Aircraft carrier "George Bush"

154
The largest warship in the world. Its construction began in 2003 year and cost 6,5 billion dollars to US taxpayers. I propose to look at one of the most modern American ships - the aircraft carrier "George Bush".

Aircraft carrier "George Bush"




For starters the facts. The exact name of the ship is USS George HW Bush (CVN 77). This is one of the 11 American nuclear aircraft carriers of the Nimitz class. The largest warship in the world. The ship was commissioned by the US Army in 2009. Here are its not full tactical and technical characteristics: displacement - 110 000 tons, long - 332.8 m, has two nuclear reactors, accelerates to 60km / h. The ship transports 90 airplanes, helicopters and fighters, serviced by a crew of 3,200 people. Able to sail up to 20 years without refueling. A sort of modern "Noah's Ark".



This ship contains the latest achievements of the 21 century in the field of shipbuilding. Among them - a new hull design, curved to increase buoyancy; innovative coverage to reduce radar visibility; screws of a certain configuration and much more.



Aircraft class "Nimitz" modular. Each of the modules is assembled separately, delivered and attached to other modules in the final stage of construction.



The control tower is equipped with the most modern means of navigation, satellite communications, powerful radar systems capable of controlling the situation in the air, on water and under water for hundreds of kilometers around. The cabin itself, as well as the entire ship, is covered with a 67mm layer of Kevlar armor.



The cabin and antennas are maximally shifted to the edge of the deck, which made it possible to increase the space for take-off / landing of aircraft.



On the deck of an aircraft carrier dozens of attack aircraft and fighters, including F / A-18 Hornet, F-35C, AV-8B Harrier II:

Ships are preparing for the final layout, led by the aircraft carrier "George Bush" to achieve readiness to perform the tasks:



There are preparations on the deck. Destroyer sailors are preparing the ship to receive fuel:



Landing a helicopter on one of the escort ships:



Sailors on watch during refueling:





Fuel quality check:



In the holds of the aircraft carrier a huge shop with machines and spare parts. You can fix the aircraft carrier itself and any aircraft. By the way, more than 2 500 people are involved in the maintenance of flight crews. Among them are women.



All aircraft are launched from the deck using a catapult. The principle of its operation is very similar to a slingshot: the plane clings to the front landing gear for the accelerating device. The operator sets the mass and the required value of acceleration into the system and it selects the optimal speed or “tension” for the acceleration device.



The aircraft will accelerate the engine and then the start button of the catapult is pressed.



The fighter "shoots into the sky" and then continues its independent flight. With landing, the situation is much more complicated. The pilot needs to hook on the brake hook to the cable, the tension of which increases depending on the weight and speed of the landing ship.



The only exceptions are helicopters and fighters capable of taking off vertically.





Everyone on the ship is busy working. A typical sailor’s day consists of an 12 watch for hours with meals, 4x hours of personal time, and 8 hours of sleep.

To feed more than 5 000 people, the ship crew team works tirelessly around the clock.





In addition to the usual service on the ship, various kinds of training and testing of emergency situations are conducted. During the voyage, sailors learn many specialties and professions in order to replace comrades if necessary. It also test the latest intelligence using unmanned vehicles.



On the ship there is a detachment of rapid response.



Teachings. Search and capture of the "terrorist" who got on board:



The night Watch:



Every sailor on any warship does not want to fight. He dreams of returning home to family and friends.



My personal opinion is this: no country in the world today is able to withstand the military the fleet USA and NATO. If you do not take into account the atomic weapon, the use of which irreversibly leads to the death of both sides of the conflict.

        It would be better if with the help of the sailors they built their summer houses.

        These times are in many respects already in the past, which cannot be said about the Ukrainian army and your "kind of" subtle trolling sounds just ridiculous, go clean the backyard (passage) from the shit, it's done.

        You have driven your country into an economic asshole with your Russophobia and desire for Europe, you don't do a fucking thing, but Russia is to blame for everything. Only before tearing there would you first figure out what it threatens, + and -. Going to the countries of eastern Europe (Poland-Romania-Bulgaria-Hungary, etc.) and chat with the people, find out how they live, how they work. For the worst part, go through the forums, but not the top ones where there is censorship, read what people write there. And after that, turn on the brain instead of the ass and think about your future !!! Search the Internet for what was built in these countries during the USSR and what was built during the European Union, except for shopping centers - fucking hot !!! And you go there !!!

        PS: Interestingly, the "fraternal European Union" will open markets for your products on equal terms with their products? Interestingly, the "fraternal European Union" will give cheap loans without benefits for itself? Interestingly, the "fraternal European Union" will give a discount on gas at a loss for itself? Interestingly, the "fraternal European Union" will invest in industry and defense? I think the answer is obvious, but if you don’t understand this, don’t want to understand, or you understand and think that this is how it should be, then good luck, my dear Ukrainian friend.

And given that Ukraine will be at the end of the line, it’s unlikely that they will break off any work in Europe. the next 20 years does not shine, the Germans and the French said about this).

          You rightly say dude, such praises of the US army and the "development" of the EU, to whom you are writing, do not understand that this power is just made to enslave foreign peoples, turn their countries into chaos and devastation, the population into poverty, plunging into local wars, for at the expense of their devastation to suck out all the resources of the country, like mosquitoes human blood and live off them. One involuntarily recalls a plot from the film "War of the Worlds" with Tom Cruise in the title role. There, aliens enslaved people, after them there was a scorched and unusable land, but in reality this is what the United States does.

          These AUGs and feeding 3200 people. in peacetime on an aircraft carrier alone do you think (referring to the USA praisers) at the expense of the American taxpayer is happening? their whole army? at the expense of their economy is supplied?

          Нет!

          They simply print their dollars, the amount of which no one controls, pay for oil and gas with "candy wrappers", give loans to countries with high interest rates and repay debts with real natural resources, which is what they live on.

          Yes, this whole army is fed to conquer! why spend billions on the army in peacetime? So that the US has "free" gasoline, cheap clothing and food.

          Praisers may object, but why do other countries say they themselves are not developing? and they will offer an answer - the leadership of their country is mired in corruption, it steals and the people are lazy and stupid. Themselves to blame! What is stopping them?

          Нет!

          It hinders and the whole life will be hindered by the USA and the EU. Take a look at the story.

          The entire history of Europe is permeated with colonization, I will not start with Rome, because I think that there was prosperity in their era, just read their achievement in history, but all ancient civilization, Egypt, Greece, were the heirs of the knowledge that possibly existed Anlantida, but when after them came "untrained "barbarians, the era of the fall has come. These people could bring nothing to the World except devastation. All these inquisitions, witch hunts, hereinafter "Great" discoveries, I would call the "Great genocide". Since then, all over 700 years, all the riches of the continents of the Planet Earth went to Europe and America: people-slaves, gold, silk, spices, and so on for a penny and even for free. And this policy is still happening in relation to many weak countries.
          Only the Romans, more precisely Byzantium, came to Russia to enlighten, from them remained written language, names and Orthodoxy. The rest all came to rob. All attacks on Russia went precisely for this purpose. Starting with the Mongols, then Turks, Swedes, Napoleon, and Hitler. Now the US and the EU. They all need Russia's wealth. To do this, they always, throughout history, will bribe the right people, weave plots, destroy the economy through isolation and boycott, make revolutions and even declare war, just as they did. Their destiny is to parasitize.

      Only some of the characteristics are at least surprising: "Invasion materials that reduce radio visibility" is that if, instead of a fool of 330 meters, the target is 300 meters on the artillery radar, will it change something?
      In addition, Americans always significantly overestimate the combat capabilities of their equipment, then they are surprised.

                  All this is stupid chatter. Nothing terrible will happen to them. Moreover, defense spending does not particularly affect the size of public debt. What is 550 billion for defense compared with 900 billion for education or more than 1,5 trillion. on healthcare? Are you aware that they allocate 540 billion from the budget to support the low-income (benefits, food stamps)? Knowing full well that most of this money will work for the shadow economy, including drug trafficking? So if anything destroys their economy, this is a game of socialism.

              So did not understand a parallel? The presence of cheap weapons in the form of a bullet or anti-ship missiles gives absolutely no guarantees for the destruction of the enemy. Will the aircraft carrier allow him to approach the launch distance of the RCC? No, of course, any potential carrier will be destroyed because the aircraft carrier has enough funds for this.

            And why not see anything further than your nose. According to the logic of scientific and technological progress, all the weapons of the world, except nuclear missile, at the moment, only for local limited conflicts. For 3 MV, all this weapon is useless, because Armageddon will come from the use of nuclear weapons with an inevitable end of the world.

            With MV, there will be no hand-to-hand combat techniques, machine guns, guns, planes, tanks, ships. All this is needed for local limited conflicts. But even in local conflicts, no one has canceled the commandments of military art - creating superiority of forces and means in a particular theater of operations.

            Example. What will be more impressive and significant off the coast of Syria - 5 landing barges or 3 AUGs.

            World war, on his right mind, is not expected. But local conflicts around the world will arise and you need to be prepared for them. Best of course, with AUG than without it. Russia, like other leading countries, has global interests. And where these interests intersect, one must have superiority in forces and means.

          You shouldn't be so !! To let such a galosh sink to the bottom is not enough trick, here you have to think about the consequences! For my service, I repeatedly looked at these Ameikos show-offs with their floating airfields, and our crew practiced training launches of missiles and torpedoes on them conditionally !! They are not as cool as they want to seem !! Remember the story of "Tirpitz"

              The AUG has hydroacoustic stations (GAS) for nuclear submarines and surface ships (range 45-60km), towed (up to 100-120km), lowered by helicopter GAS and aircraft radio sonar buoys (RSL) of aircraft and helicopter submarines.
              At the same time, surface ships of the order, due to their own noise, are not shy in using the active GAS mode, in other words, the coordinates of the submarine's location will be known after detection.

          At the beginning of the war, Hitler also had two handsome men, "Tirpitz" and "Bismarck". And the knees of many Europeans trembled just at the mention of them. And as we remember from history, one of the giants was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine, and the other rotted away in the dock, and did not carry out a single military operation significant for Nazi Germany. Rotted, if I'm not mistaken, somewhere in the fjords of Norway. The devil is not so terrible as he is painted!

      Carriers are a weapon of aggression and colonial expansion. Our army is created and tuned to the defense of the country and possible military operations with neighboring states. Why do we need aircraft carriers? Even if we had 3-4 of them cruising off the coast of the United States, this would not have changed anything in the strategic alignment of forces. They do not represent a real threat to a powerful nuclear power, and we do not have overseas territories for the control and intimidation of which they are really suitable. Our fleet needs more strategic and strike submarines.

        Since Russia got a vigorous bomb, the urgent need for a too powerful fleet has disappeared. Yes, it is very necessary, simply necessary, but for defense, aircraft carrier groups are not needed, and to scare the Papuans - and what is now will do. There "Moscow" came to the shores of Georgia, and not a single pie in the sea slipped.

EW funds. at the training ground, this is one thing, but in real combat it’s completely different. and how electronics behaves is not known. The weak spot on the box is ENERGY. here it closes and that's it. the ship is dead. 1-2 missiles in the Aircraft Carrier and all. fires and explosions on the deck.

      That is true. Our current fleet, by the standards of the war with the United States, is a toy fleet. PLACR, which are in operation (4-5) Peter the Great, one active Glory, given that they are all scattered across 2 oceans to several more seas, do NOT pose any threat to the dominance of the U.S. Navy in the World Ocean, and possibly in the Barents and Okhotsk Seas. The most probable exchange is 1-2 AB, 4-5 destroyers / cruisers for 3-4 PLACR at sea, everything that is under repair, Peter the Great, 1164, 3-4 destroyers and 6-7 BOD. After that, we have 2 BODs, a dozen nuclear submarines (no longer PLAKR), and actually the RCA, MPK, BTSSC, DEPL, that is, the direct protection forces of the water area. Interference with the enemy’s naval forces can only be created if an MAO is carried out.
      And in the US Navy with allies - practically the forces will not change (decrease by 10-20%) completely seizing dominance on the seas.

        and indeed ... do not care on AUG!

    The US Navy group, led by the aircraft carrier George Bush, left the Mediterranean Sea, passing through the Suez Canal, the Pentagon reported on March 20.
    Thus, the group moved from the zone of responsibility of the fifth US fleet to the zone of responsibility of the sixth fleet in the Red Sea. The group includes, in addition to the aircraft carrier, the 8th sea-based aviation regiment, a group of destroyers, the Philippine Sea missile cruiser, and the Roosevelt missile destroyer.

        Of course there were no large-scale operations. but there were local battles.

By the way, the United States invaded our waters in the coastal region and shot our dry river at our air base, and air battles at the border repeatedly took place, it was in the early 50s. so there is no experience of direct collisions, and ours have shown themselves to be excellent.

    Aircraft carrier is a good target, big. A pair of Tu - 160 without entering the radar zone will launch a salvo of anti-ship missiles and from the aircraft carrier group a second pearl - harbor will be obtained only in the middle of the ocean.


    And it is not necessary to use airplanes to destroy an aircraft carrier group. There are ground-based systems of destruction of surface targets that can pass the PROK at large distances and their price is not high.


    In Russia, there are none in general (in reality, and not at exhibitions)
    Do not tell me - what happened in Turkestan in this area? laughing

    Carriers are a weapon of aggression and colonial expansion. Our army is created and tuned to the defense of the country and possible military operations with neighboring states. Why do we need aircraft carriers? Even if we had 3-4 of them cruising off the coast of the United States, this would not have changed anything in the strategic alignment of forces. They do not represent a real threat to a powerful nuclear power, and we do not have overseas territories for the control and intimidation of which they are really suitable. Our fleet needs more strategic and strike submarines.

    It seems to me that this opinion is fair, especially since we have the first experience with titanium and a 1000 m dive.

    Well, the author is really kidding...
    Conversations began again - whether we will sink or not, and whether Russia needs an aircraft carrier or not.
    Yesterday they showed a program about the battleship "Paris Commune". The Germans bombed and bombed and hit. But the battleship inflicted significant losses on them (aviation and ground forces).
    Hypothetical situation - war between the USA and Russia.
    An aircraft carrier enters the Black Sea. Airplanes take off and fall within the range of air defense systems located on land. What losses will there be for the American aces, but I think they will be awesome, and the horns and legs that remain from the air wing are the aircraft carriers. Of course, thoughts will begin here that the Americans will begin to destroy air defense, but still.
    And the aircraft carrier remains empty!!!
    Now about whether or not Russia needs an aircraft carrier. Well, we’ll build an aircraft carrier and then send it to scare the Americans??? or even take a swing at SOME BANANA REPUBLIC. DO YOU NOT FUNNY?
    Having such sea borders and not even having enough corvettes and patrol ships.
    In reality, the strategists, as on the eve of the Second World War, believed that the Italian-German fleet would enter the Black Sea and we would drown it in one general battle (we had a trump card - the battleship "Paris Commune")

    Task: Available: aircraft carrier George W. Bush.
    How many John McCains does it take for this trough to sink?

    Johnny grew, his qualifications grew, and his next victim was not only an airplane, but also an entire aircraft carrier for company. The Forrestal on which he served caught fire like a match after a missile salvo that Johnny fired from his plane right on the deck - he was so impatient to engage in battle with the damned "commies".

    As a result of the assault, a dashing admiral's son killed one and a half hundred sailors, hundreds were injured and burns, a lot of aircraft on the deck were destroyed and the aircraft carrier itself was put out of action for a year! McCain himself was immediately evacuated and transferred, away from sin, to another aircraft carrier. Where he soon, during a sortie, to the great relief of the US Navy, was shot down by a Soviet missile, and was out of action for five and a half years.

    If you fire a volley of missiles at the AUG from the sea, air and land, and launch a couple of dozen drones, then the enemy’s ranks will clearly thin out. Some will be shot down, some won't - it's simple. In other words, the devil is not as scary as he is painted. And if there is still an opportunity to shoot from space, that’s great! Let them scare Honduras with these basins, and then we’ll hit them on the nose.

    Carriers, in my understanding, exist for the quick transfer of aircraft to places where there are no airfields.
    But for bombing twice Iraq, Libya - this is an ideal weapon. There are no serious anti-ship and air defense systems.
    But for the war with Russia, China - useless scrap metal, IMHO)


    I think it’s enough to damage it by causing some significant roll, without even completely sinking it,

    It’s interesting what the author does. here is a quote: “The ship carries 90 airplanes, helicopters and fighters, and is served by a crew of 3,200 people.” Then the question is: how many “helicopters” and “fighters”? But that's not all. Then he writes the following:
    “To feed more than 5 people, the ship’s cook team works tirelessly around the clock.”
    Then I have a question again: how many people are there in the team, 3200 or 5000?
    But this is not even the main thing, it’s simply disgusting to read such authors who openly GLORIZE our ENEMIES! My advice to him would have FAILED, just like that sailor about whom he writes here in the “promised SYSHYA” And regarding “George” I will say this: after the collapse of the USSR, the Americans completely lost their fear and began to suffer from GIANTOMANIA! Well, the GOAL is BIG, BIG, it’s unlikely to dodge our torpedoes and missiles! Moreover, I remember the case described in the book by Max Kalashnikov, when the aircraft carrier Syshy, off the coast of Vietnam, suffered so much as a result of a fire that it was barely saved, and only thanks to the presence of other ships nearby...

    The AUG is actually quite a difficult target to destroy. The aircraft carrier itself can protect itself, plus multiple escort ships that will do everything to ensure its survival. I don’t argue with the forum members, the goal is worthy, I would like to organize a new artificial reef 300 meters long for the fish) But in my opinion, at the moment, the destruction of this formation is an extremely difficult matter... without tactical mistakes of the enemy, it is probably not realistic. But everything has its time.

    At the beginning of the war, Hitler also had two handsome men, "Tirpitz" and "Bismarck". And the knees of many Europeans trembled just at the mention of them. And as we remember from history, one of the giants was torpedoed by a Soviet submarine, and the other rotted away in the dock, and did not carry out a single military operation significant for Nazi Germany. Rotted, if I'm not mistaken, somewhere in the fjords of Norway. The devil is not so terrible as he is painted!


    My friend! Let's learn history and mathematics! The Bismarck was sunk by the British - after using deck-based torpedo bombers, they damaged the propeller-rudder group and, it seems, the fuel tanks. Then they finished off with artillery and torpedoes from cruisers! Tirpitz was not docked, but stood in Altenfjord (if I’m not mistaken) and during one of the communications forays she received a torpedo under the propellers from K-21. Afterwards it was damaged by English combat swimmers and finished off by aircraft!
