In the US, the laying ceremony of the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy

56
22 August at the shipyard Newport News Shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries, located in Newport News (USA, Va.) Held a solemn laying ceremony of the atomic carrier CVN 79 John F. Kennedy, which will be built for the US Navy, reports blog Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies.



The "godmother" of the ship became the daughter of American President John F. Kennedy, who is currently the US ambassador to Japan. It should be noted that in May 1967, X-NUMX-year-old Carolyn Kennedy already acted as a godmother during the baptism ceremony of the 9 CV aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy, also named after her father, who was written off in 67.

“The actual construction of the new CVN 79 John F. Kennedy aircraft carrier was launched at Newport News Shipbuilding in December 2010, and the first steel cutting ceremony took place on February 25, 2011. The delivery of the US Navy aircraft carrier is scheduled for 2022. It is expected that the ship will be replaced as part of the American fleet Nuclear Aircraft Carrier CVN 68 Nimitz ”, - noted in the material.

The company Huntington Ingalls Industries and the US Department of Defense signed a contract for the creation of working drawings and preparations for the construction of this ship 15 in January 2009 of the year, and 5 in June 2015 of the year - for the construction of an aircraft carrier. The total cost of the work is estimated 11.35 billion dollars.

      But in order to send THIS to the bottom, it would take a regiment, and preferably two Tu-22 regiments.
      But the idea itself is worth considering:

          Of course a little expensive. And when you consider that now we have only 40 Tu-22, and they have 11 AUGs.
          By the way. I do not quite understand why 2 regiments of interceptors: both the 31st and 27th? (usually they say only about the regiment of the 27th).
          In short, whatever one may say, this whole theory will remain the theory. If they trample their AUGs, then there is one way out:

        26 August 2015 18: 33
        Let me disagree with you. The AG flagship needs ONE (!) Hit of an enemy projectile in any of the 34 vital nodes and it turns into a large-sized target, which is more difficult to miss than to hit. The Tu-22M3 is an ideal "aircraft carrier killer", because it attacks from distances inaccessible to carrier-based aircraft and air defense support, and its weapons are not intercepted by modern means (excluding ours).

          26 August 2015 19: 39
          Nobody will calculate the tactical standard based on the "golden" hit, ie. the same 70-100 anti-ship missiles in the usual load, the AV is disabled when hit by 8-10 anti-ship missiles with a conventional warhead or 1 with a subwoofer. Those. the outfit forces remain the same — 130-135 aircraft.
          This is a major target with an operating speed of 25 knots, with a long-range air defense border of 100-150 km to 700-1400 km.

      The carcasses with missiles need to fly closer from the beginning closer to the aircraft carrier, and given that part of the aircraft carrier wing aircraft will be constantly in the air, the approach will be extremely problematic, in short, all carcasses will become 100 percent suicides.

        Already before there was a dispute, I will quote now, refute if you can model the situation:
        Having received the exact coordinates of the AUG, Tu22M from the ZGRLS Volna, he rushed to intercept the AUG at a speed of 2 km / h, they found it at a distance of 300 km (this is an outstanding achievement, given that the Hokai AWACS aircraft provides maximum target detection at a distance of about 800 km ( aircraft) and 540 km (cruise missiles)). Tu-258M was at a distance of 22 km, speed 800 km / h, well, we give a head start, we think that Hornet does not need time to climb into the cockpit, start by taxiing to catapults, climb to a height with discharge, accelerate to its maximum of 2 km / h ... We believe that at a distance of 300 km both fly at each other at maximum (however, you can even calculate the speed for the time equal to the distance), our couple has X-1915 (TTX, range 800-32 km, 600 -1000 km / h), well, we don’t take the maximum, we take the minimum - 4000 km, I give the little finger to cut off (on the foot) that the Tu-5400M will fly (from 600 km) 22 km faster than the Hornet 800 km. RCC left with a gift (up to 200Mt if necessary), then the Tu-600M, not even a kamikaze, quietly has time to leave with impunity, Hornet’s gut is Sidewinder with a range of 1 km, and the farthest of the AMRAAM is up to 22 km.

          In this simulation, they somehow forgot about escort ships that have air defense and missile defense missiles and did not take into account that 10 aircraft will already be in the air - and most importantly, the whole connection will be in full combat readiness - so the curtain will most likely be to our carcasses when they will try to attack the connection.

            To listen to you, so when moving the AUG, the Hornets fly in circles, so you will not get enough fuel. They fly a Hokai AWACS aircraft, it is economical, slow-moving and 540 km wide, it also flies off directly from an aircraft carrier (not from an AUG order), the most Aegis with a Standard-2 missile with a range of 166 km, and the promising Standard-3, which supposedly will be up to 500 km, which is doubtful, but this is not enough, the X-32 will be released per hundred km at least, twice as much as possible to hit the carcass. Tu-22M does not enter the coverage area of ​​either air defense, missile defense, or air wing (which will undoubtedly operate further). Moreover, the Tu-22 may not yet rise high, but rather maximize the curvature of the Earth than further reduce the detection range.

              The successes of our system ZGRLS Volna in the Navy and its air defense-PROSH incarnation "Container" allowed us to see the target at 3000 km with a deviation of meters, which is not advertised, but accordingly this makes it possible to cover the AUG not anti-ship missiles, but a BR with a powerful monoblock , or several BBs weaker in checkered order (where a direct hit is absolutely not required). Previously, this was impossible.

                  In fact, the carcass will be shot before it is simply noticed, there is no talk of any interception, especially since the difference in speed with the Hornet is 400 km / h plus the speed of Messer.

                      Here, Colleague, I understand that I want to use my shelter, but most rely on our armed forces and on our engineers, who have never failed. Weapons of attack will always be more effective than defense, and the first move always gives an advantage, hence our Strategic Rocket Forces, as the pinnacle of the means of attack of human civilization, become our main shield. It is called a guaranteed response with unacceptable losses to the enemy. With such a concept, we surpassed them and in order to attack us (and this is their doctrine) they need to defend themselves in the form of missile defense. But for us, again, to guarantee a response, we need to overcome missile defense in the future. Hence our maneuvering blocks and a flat trajectory. From here, our CRs at supersonic with evasion maneuvers, which does not give them response time, jump out of the horizon when there are about 20 km to the target and there is simply no possibility of interception, although in theory Hokai can see 9 km from a height of 300 km, however A radar and an anti-aircraft missile can only be seen at the last moment (our S-300s solve this problem differently), also for guarantee everything is backed up by a nuclear charge. So the Tu-22 became the weapon of attack, and the AOG victim, which must be defended.
                      Now, if we take air defense and missile defense, then their tasks are different, if Standard-3 Aegis should rise into space over 200 km, where the track of ballistic warheads, accordingly, it is sharpened for this, there is no atmosphere there, respectively, tail control does not work, you have to steer jet engines, and the radar looks very far, but above the horizon. Therefore, the Tu-22 and anti-ship missiles cannot in any way be his specialization, and one has to rely only on Hawkeye and short-range air defense. The only place where our water area is threatened by the AUG is the Pacific coast of the Far East, in the same place the ZGRLS Wave was tested as an all-seeing eye, there is a TU-22 with an X-22, there are Antey boats with an anti-ship missile, etc. The ineffectiveness of the use of a BR against the AUG was in lack of coordinate accuracy (satellites could detect during the period when the AUG during this time went to a safe distance from being hit by nuclear weapons), and now, because of the ZGRL, coordinates and course in real time, the BR fly for a couple of minutes, well, five to 3000 km, it is unrealistic to leave during this time, especially since the AUG cannot make sharp evasive maneuvers. I am afraid that the T-22 / x = 32 complex will not be needed, and the question will be decided by the Rubezh missile.

    The USSR, too, was not a pay-boy, with financial policy, however, they lost it, but it’s as in a proverb: who is the first - he is slippers.
    Yes, Antey will sink the AUG, even 2 AUG, but the goals and objectives of these airborne vehicles are completely different: some Papuans drive, other aircraft carriers drown.

    Anyone who thinks that the specified amount is exorbitant, I propose to compare it with the US spending on food stamps for the "poor", on the so-called Food Stamp.
    In the United States, 46 million people are considered poor and receive food stamp e-me-e-me-s-yo! The average cost of the food stamp is $ 134. It’s not difficult to calculate that EVERYONE! a month on foodstamp from the US budget goes 6,134 billion dollars! And almost 74 billion dollars a year! In the seven years that they will build the Kennedy aircraft carrier, they will spend 518 billion dollars or 45 nuclear aircraft carriers such as J. Ford ... to feed the lazy beggars.
    PS: foodstamp is far from the main expense item for social programs in the USA ...

    Two do not want him to drown. Experiencing.

    I also don’t really want him to drown, because for his sinking he will have to sacrifice not a dozen of our planes and the lives of hundreds of our guys ...

    All clear. Moles were wound up in this garden. They do not allow to belittle American military power, so to speak. So guys, this power is not forever, and aircraft carriers are not always. For each suzuki, as they say, there is a bazooka. And do not here about dozens of aircraft and the lives of hundreds of guys - this is not an advertising site for the American army. If necessary, your floating fortresses will rest at the bottom. Now minus at least get out of hand.
