America went to sea

117
5 November 2013 of the year without much publicity went into the sea on the factory running tests completed by the construction for the US Navy, the universal landing ship (UDC) of a new type of LHA 6 America. The ship was built at the American shipbuilding enterprise Ingalls Shipbuilding Corporation Huntington Ingalls Industries in Pascagoula (Mississippi).

The contract for the construction of LHA 6 America was issued on 1 on June 2007 of the year, the actual construction of the ship in Pascagoula was launched in December on 2008 of the year, and the official bookmark ceremony was made on 17 on July of 2009. UDC was launched on June 4 2012 of the year. The construction is facing delays, including due to the constant changes made to the project, so the ship’s initial deadline (August 2012 of the year) was postponed first to 2013, and now to the 2014 fiscal year. The total cost of the design and construction of the lead ship is 6,8 billion dollars, including 3,4 billion dollars - the actual cost of construction.

31 in May 2012, the corporation Huntington Ingalls Industries won the US Navy contract worth 2,38 billion for the construction of the second LHA 7 Tripoli of the same type, which will also be carried out at the Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula. The official bookmark Tripoli was scheduled for April 2013, but so far it has not taken place. The transfer of the US Navy Tripoli is scheduled for the 2018 fiscal year.

In total, the US Navy plans to build an UDC 11 type LHA 6. A feature of the first ships of the type LHA 6 (Flight 0 series) is the lack of a dock camera, which was available on the two previous types of UDC (Tarawa and Wasp). On the following ships of type America, the dock camera will apparently be restored.

            America lives in unlimited credit from the whole world, "easy" money is easily "assimilated", the Russian Federation lives on its earned money, therefore it is difficult to scam at such amounts ... and I hope someone is ashamed.

              Among the developed countries of the world (and Russia does not apply to developed countries)The USA has no competitors in its industrial development.

              The United States has one of the most highly efficient households in the world. A distinctive feature of their economy is the focus on scientific and technical progress (scientific and technological progress) and advanced technology.

              The USA is a leader in the implementation of the results of scientific and technical progress in production, in the export of licenses for its discoveries, inventions and the latest developments. All this leads to the dependence of other countries on the United States.

              Now you know how the US makes moneyи laughing

Industrial development - is it when all production, except military, is in Asia? The United States simply parasitizes on the almost monopoly position of the dollar in international payments and reserves. Let's see what parameters the States will lead when they lose the opportunity to export their main export product - the dollar laughing

        Weird question . The main full-fledged formation of their Marine Corps is a division, they have, well, at the time it was, also the concept of an expeditionary division, a brigade and a battalion. It is for them that ships are built to raise, deliver and disembark, in full - an expeditionary division at a minimum - an expeditionary battalion, of course with personal belongings. Another thing is surprising - the absence of a docking camera, in fact, a step back, well, when they had the Iwo Jima landing helicopter carriers, which were replaced by the Tarawa UDC. Looks like they saved, since the next full-fledged ones are going to do. Knowing not only our fun to scoff at the construction of the project, as in "Ivan Gren", these can also =============, Construction is facing delays , including due to constant changes made to the project, so the initial date of delivery of the ship (August 2012) was first moved to 2013, and now to the 2014 financial year.

        These are ships for the USMC. Everyone, apparently, will raise a battalion with equipment. In addition, it will perfectly accommodate the F-35, by that time brought to mind. So much for air support and air cover. Optimal. Their death is "in the egg", that is, in the underwater environment. Therefore, they will not walk without cover. Well, but for our plARK better goals and difficult to come up with.

      The mechanism here is very simple, after the 2th MV, they agreed to serve the financial turnover of the whole world with their dollars. Gradually, everything came down to printing simple candy wrappers, which were not provided with anything but words and military force. Well, even if they take 5% for servicing the entire turnover, there are a lot of things you can configure for this. At the expense of uncle, us, you and others like them ...

      And the money is taken from the Fed, the candy wrapper spanks, probably around the clock. And the fact that they increase the debt seems like a drum. Probably hope for a new world war, because it will write everything off. These ghouls are so well arranged (juices from the countries of the planet) through their dollar -fantik, that they do lawlessness! It’s a pity that Russia is still weak, and it does not have groups of loyal partners (like the Warsaw pact).

Yes, there is a desire for debts to be written off, but they still haven’t come up with and provoke the 3rd world so that debts are forgiven by themselves, there is a desire, but there are no opportunities, because yourself will suffer very seriously !!!

    This is actually the first carrier of the KMP! There will be no dock in the project (on the first hulls for sure), landing only in the port or by Osprey helicopters. But there are a lot of F-35 and attack helicopters with large reserves of fuel and weapons (almost 2 times for each airport than in Wosp).

    That is, the ILC selects a bunch of USPP + LHA, and does not replace the USPOUs as previously planned.

The fact that the United States did not have to carry out major landing operations (the capture of the islands of Iraq certainly does not count) does not mean that they are impossible and will not be needed.

          my respect, but using a submersible in a similar way is nonsense. Leave this to fools and disinfectors, although of course, in a pinch, yes, but it is categorically counterproductive.
          A submersible ship will deliver a pantone park with a length of x .... (200 meters of a working platform accommodating ... pantones) to the landing site. A couple of kilometers from the coast and the entire filling of the holds will leave on its own. I remember "Herrrr Professor" posted a Temka about a high-altitude exercise on an unprepared coast and there it all happened.

                      This is a floating base with landing boats and lighters - an important intermediate stage when unloading armored vehicles on the high seas - without transport approaching the shore

                It is better to check out the cartoon of the latest, domestic tailoring.

                And then read this text (after viewing)
                The kind Security Robot silently approached the intruder and hesitated - the old processor could not find the standard greeting program. The search process activated the viruses of ancient civilizations and the irreparable happened - instead of the words "Hello! Who are you?" the machine gun spoke up. The kind Security Robot instantly realized the mistake and took inhuman efforts to prevent the tragedy - as a result, the line went to the floor, ceiling, anywhere but to the alien, who, despite years of peaceful life, deftly dodged the bullets, recognizing the danger in them.
                Meanwhile, the robot managed to jam the machine gun, launch Kaspersky Anti-Virus, and, resuming the search for the hello program, rushed to the stranger to warn him about the fragile walls of the ship’s hull. But something went wrong - a swiftly found alien also swiftly flew along the path set by the Good Security Robot to check the walls' strength personally.
                In a desperate attempt to overcome its own madness, the Robot managed to neatly but confidently grab the intruder by the throat and, canceling the search for an irrelevant program, directly asked its owner the eternal question "What to do?" Agonizing milliseconds of waiting gave no answers. There was only one way out - "Kill!"
                But then something hit the eye. Scrap! The astronaut, brutalized by hospitality, managed to stick in the eye and crank his weapon there twice! Surprised Robot let go of the alien and began to rub his eye. The hero successfully fell near an oblong object vaguely familiar to him - his muddy luster aroused some ancient, barbaric emotions in him. Succumbing to primitive instincts, the astronaut grabbed the object, pointed it at the Robot and, unmistakably feeling the hook with his finger, pulled it. Something rolled inside the subject.
                The rubbing of the eye was a huge success - in addition to seeing the Good Security Robot, the welcome program returned! Delighted with his modest victories, the Robot scanned an alien and .. an irreparable happened. Something rolled out of the trunk.
                Kaspersky found viruses. The explosion struck.

      Amphibious ships of the "America" ​​type are nothing more than a wrap, a camouflage cover for the real "exporters of war" available as part of the Maritime Transportation Command in the amount of 100+ pieces

      Against this, Russia has two nuclear submarines "Akula" with the number of 300 pieces on the sides of the "Granites" Which stand in the way of the convoy and the convoy has two ways out: either to drown or return home ..........
      But this story has no drama, heroically defended itself, at the cost of incredible efforts, we made multiple victims out of trouble.

    recourse While the "peacekeepers" are printing the world currency, they can do anything. It is sad, but it is a fact that we help them arm themselves through the dollar. Che there the BRICS muddied about the withdrawal of the dollar from mutual settlements for oil, and so it got old. The Jews apparently did not want to.

    Even with 20 or even 30 "America" ​​you will not attack Russia - the scale is not the same! Here are the bases around - this is serious ... But the appearance of LHA 6 is quite logical - the aircraft carrier's air strike must be reinforced. 10-11 aircraft carriers - 11 LHA 6. Local conflicts, such as Syria ... Russia with its current fleet will not mind.

      nobody will attack Russia. Forget about it. Where they don’t work with a stick, they try a carrot. Once they succeeded. The USSR did not. The Dulles plan still works. Do not doubt it.

Reduction !! reduction !! And they themselves build for max. While possible. then the dollar will be zeroed, a new currency will be introduced, rebellious blacks will be imprisoned in concentration camps. laughing )) Germans, I’m looking at my little gold already ****))) and you won’t do anything!

    Well, with aircraft carriers it’s understandable, but UDC and in the amount of 11 pieces, in my opinion a real cut, well, let it be 5 but not 11 in a crisis. And why are they needed ??? Who will land such forces, and where and how much.

    The United States is stupidly building up muscles to live in new territories and areas ... at the moment, there is a redivision of the world and all these muscles are evidence of this. Until this happens, nobody will even think of demanding trillions of debt. Of course, Russia cannot buy itself at one point so many ships of this class ... but there is a saying - the larger the cabinet, the louder it falls.

    UDC is an integral part of the Marine Corps. Despite the sequestration of the military budget of the Marines, the cuts were practically not affected.

    In short, the United States, as before, is betting on the Marine Corps. At the UDC are deployed KMP expeditionary forces (reinforced battalion MP + support units).

    unlike the previous UDC, America has a larger hangar and will carry more weapons and fuel. The air group will be larger. In fact, UDC America is a mini-aircraft carrier.

    A large vessel, but it is unclear why the dock chamber was abandoned, I think that this in some way reduces its combat effectiveness as an UDC. As it learns more, a large "Ark Royal" with a landing. In my opinion, a slight rollback. Although the funds may have been cut, they will be added later in the course of modernization. It's good for the company - the profit is in advance.

    and who is talking about simple and kind Americans who chew chisburgers and drink Pepsi-Cola? ... it’s about the policy of the United States as a state and their leadership ... there are applications for the title of superpower from the United States, you won’t deny it? .. .but now, Mr. Abama and his administration cannot sleep well because at this moment in time, only Russia has a nuclear stockpile capable of completely destroying not only America as a state, but also America as a continent ... that's why we don’t like it we are America with its politics, and not its such kind and very peaceful people
