are designed for it on the flight deck (by the way, planes on the hangar deck are also needed, the presence of the hangar does not save the hangar itself). Of course, planes open to all winds still suffer more damage than those hidden in the hangar, in which even the air is conditioned, but ...

Here is the deal. If the aircraft carrier is going on a peaceful march - it really does not have to carry the entire air group with it, half more than enough to train all the pilots of the full air group, and to participate in most exercises, as well. Therefore, it is likely that we often see pictures of American aircraft carriers with an almost empty flight deck.

But if an aircraft carrier goes to war ... will anyone really be bothered by the increased wear and tear of the aircraft attached to the flight deck? It’s doubtful that the war includes completely different criteria. And in order to keep such delicate things as, say, turbine blades from external influence, is it really impossible to invent any airtight covers on the nozzles and so on?

Airplanes in the hangar are made up like sardines in a bank; as such, they cannot be serviced or moved.

In fact, airplanes are drawn up right from the time of the first aircraft carriers. Here, for example, is the location of the Japanese Akagi air group.

But a small collage - real photos of the planes (he didn’t deny himself the pleasure and put a photo of the flight deck of an aircraft carrier from the Second World War before the start of the planes - if someone thinks that it’s close to Nimitz, look here)

Despite the hustle, it is quite possible to serve the aircraft - the fact is that under the wing of the same “Super Hornet” a person of average height can easily accommodate - there are no problems

So there are no problems with the service. With transportation, there is, but this is the case - with the aircraft carrier 4, and if you try to group, say, “Hornets” from one, “growlers” from another, “Hokai” and the third, etc. then, in principle, it is possible to raise exactly what you need at the moment.

In the photo, are the planes in the pre-launch positions with folded wings, when will they have time to spread their wings and hang up the ammunition before the start? Time is no place!

The "Tomkatov" wings do not fold, so there is no problem with them. But the folding wings of the "Hornet"

As it is easy to see, the main armament is mounted on the “non-folding” part of the Hornet’s wing. The very process of folding the wing happens very quickly and automatically (the very first video in the first part of the article - “Hornet” reveals the wings, having already entered the catapult)

Many thanks to everyone who mastered! :)

I support your opinion. In my opinion, no one could quite argue quite well on the analysis directly on the topic of the article. There were attempts to transfer it to another plane (for what aircraft carriers are needed and whether we need them), but this is another topic.
Although I will express my opinion and that is why we need aircraft carriers or not.
Whether it is necessary or not, it depends on who we are, if we do not need a raw materials appendage, then if we need a free country with geopolitical ambitions.
At the expense of the fact that Russia is a poor country, the example of annually stealing and taking away about 50 billion from Russia suggests that the country is not so poor and even half of this money would be enough to support 6 AUGs, two on the Pacific Fleet and Northern Fleet, and two on the shift change for maintenance and repair.

[Shot off]

Also absolutely agree with your opinion. For the layman, whom I am also, a very thorough article.

By the way, not 50 billion were exported. Only last year 94. and this is according to official figures; this did not include all kinds of fraud with foreign intermediaries in the export of products (Gazprom with its daughters, for example, serves many foreign customers through Austrian and Swiss intermediaries, but to whom they belong is another question). So this figure can be safely multiplied by 1.5, not counting the internal losses from corruption .... It's sad that is all.

[viruskvartirus]

But the man is right, the fire for such a thing is what the doctor ordered ... there are examples of the fire on the Forrestol aircraft carrier (1967), 134 was killed and 161 wounded. A 21 plane was deleted from the naval registry (7 F-4 Phantom II, 11 A-4E Skyhawk and 3 RA-5C Vigilante.
The fire on the aircraft carrier Enterprise (1969) the result of 27 dead, 343 wounded, lost 15 aircraft.

100 years of aircraft carrier dream.! the caravan is still coming .. and the end of this dream is not visible

I am a staunch supporter of the so-called "balanced fleet", in which aircraft carrier ships occupy a worthy place. That aircraft carriers will be built in our Navy, the facts say: the construction of NITKI, the development of an EM catapult, the design of an atomic AVU according to the TTZ of the Main Command of the Navy, and so on.
Actually, I'm talking about something else.
1 MV spawned battleships (LC). They became the main striking force of the fleets. 2 MB buried LK. The grave digger became an aircraft carrier. But! Even then, Germany, with the help of PL submarines, practically brought England to its knees. It is logical to ask a question: who will be the grave digger AVU? Or so: what is replacing the current aircraft carrier? So maybe, having foreseen the tendency of the development of the naval composition of the fleets, to begin to build the grave diggers of the state AVU?
Why am I talking about this? Yes, simply because the States cannot catch up with us in the usual (direct) way. And their fleet is a real threat to our Navy and the COUNTRY as a whole.
There is a threat. We need to find a way to neutralize it,
without drawing humanity into a nuclear apocalypse.
It seems to me that a special-purpose submarine built with SLBMs equipped with an RGCh with maneuvering hypersonic BB INs can become this tool. Secretly, unexpectedly, quickly!

[Barracuda148]

So it seems like they are experiencing RGH with maneuvering hypersonic BB IN

This is what was meant. Now the question is about the carrier. Do you think the statements of our top officials that it is time to abandon the restrictions on the BrSRD are random. However, time will tell.

Dear Alexander! It is more correct to ask what is going to replace the current aviation, then you will receive an answer to the question about the aircraft carrier. Many people here perceive an aircraft carrier as a huge and expensive ship, but it is not an end in itself, but only a carrier, if you like, "packing" FOR AIRCRAFT, there will be no need for aviation, and aircraft carriers will not be needed either. As for the submarines, they did not become either gravediggers of battleships or gravediggers of aircraft carriers, moreover, it was aircraft carriers and aviation in general that put an end to the domination of Doenitz submarines in World War II. There is no need to compete with the Yankees in terms of the number of aircraft carriers, but speaking of a balanced fleet, you need to mean all the possibilities for solving combat missions that can be assigned to the fleet, and for this you need aircraft carrying ships.

Good evening, Sergey! A correctly posed question is half the answer. In all likelihood, manned drones are being replaced by combat drones. BUT! airdromes (aircraft carriers) they will still need, like today's aircraft.

Quote: Per se.

it was aircraft carriers and aviation as a whole that put an end to the dominance of Doenitz submarines in World War II.

This is so, but if Daddy Doenitz had not "diving" boats, but at least ships with air-independent propulsion systems, and the final result of the struggle for the Atlantic (1942) could be doubted.

Quote: Per se.

to solve combat tasks that can be put before the fleet, and for this we need aircraft-carrying ships.

The tasks of the Navy are clearly spelled out in the "Fundamentals ..." The first is the destruction of important military-administrative centers, launchers, bases of nuclear weapons and so on. But in order for the RPKSN to fulfill it, an AVU (balanced fleet) is needed to ensure the combat stability of the submarine forces of the fleet. Even more important is the role of aircraft carriers in ensuring the deployment of submarines in the Atlantic to disrupt enemy communications. Having solved this problem, we take EuroNATO out of the game. Well, and so on.
And for understanding the essence of the problem .

Battleships were not the result of 1MB. It was their heyday, they were born as a result of the development of wooden sailing battleships, but the main burden of 1MB and the greatest number of victories were brought by cruisers and destroyers. They sentenced LK.
The aircraft carriers of the LK were simply finished off - the aircraft had a greater "range" than the shells of the most powerful battleship. Therefore, already in WW2 (and in some places in WW1), some of the battleships with might and main were "converted" into aircraft carriers. Especially unfinished ones.

We have them.
Well, maybe a little file and a file to file.
Actually, the lack of funds here was in the topic.
Missile cruisers and destroyers.
Yes. And the same Granite and others.
Why aren't you fighting UAVs? Well, the kamikaze class. And what ?!
And if you take the Hawk and attach a compartment for it for a couple of small-sized anti-ship missiles ?! Well, its range will drop, but it is redundant for anti-AUG targets. In addition, landing in the Hawk into the ocean is less traumatic than on the ground where it turns into aluminum trash.
Well, yes, Granite and others like him need to be updated, modernized, electronics and engines are fresher.
3M ++ attach.
Invisibility based on radar absorbing skin.
Although the hypersonic shock wave itself reflects the radar rays well, the application of plasma technologies (remember the superlaboratory of radiophysical effects of the Sukhoi Design Bureau?) Solves two problems at once - absorption of radio waves and reduction of friction with the conversion of hypersonic flow to supersonic.
And besides, cruisers and destroyers are the best suited for the AUG of future aircraft carriers and existing helicopter carriers.

No, I do not agree !!! The Russian-Japanese war, more precisely the Tsushima battle gave rise to the idea of ​​battleships, but the 1th MV experienced them with might and main in battle, and more than once!

The Tsushima battle gave rise to the idea of ​​battleships,

Good evening, Andrey! I am glad to meet you on the forum and the opportunity to exchange views.
I was referring to the classic Dreadnought-type LC, which appeared in 1906. The Russo-Japanese War became the finest hour of the squadron battleship. Historical fact: Project N, which later became the Dreadnought, was approved on January 13 of 1905 of the year, 3 of the month before the Tsushima battle. The last impetus for its creation was the training of the English fleet, conducted in 1904-05 years. This fact is also interesting: the Dreadnought, which gave the name to an entire class of heavy LCs, became a household name, became the only British LC that did not fire a single shot at the enemy.

[old man54]

Good evening, Alexander! Also glad, oddly enough! Thanks for clarifying. Somehow I got used to the opinion, read more than once by various specialists in their works on the history of the fleet, that it was after Tsisima that the idea of ​​a heavily armored, fast enough and very heavily armed sonic warship was born. After a detailed analysis of this battle by the naval theorists of the "enlightened" west.

I apologize for the offtopic but for good reason: HAPPY AIRCRAFT, MEN! And with the good news-

The day before, the chief of staff of the Airborne Forces, Lieutenant General Nikolai Ignatov, at a press conference in Moscow, said that no one would forbid swimming on the paratrooper’s fountains on that day.

"Bathing in fountains is not a crime. It is not an end in itself - to bathe and beat bottles on your head, this is a purely symbolic event, and, in my opinion, there are no consequences," the general stressed.

Usually, on their professional holiday, many servicemen and veterans of the Airborne Forces "by tradition" bathe in fountains.

[German]

fully support! Happy Holiday! Striped! (For some reason, the note on the Airborne Forces Holiday doesn’t work for me!) Clear skies and soft landing for you!

[PDM80]

The article is generally interesting. But in my opinion the author is somewhat disingenuous due to the fact that he is an adherent of aircraft carriers. The fact that forty planes can take off in a short period of time can be proven in detail, but the issue of landing forty of these planes is not clear. In ideal conditions, as I understand it, everyone will sit down, but if there is a storm, if the plane returns with damage and crashes during landing, on the take-off deck on which there will be other planes at that moment, what should the rest do? Okay, everyone sat down, how long will it take for them to be able to make a second flight? And if, during the inspection of the aircraft, it is recognized as unfit for further flight? We add to this that in the case of normal hostilities with a normal country with a fleet and aviation, the target of the attack of the aircraft carrier is not achieved, then the escort ships will have to finish the job for it! In my personal opinion, an aircraft carrier is just an expensive, advertised toy of Americans, who do not have a rich experience of wars, but have experience of the Second World War and several wars after, where aircraft carriers have shown effectiveness. Therefore, ships like our "Admiral Kuznetsov" are a further development of the idea of ​​an aircraft carrier, adapted for military operations much better than that of Nimitz. The Papuans in Africa will go to drive the aircraft carrier. military convoy to destroy yes, but no more.

but the question of landing forty of these aircraft is not clear

What's so incomprehensible? According to the standard, the landing of 40 aircraft is 40 minutes for good weather or 60 minutes for bad weather. In order to provide the aircraft waiting for their turn with fuel, "Hornets" tankers from the PTB can be raised (in total, they haul 14 tons of aviation fuel)

but what if the storm

Weather forecaster on the AV under control. The storm is not taken from nowhere, and the situation in the air is constantly and carefully studied. This was done on WWII aircraft carriers.

Quote: PDM80

if the plane returns with damage and crashes upon landing

They will remove the debris and continue landing

on the take-off deck, which at that moment will be other aircraft

It is completely excluded, because the landing deck is freed from aircraft. Otherwise, how to sit on it?

Quote: PDM80

Okay, everyone sat down, how much time would it take for them to make the second flight?

Several hours.

And if during the inspection of the aircraft they are deemed unsuitable for further flight?

They’ll take them to the hangar and get a new one from there.

Quote: PDM80

We add to this that in the case of normal hostilities with a normal country with a fleet and aviation, the target of an aircraft carrier attack is not achieved, then you will have to finish the work for escort ships for it!

How do you imagine this? :)))) Excuse me, but - it is completely excluded. Each of them has their own work, and an unsuccessful or not entirely successful attack can be repeated.

My personal opinion is that an aircraft carrier is just an expensive, publicized toy for Americans who don’t have a wealth of war experience,

At sea, their experience of warfare is just richer than ours.

Therefore, ships like our "Admiral Kuznetsov" are a further development of the idea of ​​an aircraft carrier, adapted for military operations much better than that Nimitz

Which is better? A scanty air group, besides with a limited ascent rate? Low speed and extremely unfortunate EA? The inability to base long-range radar weapons?

[viruskvartirus]

“The upcoming large-scale modernization is aimed at eliminating the shortcomings of the ship. Although today it is difficult to determine the directions of modernization, some conclusions can be drawn.
First of all, an insufficiently reliable boiler turbine power plant will be replaced by a gas turbine power plant or a nuclear power plant. The existing launchers of anti-ship missiles 3М45 П-700 "Granite" will be dismantled. [Source not specified 181 day] Therefore, it will be possible to increase the hangar up to 4500-5000 m² to accommodate an additional number of aircraft. The air defense of the ship will be enhanced by replacing the 3K95 Dagger with a new system with the new generation 80-120 anti-aircraft missiles. In combination with the new system, the 4-6 ZRPK “Shell-S1” will be installed.
The cruiser will receive new electronic equipment, probably the Sigma combat information and control system, which is designed to be installed on all new Russian warships. This BIUS provides unprecedented effective control of ship systems.
It would be logical if the cruiser received catapults. Given that the bow ramp will be retained, one or two ejection launchers could be located on the ship's corner deck. "

Toyota and VAZ are cars and no one will dispute this, but there is an obvious difference between these two cars. From quality to comfort.
This we still do not take as an example Maybach, McLaren, Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.
The dispute around CVN is completely empty.
The "waffle" is expensive but absolutely necessary, even taking into account the entire ground infrastructure of NATO and their allies-friends in all parts of the Earth.

Samplers must be gently selected.

[roma-belij]

And we also envied this technique, but our Kuznetsov is much more comfortable.

[tlauicol]

with six aircraft on board instead of 60, it’s certainly more comfortable.

[zvereok]

Damage to one aircraft carrier means the exit of the entire air group from the military conflict for an indefinite time, if there are several aircraft carriers, albeit with fewer aircraft, the air carrier group will be able to continue combat operations, albeit with less efficiency. It is also possible to project your military power in a more flexible way. If 1 Kuznetsova - 6 planes is enough to support the allies, then there will be 1 blacksmiths and not 60 planes. The rest of the Kuznetsovs will be involved in other places. In general, it would be nice to have an 1 aircraft carrier of the Nimitz type, for each fleet, and a couple of small aircraft carriers.

It is interesting to compare the cost of ownership of Nimitz and Kuznetsov.

I do not understand, it seems to be for 2010. on "Kuznetsov" -

[roma-belij]

I meant not only the number of equipment on board, but also the conditions for the crew, the types of catapults and the presence of springboards, etc. And the fact that Kuznetsov has 6 planes today is not the fault of the design, but the collapse of the army and the navy. Technically, you can shove 50 on ours, only there are no planes ...

Dear forum users! When I wrote the article "Some features of the use of carrier-based aircraft of supercarriers of the" Nimitz "class, I did not plan to divide it into two parts. But alas, there are size restrictions for articles on the site, and my article did not want to be included in one publication, so which had to be divided into two parts.

Not just with roll, but with roll above certain limits.
But when such a ship heels like that, the planes will simply blow from the deck.
At 10 point storm, the weather is clearly non-flying.

Not just with roll, but with roll above certain limits.
But when such a ship heels like that, the planes will simply blow from the deck.

To straighten the ship (including AVU) there is a general ship "equalizing" system. It allows, by flooding the tanks of the opposite side (Or pumping fuel, water, oils ...) to straighten the roll, to bring the ship to a normal landing.
It may seem strange to some, but the main weapon of AVU is HIS CATAPULTS! Having lost them, the aircraft carrier turns into a weapon transport for the transport of aircraft. This is our "Kuzya" has a springboard, gas bumpers and the thrust-to-weight ratio of the SU-33 is close to unity.
About stormy weather. I personally observed flights in fresh weather (4 points). AVU becomes a nose on the wave and at an angle of 30-40 * gives a stroke of 25-30 knots. Raised two pairs. In about 30 minutes he turned to the wind and landed the planes in a "parade" course. The flights were provided by a helicopter.
At the same time (aircraft lifting and landing), the ship is most vulnerable to submarines and missiles, as forced to go on a constant course.

For so many years of using the US aircraft carriers, they have already had so many instructions developed for all occasions. And sprinkle with saliva and say that it is expensive and not effective can be any number of times. But the United States, like no other country, knows how to count money, and if they use aircraft carriers, then they bring much more benefits than the cost of maintaining them.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Personally for Oleg Kaptsov
Oleg! You wrote in a previous thread that the 36 aircraft in the Nimitz hangar on your (more precisely - Cabernik) scheme are just short F-35S (length - 15,7 m) and therefore Tomkats will fit into the hangar much less .. I don’t know if the scheme will cling to the comment (for some reason it hasn’t cling to recently), but this is what I have to tell you
The Nimitsa hangar has a length of 209 m, a width of 33,6 m. So you can check in any graphic editor - fighters similar to F-35, only 11 is placed in length, the twelfth does not fit. Those. the length of the F-35 according to the scheme is approximately 17,5 meters :) In general, the fighter in the scheme of Cabernik is a bit off scale :)
On the diagram there are 20 Tomcat in the hangar (I tried very hard to bring it into a uniform scale, though I got excited with the width, it seems that the Tomcat should be somewhat narrower than what I have in the diagram - as you can see, there is still a lot of space :)))

[Ejik_026]

I suspect a lot depends on the set of equipment in the hangar :).
Hornetov will fit into a love more than Tomcat.

I think that with such a placement of aircraft in the hangar, it will be extremely difficult to work with them there. And there will be serious difficulties with lifting them to the flight deck. In fact, the hangar is probably not used this way. To be able to use them, you need to put them a little freer. I know what I'm talking about. I have experience in operating aircraft on ships such as "Kuznetsov", "Gorshkov".

36 planes in the Nimitz hangar on your (more precisely - Cabernica) scheme

Cabernet has nothing to do with it
This is a famous scheme from English-language Google.

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

Those. the length of the F-35 according to the scheme is approximately 17,5 meters :)

?
then there are the Hornets and the F-35.
Hornet length is known - emnip 18 meters
F-35 Length - About 15
hangar length 206,5

the circuit is the same circuit. What else do you want to know?

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Oleg, especially for you in the diagram below, I stuck 12 F-35С in a row one after another. You see, having the length of the aircraft 15,7 m, putting a dozen of them in a row we get 12 * 15,7 = 188,4 meters. It's clear? In other words, if you put 12 planes from one wall of the hangar to the other, nosing their noses in the nozzles of the neighboring ones, then 206-188,4 = 17,6 m should still remain to the opposite wall of the hangar. Simply put - Ф-12 in your scheme is BIGGER than it should be, be they on a single scale with the hangar of a Nimitz.

Oleg! You can prove something is useless. You can shove as much as you like, but at the same time the aircraft carrier turns into transport for delivering equipment to ground bases. A expensive barge

[ramsi]

if the additional aircraft for the fortress stands on deck, then how do they take off and land? The deck is cluttered. It seems that the aircraft carrier can only carry 80 aircraft, but not work with them

In the photo, 35 aircraft are quite free in the "sump", and on the runway there is nothing to prevent takeoff and landing.

[Kars]

Here, one at a time, they will take off for half a day, and if someone else decides to saditsa. And imagine an emergency situation - then what kind of fireworks will come out, it will be kindly expensive to see.
So this placement is not in a combat situation. Maybe they have a general cleaning in the hangar. Yes, I see the Hornets, and in the seed we had larger Tomkets (there was a link to the year)

[little man]

It seems to me that this cool photo is just not a good example. Only one catapult is available on the landing strip. And rasslivaya two others will have to sweat.

Quote: PDM80

Well, it’s you in vain, the Russian fleet under Catherine’s ships with slaves that went to America was caught. And Ushakov alone is worth

This is not so much experience as tradition. With all due respect to our admirals and crews of the sailing fleet.
As for the combat experience - the last positive experience we got in WWII on the Black Sea. There, our fleet did a lot of what was not in any countries of the world. But the revolution in the fleet was reflected VERY hard, we actually lost the naval cadres. Hence the very weak actions of our fleet in World War II.
The Americans, on the other hand, cherished and nurtured their fleet, while in the heat of revolutionary storms we lost personnel, in the USA they were grown. Well, they raised it ... and then their fleet clashed with the world’s most powerful fleet at that time (not in numbers but in combat potential) and still won ... Including due to the immeasurable increase in the combat training of Americans in the course of the war. If you recall the beginning - how they could not coordinate the actions of not only aviation from two aircraft carriers, but squadrons from one aircraft carrier fighting on their own ... completely unprepared for night battles. Americans could not oppose anything to the heavy cruisers of Japan ... And at the end of the war?
further - 50 years of undeclared wars. But if our troubles mainly occurred on land (such as the same Afghan), then the Americans constantly fleet participated in the battles - Vietnam, Korea and other Iraqi there. So that...
I do not deny the high level and power of the USSR Navy. But the Yankees still had much more combat experience

[PDM80]

I hope in practice of a full-scale war, supporters and opponents of aircraft carriers will not find out who was right in the dispute.

[Yura]

I am not a supporter of aircraft carriers, no, I don’t breathe evenly and calmly, but a good article was very interesting to read. In general, ships, submarines and aircraft carriers, too, but how without them, this is the height of engineering, and where does beauty come from, like purely utilitarian creations of human thought. Since ancient times, starting from sailing ships, ships have been shrouded in a flair of romanticism that raises and purifies the human consciousness. Article plus is good.

[shurup]

An excursion to a modern civilian warehouse stuffed with computers, microchips and headphone personnel can help to understand the principles of storing aircraft on an aircraft carrier.

[vladsolo56]

And yet I noticed that the supporters of aircraft carriers exaggerate their power to a greater extent, simply because they want to think so, but most importantly, for some reason, necessarily implies an underestimation of our armed forces, on the principle of weak resistance to threats from ACG. It turns out that the AUG in the world is the most decisive weapon. Whoever has it and the master on earth. All arguments for AUG vulnerability are not accepted at all.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Just a closer look

Quote: vladsolo56

All arguments for AUG vulnerability

cease to be so. It’s very difficult to kill AUGs - this is a very invulnerable compound, only the USSR had the potential to destroy AUGs, but its methods, at a cost similar to AUGs, had significant drawbacks and did not give the universality that aircraft carriers assume

[ramsi]

well, I don’t know ... And try tactical nuclear weapons? However, all the same, these are only theories; After all, no one has tried to "peck" AUG with conventional weapons since WWII. And the practical results can be very discouraging.

I think an explosion at a low altitude, even if it doesn’t sink, will sweep the entire deck, along with add-ons and other equipment. Further, you can achieve anything.
(Underwater, by the way, is also very unpleasant)

The problem is to deliver this same charge at a distance of several hundred meters from AB. It is not easy. Well - non-conventional weapons, nuclear armageddon.

[Ejik_026]

Just AUGs they could normally destroy, another thing is that they could not engage in bringing peace to the whole world.
Well, that wasn’t required of them. The main thing was to neutralize the AUG, i.e. fulfill the priority goal.

[cdrt]

You cannot win if you have only a minus goal, that is, with the goal - to destroy the enemy's fleet you cannot win, there must be a "plus" goal - to establish your dominance at sea (for the sake of something). Philosophy, of course, but - actually philosophy is translated as "love of wisdom"

For the USSR Navy, the goal was maximum - to interrupt communications across the Atlantic for 2-4 weeks.
In other words, a repetition of the same goal-setting that Napoleon, Germany had done before in WWI and WWII.
Actually, the results of the calculations of our own sailors showed that since the mid-1980s the USSR Navy could not accomplish this task with acceptable probability.

It was confirmed (for me it was amazing ) installation, described even 100 years before: the success of cruising operations (i.e. interrupting enemy communications) is determined by the ratio of the linear forces of the opposing fleets.

Yes, the fleet’s strategy was determined by the land strategy of the USSR and the ATS, but even with it, they were forced to begin to build the likeness of aircraft carriers, because the stability of our KUG without them was estimated by us as quite low. Hence, all 1143, Kuznetsov, etc.

No, well, take a real look at things - was there even a theoretical possibility to confront the USA and NATO on equal fleets? In my opinion, there is nothing but an asymmetric answer - and there’s nothing to think about

[cdrt]

did not give the universality that the presence of aircraft carriers suggests

+100500
That's it.
Here on the site there was a debate - how much is the opposition AUG: PLACR, Legend with a constant updating of the group costs the same, if not more than the AUG.

But, PLACR with Granites + Legend can only one thing - in the first (i.e. without actually declaring war) blow to destroy the opposing AUG.
And the AUG can do much more: deliver the first, retaliatory strikes, maintain dominance in any region, fight in local wars, strike on the coast, etc. In other words, for the same money, a much more universal mechanism.

[dustycat]

Quote: cdrt

Well, not for the same money.
If it would be the same for money - aircraft carriers in the USSR would appear.
And so RK like Peter the Great is an asymmetric answer.

[helix]

In the 70-80s, ours often opposed these same AUG artillery cruisers. Together they "walked" in certain areas in neutral waters, counting on the fact that when the time "H" was announced, the speed of the artillery cruiser was anyway higher than that of any AUG ship. And a couple of hits on the flight deck and on the superstructure will permanently disable the aircraft carrier - the task has been solved. So they walked in the visual visibility of each other. It is clear that our ship is like a kamikaze, but they considered it to be a profitable exchange.

[zvereok]

How long will it take to repair a damaged aircraft carrier? How many bases can this repair be done?

[tlauicol]

Forrestal - disaster and fire July 67, returned in April 68 - and this is before the application of the irrigated deck. what other ship boasts such survivability?

[sq]

+ That's right. But in reality there is no universal weapon (tool), the question is the competent use of what is.

and this whole chatter can last not a day, but much longer, and the waves are soooooooo big, what is a 30 meter board? it's nothing! whoever was at sea, and fell into a storm, he will understand me when the ship goes under water. for help. I went to the BATM. who cares.

Let's really assess the chances of Russia against AUG. In the USSR, this was considered a difficult task with heavy losses and attracting large formations of ships and aircraft. And now what means does Russia have? How much has the fleet and aviation component of Russia been reduced in comparison with the USSR. Or maybe in Russia they launched fundamentally new ships to combat the AUG or did the new airplanes become part of the Russian Air Force?

Only not on land, but on the sea.
And not a prodigy, but a modern "battleship" (in terms of Colombes, Mahen), a ship that is the most powerful weapon for establishing dominance at sea.

Vulnerability is a concept that applies to everything at sea. All that floats can be sunk.

Well ... in the form of a joke, on any other ships remained constructive protection (about the Orlans - it seems like the question of its presence is very controversial)?

Every technique, including combat, has its pros and cons. The same rake ... how good they are to rake the grass ... but at the same time you can get it on the forehead.
So it is with the AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. The main thing here is to decide ... what their main goal will be ... If they "scare the Papuans," as one of the forum participants writes, the brigantine of Cook's time will be enough. If the goal is to keep a potential enemy in suspense while cutting off our strategic interests and his, then perhaps high-class aircraft carriers are needed. So, if necessary, you need to risk something - both the quantity ... and the technical level of the aircraft. Even if there are 40 combat aircraft on board the AIR CARRIER ... after all, this is a full-blooded air regiment! What can he do and think scary ...
And if it is in the ocean, far from our shores and airfields ?? So proceed from this in the answer - do we need AUG or not!

The question is, what is more profitable to have in the 4 fleet small carrier ships with missile weapons and 24 aircraft, or 1 large with 40 aircraft, but the risk of losing everything for a long time.

It is interesting to know the comparable cost of building and servicing a large aircraft carrier and an aircraft carrier cruiser.

[antonio]

The author is well done! Knowing from personal experience the ability of Americans to organize and train teams, I think that they will load how much in the standard without any problems, and it’s somehow not technologically to divide the length of the hangar by the length of the aircraft.
You considering how much furniture to put in the room, divide the length of the room by the length of the sofa or cabinet?
Surely the layout of aircraft in the hangar is thought out more than once or twice, and depends on many factors, everything is calculated there accurate to the centimeter, if not to the millimeter.
And the vulnerability of aircraft carriers ... The big question is, the same Americans during the Pacific War, managed to repair their aircraft carriers with crazy speed.

[Andrei from Chelyabinsk]

Quote: antonio

and dividing the length of the hangar by the length of the aircraft is somehow not technologically advanced

Well, I wrote - PERSONAL for Oleg Kaptsov :))) He knows what it is about :))
it is not a matter of placement, but of a long-standing dispute with him. Oleg claimed that an air group of 20 Tomcat 20 Hornet and 20 Intruders simply could not physically fit on an aircraft carrier. When I pointed out to him the presence of photos with tomcat on the flight deck (despite the fact that there were 40 airplanes there) I asked if the 36 airplanes presented by him were sitting in the hangar and 40 were easily standing on the deck - what problems ? Oleg replied that on his circuit there are a lot of F-35, but if I try to push the tomkets there, I won’t fit.
I finally decided to sketch out a possible scheme for placing tokens in the hangar, but suddenly I came across an amazing one - it turns out that the silhouettes of the F-35 on the scheme are much larger than they should be. And how to explain this to Oleg? The easiest way to relate them to the known length of the hangar. Well, I do not propose to push them there in a single gutter :)))

[antonio]

Arguing with Oleg is difficult, but rather impossible ..
Then it’s easier to calculate the area of ​​the hangar, the area of ​​the aircraft and correlate these values.

[Shadowcat]

You can argue ad infinitum, and when the arguments end, start just waving your fists at playing each other's throats trying to prove the advantages of different fleet models. But there is always a struggle between armor and shell, or, applying to our question, there is nothing ideal. The country's army and navy are built around the global strategy that it sets for itself and what tasks it plans to carry out.
An important point is how to use the tool (yes, a submarine, an aircraft carrier, a tank, and even a soldier are an instrument in the hands of a commander to accomplish a goal and a task). You can also hammer nails with a microscope, but let me use a microscope for this? In the hands of a skilled commander, a herd of sheep is able to defeat a herd of lions controlled by a sheep.

[ramsi]

I completely agree on the global strategy ... Well, what is the "irreplaceable" role of aircraft carriers in ours?

[Shadowcat]

I have no idea. In my opinion, basing it is possible only in the Pacific Ocean, i.e. in Vladivostok. In the Northern sense, it will be only during navigation and everything, otherwise it can repeat the fate of Chelyuskin and other ships crushed by ice, or they can be done with the possibility of icebreakers. I do not consider the Baltic and Black at all because there he is a large floating target.
Although honestly I am a big supporter of cruisers and BDKs - you can bomb the coast with drones / winged ones, and after that you can launch helicopters.
But I’m not a military man and therefore I don’t speak beyond my assumptions. For me - if you need a tool to complete a task, you need to either get it or make it so that it is possible to perform this task with other tools.

Not being a moroman, I can only assume that the catapult's performance may be the main limiter. To produce 20 aircraft of 15 tons in a limited period of time is expensive even for a nuclear power plant. I don’t know whether the catapult propulsors are steam-generating or EM, but I doubt that at least in the latrines they turn off the light even during the release period, i.e. the system is balanced and does not allow excessive energy consumption, which in turn imposes a restriction on the rate of release of a large number of aircraft. In other words, 20 in 15 minutes - you can, 50 - you can in at least an hour.

In reality, full-fledged operation (constant flights with high intensity) can be provided, God forbid, for half of the regular air group. The second half is exclusively "one-time" use. Those. in a real serious battle, the aircraft carrier will provide the first strike "at full strength" and then either sharply reduce its effectiveness or be forced to go to "recharge".

The human factor, in simple words, the “gouging” of the crew, can play a certain role in the destruction of the ACG. In 2000, the Russian press wrote a lot about the incident that took place in the Sea of ​​Japan. During the joint exercises, in which about thirty ships of the Japanese Navy and the 7 fleet of the United States participated, Russian pilots on two Su-24 Mr aircraft managed to unimpededly launch conditional bombing on the Kitty Haw aircraft carrier. The Russians “caught” the aircraft carrier to refuel at sea, when the sleeves of the refueling hoses interfered with the departure of carrier-based aircraft. There was no air cover over the ship at this moment. It took a long time before the Americans were able to fly their carrier-based fighters. In real combat conditions, such a situation could lead to damage or even death of an aircraft carrier.

6 Japanese aircraft carriers were able to lift the entire 183 aircraft in the first shock wave (Pearl Harbor) - an average of 25-35 vehicles from the ship ... provided that the small Zero took off without any catapults, etc. difficulties

Oleg, can you read? read again

[tlauicol]

Oleg, do not dissemble: the thrust-weight ratio of Zero (and besides them also torpedo bombers, bombers) is insignificant, but there are no catapults, the volume of the hangar, the area, the length of the deck, the displacement of aircraft carriers do not take into account? and an hour later, the ancient Japanese raised the second wave

and in two waves disabled the entire Pacific fleet. from this blow, the amers came to their senses only in 1943.

AUG-and not so terrible and impregnable as many write here ... The combat experience of recent decades suggests that surface ships are very vulnerable to missile weapons ... Eilat was sunk - sunk, Sheffield sank - moreover, from the entry of far from the most modern rocket at that time ...
Quote:

The active phase was opened by the Argentines, when the San Luis submarine skillfully penetrated the center of the combat order of the enemy aircraft carrier formation. The submarine, remaining unnoticed, chose the “fattest” target according to the acoustic data, and its commander ordered to fire. However, from that moment the time of disappointment began. The boat's ammunition consisted of German wire-guided torpedoes and conventional American ones. The Argentines were the first to test the German design. The torpedo rushed to the target, which was only 2 km from the submarine, but got lost on the way. The control cable was cut, and the torpedo was lost in the ocean depths. A rare chance was missed. The British apparently noticed the torpedo and realized that they had let the enemy submarine into the center of the formation. "San Luis" was discovered, and ships of Her Majesty 20 hours drove a diesel Argentine submarine on the ocean. Surprisingly, the boat managed to break away from dozens of ships and helicopters, which in itself refuted some myths about the power of the Western anti-submarine defense.

What else to add - now there are maneuvering missiles and rockets flying in hypersound ... The personnel of the AUG-ok ships will not even have time to do it, as they will be perforated like a sieve with a flock of smart missiles ... And maybe the Aircraft Carrier will not sink but will certainly be withdrawn from building for a long time ... And why drown it? It is enough to arrange a huge fire on the deck of the Aircraft Carrier to completely turn the ship into an unnecessary trough and he will have to go far to the base for repair, and this will take weeks and even months !!!

I think that if it weren’t for nuclear weapons, we would have seen pictures of sinking aircraft carriers more than once ...

The unyielding San Luis continued to patrol. A week later, the Argentines were lucky again, another British ships wandered into the torpedo strike zone. Taught by bitter experience, the commander fired an American torpedo. According to the recollections of those who were on the boat, after the allotted time the sound of a torpedo hitting the ship's bottom was heard, and everything was quiet. The explosion did not happen, the American fuse was no better than the West German cable. But this time the British did not understand that they were being attacked. Conscious of his impotence, the commander of the "San Luis" took the boat away, the enemy did not pursue the Argentines.

The third attack took place on 11 May. This time, the submarine was missed by the acoustics of two British frigates, created, by the way, specifically to combat submarines. Carelessness again did not harm the British, torpedoes with the brand "made in Germany and the USA" stubbornly did not want to sink anyone. It is interesting that all the data about the shameful roguishness of the British were classified. Official reports spoke only of the 20-hour pursuit of San Luis, but no further attacks were mentioned. No wonder. At that time, Western taxpayers were assured that NATO anti-submarine defense would easily destroy all Soviet missile submarines. They did not disappoint the voters, although real episodes proved the opposite. Far from being the most advanced in concept and combat capabilities, the submarine three times deceived the powerful forces of the British PLO, which were assessed as the most combat-ready in the world.

[Mhpv]

17 May 1982 San Luis returned to Mar del Plata and began repairing torpedo tubes. The fighting ended before she was ready for the next exit. The material damage from the boat’s actions was zero. Despite this, it is considered the only Argentine ship that managed to break through the zone of complete blockade (Eng. Total Exclusion Zone, TEZ) declared by the British. But here the classic “submarine paradox” is manifested: if it hit the target, then it lost stealth, and if it remained undetected, was it there at all? On 2009 r operational documents S-32 from that campaign remain unavailable.

The reliability of open sources is doubtful. So, although Asqueta did not firmly say that he had hit anyone, this did not prevent the Argentinean propaganda from declaring either one or the other ship torpedoed or even sunk. The British press, rather than approaching the reports critically, mostly followed this story. [6] When Invincible returned to base, his sailors were surprised to hear that they were sunk.

I have never seen statements like "AUG is an unapproachable thing" here. Such categorical statements are the lot of amateurs and children. And Kaptsova. Another thing is that the AUG is a serious force, for it includes not only aircraft carriers, but also air defense ships, anti-aircraft missiles, and submarines. In peacetime, our people watched them, but who said that there was a war and some ship was allowed to approach the AUG?

[Selevc]

I gave an example above as an outdated submarine during the war quite successfully penetrated the AUG location !!!

AUG is a serious force, because it includes not only aircraft carriers, but also air defense ships, PLO, and submarines.

Sheffield was successfully sunk despite the fact that he was part of a group where there probably was a serious air defense system !!! Moreover, the enemy sank much weaker than the UK, which has a very, very limited set of anti-ship weapons !!!

But the real power and effectiveness of AOG against an equal opponent is very doubtful, except as a horror story for Banana countries !!!

And they also cite as an example our nuclear submarine that rammed the bottom of the Kitty Hawk, the nuclear submarine that rammed the frigate Voj and other cases, for some reason giving it out as a miscalculation of the Americans in finding our submarines. At the same time, forgetting that ours themselves turned out to be blind. The aircraft carrier cares - whether they noticed it or not, you can't really hide it, but the submarine needs to be hidden

With all due respect to you, although you don’t need to hide the aircraft carrier, but letting the submarine pass under the bottom is a miscalculation, and only an unforeseen maneuver led to a collision. It is interesting how the captain of the submarine feels having the opportunity at any time to sink the aircraft carrier.

[Mhpv]

And again the human slop factor:
"Five Argentine aircraft took off from the Rio Grande airbase and headed for the Falklands. Two French-made Super Etandar carrier-based attack aircraft under the right console carried one Exocet anti-ship missile, and under the left - a jettisonable fuel tank with a capacity of 1100 liters. One aircraft with the same armament it was a reserve, and the other two carried only fuel tanks, performing the functions of refuelers.

Already in the air, the pilots received information that south of the Falkland Islands found two large English ships - allegedly destroyers. This important message was received from the Neptune reconnaissance aircraft, which had flown to the area at 30 min earlier. The British ships of the long-range radar patrol, the destroyer destroyer URO Sheffield and the frigate URO Plymouth, were found.

Apparently, the British did not expect the appearance of Argentine aviation. The weather in the area was non-flying: the horizontal visibility range was no more than 400 m, and the lower edge of the clouds descended to 100 m. At this time, Sheffield was negotiating with London via the Skynet satellite communications channel. To eliminate interference, the commander ordered to turn off all on-board electronic equipment. At Plymouth, there was only one search radar.

Turning off the airborne radars, the Argentine pilots dropped to extremely low altitude and increased speed, and then sharply changed course in the calculation of approaching the enemy from the south. The British considered the eastern and western directions to be the most threatened.

At a distance of 50 km from the British ships, the pilots, having jumped up to 150 m, switched on the radar for a few seconds. The indicators showed both targets. Without wasting a second, the pilots entered target designation data into the onboard computers of cruise missiles and fired an Exocet missile for each target. At the time of launch, the onboard equipment recorded the operation of the Plymouth radar. After the launch of the Super Etandary missiles, having dropped to a height of 30 m, they made a turn to the opposite course and left towards the mainland. "

[Evgeny_Lev]

Interestingly, in terms of safety in combat, it is permissible to exhibit such a number of aircraft next to each other?

[Delta]

and is there much greater distance at ground airfields? and how, in fact, will the explosion of an airplane or its missile at an aircraft carrier and the same explosion at a ground airdrome be different? everything nearby will be destroyed

A feature of many military aerodromes is dispersed shelters for aircraft: open type - earth coverings, and closed - arched shelters (RCU - reinforced concrete shelters), as well as taxiways of great length, laid by a broken route, in order to minimize damage to enemy air attacks.

[Delta]

it goes without saying. No one says that an aircraft carrier can be compared with an aerodrome, its capabilities and the capabilities of basic aviation. Personally, I say that for the mobility of an aircraft carrier something has to be paid. Including taking risks

[helix]

Good article. And the comments are interesting to read. Having significant experience in operating our aircraft at Kuznetsov and as a helicopter technician and organizing flights of the entire air group, there is nothing to add significantly. I agree with most of the conclusions.
At the present time, we have no opportunity to oppose something seriously, on equal terms, to the American AUG. Here we have to look for asymmetrical answers. For example, in Soviet times, in the Mediterranean Sea, our sometimes kept an artillery cruiser next to their AUG. Walked in visual proximity for weeks. Its performance will be any higher than that of any AUG ship. And if suddenly the time is "H", then before his death he would have managed to plant several shells in the flight deck and in the superstructure of the aircraft carrier. The problem has been solved. The exchange was apparently considered acceptable.

Absolutely wise! The AUS of the states has always, even in the heyday of the Soviet fleet, been a headache for the leadership of our Navy. Only PLA and MRA could really fight them. Therefore, organizationally, anti-aircraft divisions of the plARK pr.949A were created, the MRA divisions with the APCR. R&D was carried out under the program of creating an ICBM with a maneuvering warhead. I remember the Strategic Missile Forces promised to "boil" the entire ocean, but to roll the AVU on a blumeng. Now they are seriously talking about EMP (energy impulse), which will detonate the nuclear reactor of an aircraft carrier. But there is no concrete solution to the problem. It all depends on luck, skill, commander's luck, availability of forces, maintenance and development of MBT. One of the promising areas is the adaptation for this case of an ISBM with a hypersonic maneuvering warhead in the final section.

[forma2]

for me so all these UAG nonsense. "For what, they are only suitable for underscoring the presence in the region, nakshtalt diplomatic immunity in another state. There is only one guarantee and acts like a childish egoism: Yes, you took my boat / broke, I tell you ..."
So in reality it all depends on the degree of statehood and the will of power

Andrey, you could end the argument by drawing only one diagram - "Aircraft carrier Roosevelt" in Yugoslavia according to Stepanov's version.

There are emnip of 70 aircraft of which there are 28 Tomcat. You can neglect the turntables - all the same, these little cars do not affect anything

Quote: PDM80

The fact that forty planes can take off in a short period of time can be proved in detail, but the question of landing forty of these planes is not clear. In ideal conditions, as I understand it, everyone will land, but if there is a storm, if the plane returns with damage and crashes during landing, on the take-off deck on which other planes will be at that moment, what should the rest do?

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

According to the regulations, landing of 40 aircraft is 40 minutes for good weather or 60 minutes for bad.

But - not according to the standards ("J. Washington", 2003 - during landing, the cable burst, the plane went into the trash, scraps of the cable of seven sailors from the deck crew in a stew)


And this is generally zvizdets


Here's another question that interests me - quite often (so much that this cannot be neglected) that the planes flying out on a mission are forced to return for some reason (1-2 from the group). the question is where to urgently plant them, because the runway is clogged

[barbiturate]

Oleg decided to show that there are accidents on aircraft carriers?

Oleg, where did you get this return frequency? Although anything can happen, and if you read about the action of the command in emergency situations, then 1. If the plane can stay in the air, then it will simply very quickly free the landing strip and land normally (it has a lot of fuel from takeoff, time suffers) 2. Stretched " the last chance "between 3 and 4 with the aerofiner cable and will be caught in the net (the plane receives minimal damage) 3. they will simply be ordered to do some adaptation and will be picked up in a rescue helicopter (it rises into the air when performing ANY flights), what to do, but the pilot is above all and goodbye 1 airplane ) Emergency missiles and torpedoes are also fired from the ammunition of non-aircraft carrier ships)

In the entire history of Kuznetsov's operation in the Northern Fleet (since 1992), the air arrestor cable broke only 3 times. Of these, 2 times in one flight shift! We lost only 1 aircraft (Su-33). And (for this reason) not a single person!

[Santa Fe]

Well, "Kuznetsov" went out to sea only 3 times

I exaggerate of course, but you probably caught the thought — Kuznetsov’s carrier-based wing wing was practically not used - the EMNIP has been there for the entire history of everything. 700 take-offs / landings

[tlauicol]

statistics? how many sorties from Kuznetsov made? how much with eisenhower? these statistics are simply disastrous for us. how many deck pilots do we have? and the enemy?

Quote: Andrey from Chelyabinsk

if the plane returns with damage and crashes upon landing
They will remove the debris and continue landing

Andrey touches with his childish simplicity and optimistic outlook
A plane crash is like a broken cup - it just fell and fell apart, easily and simply. No smoke, no fire. All large debris, without hitting anyone, immediately fall into the sea. It remains to take a broom and sweep the deck for a couple of seconds.

Just a little bit was not enough space and when landing one struck another. Flame ten meters. Enterprise, 1998 year



It’s a pity ... a couple of meters to the side and it could turn out a cool fire show



Well, the fireworks are not strong



The damaged Hornet sits down - watch from the moment of 03: 00. What do you think, Andrey, how many minutes (tens of minutes) will unravel (cut) the network and pull the damaged 15-ton machine to the side? (at the same time, do not forget about fire safety - it can ignite at any second)

Beautiful videos :)) Navy crashes happen of course, alas .. and aircraft carriers are no exception - but look how damn enduring this thing is! not one died, everyone returned to duty!
The brave, Bur.Komsomolets, Monsoon burned to the ground, you can count the NATO losses! and submarines from K19 to Kursk, Scorpio plus diesel engines after the war, hundreds and a half were drowned and decommissioned after accidents.

Now let Ph.D. Stepanov will cut out the mock-ups of the flight and hangar decks from cardboard, glue the planes on the same scale and try to push units of aircraft into Nimitz 79 (so that it can work normally). I think you can help him in this hopeless affair.

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

Each AUG, as a rule, includes one aircraft carrier, from one to four guided missile cruisers (URO), two to three destroyers or frigates of the URO, 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 multi-purpose submarine. The total number of AUG personnel reaches 9000 people, of which 6000 - on an aircraft carrier.
Many people forget that before destroying an Aircraft Carrier, it is necessary to suppress its protection, and these are not radio-controlled ships and are in no way inferior to the ships of other countries in terms of performance characteristics, and the Aircraft Carrier itself is a queen in a bee swarm.
And one more thing:
"To solve the problems, the AUG are united in aircraft carrier strike forces (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."

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,

from time to time, if I have free time, I go to the site and read interesting articles with pleasure, especially Andrei from Chelyabinsk. I am not a military specialist at all, (I have my own business), I'm just interested in military affairs. I am convinced that I am a nationalist, I consider Russia a potential adversary, respectively, the United States and NATO are allies. Well, nothing, it will be more interesting to communicate. According to the article - all forum users reasonably defend their point of view, BUT! It is impossible to consider Americans as stupid, respectively, if they invest such crazy money in aircraft carriers, then everything is calculated, possible situations are modeled hundred times and with various opponents. My conclusion is that aircraft carriers are a powerful offensive weapon, especially if it is not an AUG, but an AUS, as Mr. MCHPV correctly noted ...

[ramsi]

but, perhaps, I agree that the amers have calculated everything well. In addition to the listed possibilities, the fleet, along with foreign military bases, is a very convenient "figure of exchange", like a lizard's tail, which can be discarded in political games, and the matter is not brought up to Armageddon. As they say, this is their strength, but this is also their weakness. In the end, it is not the one who is better prepared and equipped that always wins, but the one who is not afraid to die.

for me, it’s precisely in this case that nuclear tactical weapons were developed

[Mhpv]

Quote: SFera

for me, it’s precisely in this case that nuclear tactical weapons were developed

Read the links no one wants to have to lay out excerpts:

Tactics of struggle with AUG

American strategists consider modern AUGs practically invulnerable to the enemy. And this opinion is really justified, given the effectiveness of AUG protective equipment. At a distance of up to 1000 km, AOG tracking equipment is already capable of detecting the enemy’s target and preparing to repel attacks. You can hit an aircraft carrier only by approaching it at a distance of rocket launch. However, the AUG is capable of counterattacking the enemy with the help of carrier-based aviation even before it approaches the line of a missile attack. To this should be added the high structural strength and unsinkability of modern aircraft carriers. Even the detonation of a nuclear charge with a capacity of up to 50 kilotons near an aircraft carrier, if this is not a direct hit, does not guarantee its sinking. Being damaged, he will still be able to perform a number of functions, remaining the center of the ACG.

During the Cold War, the problem of countering the ACG of a potential enemy was very acute for the leadership of the USSR Armed Forces. As you know, the Soviet Union never had a powerful aircraft carrier fleet. For him, this toy was too expensive. Therefore, the Soviet methods of combating AUGs were much less expensive than the use of aircraft carriers, but at the same time quite effective. Of course, they can only be talked about their effectiveness, based on the calculations of Soviet military theorists, because today there is no proven methodology for the destruction of modern AUG. The weapon developed in the Soviet Union for these purposes in the 70 - 80-s, is in the service of the Armed Forces of Russia to this day. The methods of its application have not changed.

In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the fight against the AUG (AUS) is assigned to attack groups of submarines and surface cruisers with anti-ship missiles, naval missile-carrying aircraft and long-range air forces. For fire destruction AUG specified forces are used in conjunction.

To date, anti-ship missile systems P-700 Granite and P-1000 Volcano can be considered effective enough to combat AUG weapons.

The missile cruisers of the 1164 Atlant project - Moscow, Varyag, and Marshal Ustinov, after modernizing their armaments, carry the Vulcan complexes on the 16 (previously they carried the same anti-ship missile system Basalt, which are now outdated).

10 Project 949A Antey nuclear-powered submarine cruisers each carry 24 Granit anti-ship missiles. Two Project 1144 heavy nuclear missile cruisers - "Peter the Great" and "Admiral Nakhimov" each carry 20 missiles of the same class, and the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov" - 12 anti-ship missiles.

[Mhpv]

Long-range aircraft, capable of solving the tasks of defeating the AUG, are the Tu-22m long-range bombers. These aircraft can carry from 1 to 3 X-22MA air-to-surface missiles with a range of destruction of naval targets up to 400-550 km.

The most advanced Russian anti-ship missiles today is Vulkan. Currently, there are no analogues to this rocket in the world. Its flight range is 700 km. This is a hundred kilometers greater than the range of anti-ship modifications “Tomahawk”, almost three times the flight range of the main American RCC “Harpoon”, and approximately corresponds to the range of deck fighter F / A-18. The marching speed of the Volcano is 660 meters per second, in the last section of the trajectory it is a kilometer per second, which is three times higher than the speed of Harpoon and Tomahawka and twice as fast as the maximum speed of the F / A-18 fighter. “Volcanoes” carry a warhead (warhead) containing 500 kilograms of powerful explosives, the TNT equivalent of which, according to various sources, is from 1000 to 1500 kilograms. The power of the Vulcan warhead significantly exceeds the 454 kilogram TNT warhead of Tomahawka and the 227 kilogram of harpoon. The power of the "Volcano" allows you to destroy any destroyer or cruiser with one hit. In addition, missiles of this type can be equipped with nuclear warheads, which do not require a direct hit to destroy a ship. The enemy’s air defense breakthrough for Vulkan facilitates the reservation of the warhead and important components, which reduces the likelihood of the destruction of anti-ship missiles by close detonation of an anti-aircraft missile and low altitude. RCC "Volcano" - a highly intelligent weapon that can carry out "collective" actions, counteract enemy air defense and independently choose the most important target. In the computer memory of the missiles there are so-called “portraits” of radar for all ships, and information about all possible versions of orders is also included. Missiles attack along the most rational trajectory, having built themselves as a warrant and exchanging information with each other. As already mentioned, in a salvo of one submarine of the 949A 24 project, missiles, each of which also has its own false targets for breaking through the missile defense. 23 missiles go low above the water, one rises higher, periodically turning on the radar to aim at the target. It determines the number of targets and distributes them between other missiles. In the case of the destruction of the "leader", his place is taken by the next rocket. The largest target, that is, an aircraft carrier, in the warrant of ships is automatically determined by missiles. After a breakthrough, missiles distribute targets according to their importance in order to ultimately ensure the defeat of an aircraft carrier. First, cover ships standing in the way of the missiles are destroyed, and then a strike is struck on the aircraft carrier.

One rocket, when detonated in the vicinity of the side of the ship, makes a hole with an area of ​​about 30-45 sq.m and a depth of 25 m. To disable an aircraft carrier, it is necessary to hit the 8-10 anti-ship missile system "Granite" with conventional equipment. When breaking through missiles to an aircraft carrier, up to half of the security ships must also be destroyed. Taking into account the anti-aircraft defense, for guaranteed destruction of the AOG, it is necessary to use 70-100 anti-ship missiles from all types of carriers in one stroke.

[Mhpv]

Striking such a power requires a well-coordinated operation of grouping ships in combination with the actions of the Air Force.

The main problems in operations of this kind are:

- timely deployment of the required number of nuclear submarines into the ocean to create a strike group until the AUG approaches the strike line, or mass lift of carrier-based aircraft, building them into battle formation;

- the organization of interaction of strike groups of submarines with aviation;

- reconnaissance and target designation at all command posts and strike forces.

If the Russian armed forces still have sufficiently reliable means to fire at the AUG, then the situation with reconnaissance and target designation is much more complicated. To attack the AUG, the submarines move out underwater. The sonar system (GAC) of the nuclear submarine "Antey" is capable of detecting targets at a distance of only 100 km, but at such a distance the Russian submarine itself will be detected by the enemy's PLO. Thus, Russian submarines, in the presence of a powerful anti-ship weapon - anti-ship missile "Granit" with a firing range of 550 km, are practically "blind", and need target designation from surface, air and space reconnaissance means.

Operations for the destruction of the AUG were practiced by the Soviet Navy. In the 1985 year, the 7-I anti-aircraft submarine division was formed, consisting of two tactical groups. In each group there were 2 nuclear submarines of the 949A project and 1 nuclear submarines of the 671 RTM Pike project. The latter was designed to perform the functions of AUG detection. In order to develop a methodology for combating AUG in the Barents Sea, exercises were conducted with missile firing at a target field. The battle formation of the tactical group was as follows. The "Pike" was advanced into the forward guard at 20-40 km with the task of detecting the enemy of the Skat SJSC. Behind her, the front ranks of the 2 Antey submarines. According to the results of the exercises, the composition of the tactical group was adjusted. To ensure the actions of the group, a reconnaissance-air curtain was formed as part of three nuclear submarines of the 705 or 671 RTM projects.

In June 1986, a division exercise was held in the Norwegian Sea. The “goal” was the real US AUG, which conducted exercises in the same area. Forces of the TFR of the 1135 project, Tu-95РЦ and Tu-16Р planes organized tracking of the aircraft carrier. This allowed the Anteys to secretly advance to the distance of an effective missile salvo, without entering the AUG anti-submarine defense zone. However, it should be noted that in real combat operations, Soviet (Russian) reconnaissance aircraft would be very quickly destroyed by AUG carrier-based aircraft, which would actually lead to the "blinding" of submarines. In addition to aviation, satellites can be used for target designation, but even in the event of a real war they would not exist long.

[Mhpv]

The capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to combat ACG are increasing in its coastal zone due to long-range aviation based on the coast. A powerful weapon for defeating aircraft carriers is the Tu-22M missile-bombers, which in modern Russian aircraft have more than 170 units. The range of these aircraft is about 1500 km (depending on load, speed and altitude). The maximum speed is 2300 km / h, and at the ground - 1050 km / h. The normal combat load for them are 2 X-22MA Storm missiles. To disable AUG, at least 40 Storm missiles must be launched. Thus, to successfully attack an AUG, you need at least a Tu-22M regiment consisting of 20 vehicles with 2 X-22 missiles on each, plus 10 EW aircraft, several Tu-95 or Tu-22 MR reconnaissance aircraft. However, AWACS aircraft, carrying round-the-clock combat watch over the AUG, make a sudden airstrike almost impossible. The opposition of carrier-based fighter aircraft is likely to frustrate the attack as it approaches the aircraft carrier. And besides, the attacking forces need to overcome the air defense and missile defense of the ships. Therefore, bombers will need a cover in the form of a regiment of SU-27 fighters.

It is worth noting that the preparation of this operation will require the concentration of a large number of aircraft at coastal airfields, at risk of falling under the preventive strike of the AUG.

In addition to the air defense and missile defense forces themselves, the AUG has such a powerful combat tool as electronic warfare systems. During the development of methods for the destruction of AUGs by Soviet pilots, it was noticed that when approaching U.S. aircraft carrier formations due to the influence of interference caused by electronic warfare equipment, it is practically impossible to direct missiles at targets. Therefore, an attack plan was developed, in which 8 X-22 missiles with nuclear warheads were first launched over areas. It was assumed that after this the power of the electronic warfare will significantly decrease, and it will be possible to launch a second wave of missiles for specific purposes.

In Russian aviation, the exercises also work out methods of hitting an aircraft carrier with bombing from Su-24 bombers, however, in a combat situation, counteraction against AUG anti-aircraft defense means will most likely turn Russian pilots into kamikazes.

[Mhpv]

As for the chances of defeating the AUG with URA cruisers of the Glory type (proudly referred to as “killer aircraft carriers”), even with the Vulkan anti-ship missile, they are small. Undoubtedly, the firepower of the Slava-type cruisers is extremely high, but when approaching the line of missile launch, this ship will inevitably be detected by means of AWG and attacked by carrier-based aircraft. Despite the rather serious air defense system of these cruisers, he could not resist the AUG air wing. Seriously talking about the AUG attack by surface URO ships is possible only if they are covered by a powerful aviation group. In the open sea, such a cover can be provided only by one ship in the Russian fleet - Admiral Kuznetsov TAVKR. In principle, a squadron consisting of a TAVKR and a cruiser of the Glory type, better than two (plus several destroyers of the URA), can pose a rather serious threat to the AUG. However, all three Slava cruisers are dispersed across different fleets of the Russian Navy, and in the event of hostilities, only one of them, Marshal Ustinov, can be covered by aviation.

Speaking about the capabilities of the modern Russian armed forces to combat AUG, it should be recognized that they are not too high, and, of course, lower than those that the USSR had. This is largely due to the weakness of the Russian means of electronic warfare and early warning systems. It is also naive to believe that the strike forces for combating AUG listed above are in exemplary condition. In the case of a hypothetical aggression against Russia, the anti-avian forces will have to face not even the AUG, but the AUS, which is even more difficult to deal with. However, a certain probability of the defeat of American aircraft carriers, apparently, exists - primarily in the coastal zone. In practice, everything can depend on many circumstances, and it is hardly possible to predict the course of hostilities in advance.

[Mhpv]

No one says that the AUG and AUS are not conquered, it’s just that the price will be too high, and while Russia is only raising its fleet and army, but the Americans are not fools to climb on the rozhen, even against the current Russian Armed Forces, otherwise they would have tried for a long time.

[Rus2012]

Quote: mhpv

Long-range aircraft, capable of solving the tasks of defeating the AUG, are the Tu-22m long-range bombers. These aircraft can carry from 1 to 3 X-22MA air-to-surface missiles with a range of destruction of naval targets up to 400-550 km.

Here is the tactics of missile-carrier actions in the event of such a statement of the problem - http://topwar.ru/24349-tu-95-cel-amerika-chast-2.html

For the destruction of the AUG, the ocean convoys of the United States and its allies, the Tu-95K-22, armed with effective, but not very reliable X-22 missiles, became the most suitable aircraft. After 2-3 preliminary rounds of the landfill with the X-22 suspended but not refueled, it often failed. For this reason, in critical launches (such as showing to the Minister of Defense), two Tu-95 were always involved: if one missile did not go off, the second shot. The cumulative warhead of this missile could hit an 12 meter hole when hit in a ship, and the flight speed (3670 km / h) made it almost invulnerable. The only problem was to be able to launch it: after all, the practical launch range was 350 km, and the intercept line was at a distance of 1100 km. At this distance, the main danger was F-14 fighters capable of attacking 6 targets simultaneously. As they approached the AUG order, more and more troubles began to deliver its electronic warfare equipment. According to the navigators, the effectiveness of these tools was tremendous: target marks on the screens literally drowned in a cloud of interference, it became impossible to aim.
Therefore, the general scenario of the attack provided, first of all, for launching eight X-22s with nuclear warheads not for specific purposes, but in the area where the AUG is likely to be located at that moment. It was believed that after this interference situation would allow to single out individual ships and deliver an accurate strike. In the event that the second wave of the X-22 loses its targets due to interference, the missiles will immediately redirect to their sources, the destruction of which will make it possible to hit for sure from the third time.

Even if we assume the most pessimistic scenario of a missile strike on AUG-ke, then the conclusion suggests itself - AUG-ka is unlikely to continue to function normally ...

I’ll explain - let 12 missiles be fired on the AUG-ke - let the guard ships shoot down two-thirds - that is, 8 missiles ... 4 missiles get into the Aircraft Carrier - therefore we get 4 huge holes - even if at least two of them get sea water - it gets very quickly through an opening of 30-45 sq.m. Consequently, the aircraft carrier very quickly receives a serious roll on one side - what is happening at this time on the deck full of aircraft and in hangars too - I think that a complete scribe !!! Plus, on a ship, if not a complete, then almost a complete failure of the power supply and the functioning of complex computer equipment ... Therefore, the ACG loses its combat effectiveness for at least a month or maybe more depending on the distance from the repair bases ...

That's all - one successful salvo on AUG-ke and the enemy has a complete disruption of all the goals of warfare at sea ...

[Selevc]

Quote: mhpv

You can hit an aircraft carrier only by approaching it at a distance of rocket launch. However, the AUG is capable of counterattacking the enemy with the help of carrier-based aviation even before it approaches the line of a missile attack. To this should be added the high structural strength and unsinkability of modern aircraft carriers. Even the detonation of a nuclear charge with a capacity of up to 50 kilotons near an aircraft carrier, if this is not a direct hit, does not guarantee its sinking. Being damaged, he will still be able to perform a number of functions, remaining the center of the ACG.

This is all unfounded and not verified by real military clashes ... Each major country leader in rocketry has its own "trump card" in the sleeve to combat AUG-mi ... The frontier of a missile attack expands significantly if the enemy has missiles flying on hypersound !!!
I repeat the aircraft carrier does not need to be drowned - it needs to be set on fire properly !!! A good fire on the deck is guaranteed to disable the entire ship, stuffed with modern navigation and take-off and landing control equipment ... Even from the fire, planes standing on the deck may catch fire, and if most of the planes in the sky at the time of the aircraft carrier’s defeat by rocket, it’s not known whether they can land on a damaged one deck or maybe just from lack of fuel fall into the ocean !!!
In addition, during a fire on an aircraft carrier, chaos is likely to occur in the entire AUG-ke and as a result they become easy targets for the next strike !!!

And you can offer an original way of incapacitating an aircraft carrier altogether - you just need to fill the deck with some hard-to-clean, sticky and hardening muck ... They are there to get clean it! And it will fall into all the cracks and freeze there - following a heap of equipment down the drain, and disruption of the entire ship ...

"It remains a mystery why the Argentine command missed the opportunity to strike at the Hermes. If they succeeded, the British would collapse. Knowing this, we fought a war on the edge of a knife. I understood that there was only one accident - a mine, explosion or fire on any of our two aircraft carriers will almost certainly become fatal to the entire operation. " (Sir Admiral John Woodward, in 1982 commanded TS-317).

But Argentina and Britain were clearly not equal rivals in that war - and if we assume that in the place of Argentina there would be a more impudent and serious opponent?
Another quote in the topic:

Argentinean aviation managed to sink 6 British ships, as well as seriously damage more than 10 ships (including both aircraft carriers, according to Argentinean data). And only by pure chance the number of sunken British ships did not increase. If the Argentine bombs were properly prepared for bombing from very low altitudes, then the British would have lost their Antrim, Plymouth, Argonaut, Broadsword and Glasgow and other ships.

I want to note that we are talking about bombing and not a missile strike - it’s even hard to imagine what the outcome of the Falkland War would be if Argentina had plenty of modern air-to-surface anti-ship missiles at that time ...

[Mhpv]

Quote: Selevc

But Argentina and Britain were clearly not equal rivals in that war

Oh whether:

By the beginning of the Falkland War, Argentina was superior to the enemy in aircraft (7: 1) and in the number of ground forces (1,5: 1).

Quote: Selevc

I want to note that we are talking about bombing and not a missile strike

Again not got there:

On May 4, 1982, two Argentine Super-Etandaras attacked British destroyers Plymouth and Sheffield with Exoset AM38 anti-ship cruise missiles from a distance of 37 km. Having approached the ships, the missiles captured targets and continued their flight in homing mode at a height of 2-3 m above the water. On "Plymouth" missiles were found 40 seconds before approach and managed to put a curtain of dipole reflectors, protecting the ship from defeat. The missiles were found at Sheffield only 4-6 seconds before they hit. One of the missiles pierced the starboard side at a height of 2,4 m from the waterline. Argentine attack aircraft used anti-ship subsonic missiles "Exoset AM38" weighing 735 kg with a warhead weighing 165 kg, which could hit targets at a distance of 70 km.

And again I repeat for YOU

However, if they were in the place of the British AUG squadron, the Argentines would hardly have any light at all. In terms of combat properties, the British aircraft carriers of the Invincible class are significantly inferior to the ships of the Nimitz class. In particular, the Invincible carrier-based aviation consists of only 6 aircraft and 12 helicopters; it does not have the Aegis system.

To summarize the conversation about the means of defeating AUG, I want to say the following. An adversary with such a powerful means of aggression as aircraft carriers is always stronger. In order to stop him, you will need such things as EXPLOSION and SELF-DONATION. The breakthrough of the AUG defense (AUS) is likely to be fraught with heavy losses, if not with the complete extermination of the attackers. To incapacitate, let alone destroy such a military machine, it will require supercompetent strategists, and also a team of sailors and pilots of the highest courage and professionalism. A country that does not have such human potential is unlikely to be helped by any weapon.

And the effectiveness and survivability of their AUG after Japan has never been seriously tested ...

Based on the logic of the AUG-to-England fans, it was just necessary to put their two aircraft carriers near the Falklands and then no Argentine aircraft could break through the powerful AUG air defense ...

What do we actually see - British aircraft carriers were somewhere far away from the islands - because they were simply afraid to be dishonored by the whole world showing their leaky missile defense system !!!

In Ranger (first-generation supercarrier) there were usually ~ 1 / 3 of the aircraft in the hangar bay, most for various maintenance matters ... but when we went up north to the Aleutian islands in early October 1986 we moved as many other aircraft down to the hangar as possible, I think we got nearly 2 / 3 the total inside.

This was because we were in rainy weather (we were running up the Soviet coast in the cloud cover of a typhoon), and it was cold enough ice was forming on some of the aircraft & flight deck.

therefore (well, according to your logic) Russia needs to have exclusively defensive weapons. Cut surface ships, have exclusively submarines, sharpening them only for defense. So?

Question two: if aircraft carriers are so bad and useless, can Americans still instruct their submarines to escort transports? And then God forbid, the breeze will blow on planes

it follows that aggression and conquest are the exclusive domain of the United States and NATO. Russia is hanging out on the side in this matter. So? therefore, offensive weapons are not needed, surface ships are not needed, and the existing submarines are needed exclusively for defense. Isn't that your thought?

and frigates, destroyers and other ships in the AUG will do the job of guarding the convoy worse than NOT in the AUG?

but what, in your understanding, does an offensive naval weapon look like? and how defensive?

Here is Ash, for example - an offensive or defensive weapon?

the capabilities of the submarine fleet (the same Ash) with the dashing enough to cover the northern borders of the Russian Federation from any encroachment. and will do it better than any AUG - boats are ideal for the northern latitudes, while they are very economical

No problem. Will you pay?

ps / there are 115 transports in the Military Sealift Command. you can’t put to each aircraft carrier

Well, for example, an anti-aircraft missile is a defensive one. The cruise missile is offensive. Or do you not know the difference? Or are you leaving the answer again?

Well, I ask you a question, what if everyone cuts surface ships and there are only submarines? you consider aircraft carriers useless, and in the northern latitudes not only aircraft carriers, but any other surface ship suffers (your words).

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

The Military Sealift Command has 115 transports. you can’t put to each aircraft carrier

why to everyone? Are such transports really one by one?

[Santa Fe]

for example, an anti-aircraft missile - defensive. Cruise missile - offensive

And if they are launched from one launcher - is this a ship: defensive or offensive?))

Quote: Delta

I’m asking you a question, what if everyone cuts surface ships

Why cut them? Let them run to the development of the resource.

Several frigates / destroyers will nevertheless have to have - flag demonstration, Prestige, parades, international operations, safety of navigation in dangerous marine areas, etc.

Quote: Delta

yes, boats are best suited for the northern latitudes
at the same time, they are also cheaper than everyone else

Quote: Delta

why to everyone?

and why at all?

[Delta]

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

And if they are launched from one launcher, is this a ship: defensive or offensive?

and I wrote the term "offensive ship" somewhere? or defensive. There are offensive or defensive weapons. Well, it’s you for scrapping surface ships and transferring everyone to submarines. They seem to be able to solve all problems.

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

why wouldn’t the flag show submarines? Well they are not always in military service. Shipping safety again. Not enough for the submarine weapons for this? easily

Quote: SWEET_SIXTEEN

I asked - and if the United States and NATO in the northern latitudes will use exclusively submarines, then what about Russia then?

Hi Ruslan, no, it’s just that spears are being broken here, not understanding that it’s not necessary to unleash the 3rd world war and to drown the entire AUG, it is enough to disable the flight deck. funds needed to destroy an aircraft carrier.

And what are these two comments deleted?

[kirpich]

First, let them try to start from such a bunch.

[Savl]

If a strike group of aircraft is detected on an aircraft carrier in the zone of reaching our borders (I’m sure that sworn friends are deployed here), they have one way to the bottom.

[Ged]

All decent powers have at least one aircraft carrier. Or about to get them. The question is whether Russia alone, albeit modernized, is enough?
For me, to start a line of several TAKR class "Charles de Gaulle", for a start, and then we'll see.

[kirpich]

I don’t even want to argue.

Why the USSR did not build a single battleship

[barbiturate]

A country needs aircraft carriers if only it feels that it is ready to rely not only on a piece of paper on the protection of world trade, if it is economically strong enough to place 2 aviation regiments on a ship and train them, if there are bases and a repair base, if the country is ready to carry an increased the risk of losing planes and pilots, if "probable friends" have many similar ships and have an idea of ​​what these ships can do (not attack the country, but only completely isolate from foreign trade), there is a desire to influence other countries (2 / 3 Earth is water) and a clear understanding of their interests, there is a worthy accompaniment to two trained aviation regiments on a ship and an understanding of what a connection can and what cannot, such as "attack India") There is still a lot, but the main understanding is what and why ... For example, Russia needs to think clearly about who it is and by whom; it should not thoughtlessly build aircraft carriers if it is possible to do with land bases.
An aircraft carrier is a ship with the main weapon by plane, and not super-mega-fortitude, it is unnecessary to invent nonsense, and then to refute this nonsense (it's so easy to giggle))

[Chukcha]

Very interesting information. Thank you.

[Mikola]

I finished reading it, it’s definitely a good article. If the author had also made comparisons with the Russian aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov, as commentators do in the comments, then it would have been possible to provoke a more heated discussion in the comments about the role of aircraft carriers in the Russian fleet and see ways of future modernization of the Admiral Kuznetsov. But not all at once is likely. An analysis of the use of carrier-based aircraft from the world's best aircraft carriers is instructive.

[Pon69]

Link to http://fotovid-2.io.ua/v700fabb623ee1231b66cf31f4a04e0df National Geographer's film about the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan is popular and educational. Even if it’s promoted in an American way.

[aud13]

The Americans, judging by the latest information, are actively working on the problem of deploying drones on aircraft carriers. If they succeed in this topic, then the AUG will receive additional advantages inherent in unmanned vehicles, namely, these vehicles can perform assigned tasks for a long time, at a greater distance from the aircraft carrier. In addition, it will not be such a pity to sacrifice them when performing dangerous missions (after all, there is no pilot on board). In addition, they are much more compact. Based on this, it follows that they will perform some of the tasks of the AUG better and at the lowest cost.
I think that if we are still going to build aircraft carriers, then we need to work in this direction. Even if we do not build aircraft carriers in the near future, we need to create means to counter new “unmanned” threats now.

Quote: Selevc

And you can offer an original way of incapacitating an aircraft carrier altogether - you just need to fill the deck with some hard-to-clean, sticky and hardening muck ... They are there to get clean it! And it will fall into all the cracks and freeze there - following a heap of equipment down the drain, and disruption of the entire ship ...

And, it can be even more original. Place fishing nets along the route of the AUG. As a result, all the ships of the formation are wound on the propeller (excuse the pun) and lose speed and turn into a stationary target. Approach and shoot. And, if there is still rough seas at this time, then it’s generally a holiday.

Sorry for the banter, I couldn’t resist reading it.

[RONIN-HS]

RONIN - to all forum members.
90% of intelligence information intelligence services now download from open sources. This comment thread is a good example. Although, all the information posted here has long been obtained by these special services without our help. But we won’t give any hints about the future.
So. Everyone needs to remember one axiom - "...In a dispute, fire is armor, fire always wins!" Therefore, means of defense (including AUG) will always lag behind the enemy’s means of fire destruction. This “dance of death” is eternal, and will continue as long as there are wars. So the debate - can the AUG be hit or not - is pointless... since in a clash ANY FACTOR can play a decisive role (fatal for one side). It’s impossible to take everything into account, especially when predicting a battle.
Second. To combat AUG (AUS) it is realistic to use asymmetrical response.This means that work is already underway and there are interesting options. Everyone understands that it is impossible to quickly create 15-16 AUGs, much less train a SCHOOL for naval aviation pilots in Russia today. But if it is impossible to create, then it is quite possible to sink competitors. The bad thing is simple, as they say... And there is no need to lament that a missile cruiser can only use a dozen or two missiles, and the AUG is guaranteed to shoot them down. And if a HUNDRED MISSILES are fired at the AUG! Will the AUG dodge or not..? They are guaranteed to be a star..!
The third. The new world hegemon (USA and England) are sea powers. And one more circumstance - the global global economy is, first of all, hundreds of millions of tons of maritime cargo flows. The raw materials and workshops of the “golden billion” (according to the plan of the world government) are located on OTHER CONTINENTS..! And all these masses of cargo and troops need to be REALLY rolled from continent to continent. This is not to pump terabytes over the Internet!
This is where the Achilles heel is our opponents. And in order to bring down the client, they are working on this... I think that the current rulers will also have adequate people with the instinct of self-preservation... We'll wait and see.
And the last. There are no outdated or useless weapons. There is often inability to use weapons and cowardice of warriors or commanders. The penalty is defeat and death. We must remember - the submissive will die, and the rest will die! So let's not throw away the bones of our skeletons ahead of time...
