        Why am I, "George Washington" and "Ronald Reagan" are ships of the same class - Nimitz. In Russian it is called X ... to X ... change. Now, if it was replaced by an aircraft carrier of the type "Gerald R. Ford" then yes. But in Russia, the KA-27 helicopter will be replaced by KA-27M helicopters.

      Do we have means of destruction for aircraft carriers that are guaranteed to sink it in a short period of time?

        To the fig. For example P-800 "Onyx" ("Yakhont"). When there was Krymnash, the American ships scampered them as part of the Bastion complex. And the P-700 "Granit" with a nuclear warhead with a capacity of 500 kilotons is generally handsome! A surface explosion of 500 kilotons is enough for tonsils of any aircraft carrier. I think that the American presidents - ships and people, have something to fear.

          The bastion will not get an aircraft carrier. Onyx ships are not. There is no nuclear warhead on Granite (and on any other anti-ship missiles or torpedo) - they themselves refused

      Not electronic warfare, dear, but aiming marks from "Bastion" have not yet been set, so that the operators on the radars of this vessel have a point squeezed and everything else sank into their underpants ...

      The latter is unlikely. It was painful for him to have a negative image and not one of his deeds could be called heroic to be called an aircraft carrier in honor of him. However, it is possible that a target ship will be laid down and launched into the American shipyard for testing new anti-ship missiles. And here, Barak has a chance to get into the history of the American fleet. And very good.

    Two nuclear reactors allow it to reach speeds of up to 30 knots (56 km / h).

        Not quite of course in the subject, but recently the DPRK conducted tests of SLBMs, and judging by the fact that Western news agencies reported only about the fact of the launch, but they "modestly" kept silent about the results, the tests were successful.


        Kim Jong-un happy with start-up smile

        In the background is the submarine with which the launch was made.

    The level of real respect for the state on the globe is still determined by the presence of such aircraft carriers and attached groups (plus airborne assault forces and other cover). No less than nuclear submarines with homing missiles. Rather, even more.

    “In April 1955, Kuznetsov presented a draft report on a ten-year shipbuilding plan in the Central Committee of the CPSU ... N. S. Khrushchev spoke out ... Kuznetsov honestly expressed to Khrushchev his indignation at the irresponsible attitude towards the fleet by Nikita Sergeevich and his entourage.”
    “On February 15, 1956 he was called to the Minister of Defense, and G.K. Zhukov rudely announced a decision to lower him in the military rank (to vice admiral) and dismiss him from the Armed Forces without the right to reinstate.”

      This is how lucky. During World War II, a British aircraft carrier was sunk by one torpedo, but in order to drown the Japanese battleship Yamato, it took 12 torpedoes and two dozen hits of heavy bombs, it remained afloat for another 2 hours and continued to move. It’s enough torpedoes with SBC, enough to gouge thoroughly not only the aircraft carrier, but also its group.
      And why torpedoes, if the rocket flies further and more precisely?

    The Russians laugh at the Americans, yes, they are enemies, but the military people and the designers of the American fleet should be respected. Staying at them is a sign of a narrow-minded mind, the level of Bendera, the essence is the same. They are strong guys, if necessary, they can stand up for themselves. For example, it is known that the American submarine drowned the Kursk submarine and it is very sad that the American commander saw the Russian regiment, but the Russian most likely did not, and the American calmly left for the base. We simply could not find him and make him swim. Often the Russians manage to set fire to their ships and ships for repairs and after that they laugh at the Americans, it's somehow silly. I hope the commanders of the ships and the designer understand this and respect the enemy, otherwise there will be a defeat.
