The US Navy has postponed the adoption of the newest aircraft carrier because of the problems identified during its operation.

American Command fleet postponed the adoption of the latest aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), due to problems arising from take-off and landing of deck aircraft, as well as due to malfunctions "in the ship’s self-defense and weapons delivery systems," the director’s report says US Department of Defense Michael Gilmore’s operational testing.

“If these problems are not resolved, they will significantly limit the ability of CVN-78 to conduct combat operations,” the report says. RIA News.

According to Gilmore, "the aircraft carrier landing system will have to be changed."

The next attempt to transfer the aircraft carrier to the naval forces should take place early next year.

The agency’s reference: “The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier, worth about 13 billion dollars, is considered the most expensive warship in the world. Its construction began in the 2009 year, by September 2014, the ship was supposed to be ready. Subsequently, this period was postponed to 2016 year. "

Not everything is so simple, everyone has problems putting into operation the latest systems, especially the latest ships, and for this various tests are carried out, and we and they have acceptance and verification of technical characteristics, remember what problems were when accepting our first nuclear submarines, and here is the ship:

Displacement Approximately 98 tons gross
Length 337 m maximum
Width 41 m at the waterline
78 m the largest
Engines 2 nuclear reactors Bechtel A1B
Mover 4
Travel speed Over 30 knots maximum
Cruising range Unlimited
Autonomy of navigation 100 days on provisions,
30 days for aviation fuel,
20 - 25 years in the reactor core
Crew 4,660 l / s

Finish, solve problems.

And what is the actual news? In our country, as in all other fleets of the world, when the State Commission receives from the factory to the fleet, the whole lists of deficiencies are revealed on new ships. And amers have a WHOLE new Aircraft Carrier-a huge, complex ship! No wonder there are flaws. It’s time for us ourselves to engage in staging combat duty of similar aircraft-bearing nuclear power engineers. And not thirteen nonsense.

[Orionvit]

They are in trouble now. And with the fleet, and with the army, they have not flown into space for a long time. Previously, they were riveting aircraft carriers like lawn mowers, they have vast experience, but now it's already problematic to pass one. Recall the sad unfinished F-35. It is noticeable that the technological superiority of the USA is coming to an end, America is blown away.

Nothing good. Similar nuclear carriers in the AUG are a powerful striking force, especially in the far sea zone.

The range of carrier-based aviation is 500 km., So in the far sea zone, there’s no sense in them, is it possible to bomb Aboriginal people on banana islands. But Russia is not stupid Arabs, and the states know that if in the event of a conflict, the aircraft carrier approaches the coast of Russia at a range of carrier-based aircraft, it will immediately be sent to the bottom. They will bring it to condition for a very long time, you can clearly see how the technological base itself begins to crumble in the states.

Actually, it’s up to 1200 km, and they will shoot from under the radio horizon for target designation from aircraft of the AWACS of an Aircraft Carrier.
Teach materiel, dear.
We do not have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers right now, which is why our media has an idiotic opinion that Americans are stupid, throwing billions of dollars into ocean-free target barges for our caliber yachts.
At the same time, R&D is in full swing and the infrastructure is being built at our shipyards for the construction of similar ships. Indeed, in the Russian Navy, unlike the layman, they perfectly understand that an atomic carrier is a pass to the world's oceans. Where are the world cargo transportation for colossal sums of money in peacetime, but you should not talk about the military. Something like that.

In our case, an aircraft carrier formation is the defense of the strategic missile carrier deployment regions.
Therefore, we will have them well if 2, maximum 4: SF and Pacific Fleet.
F / A-18E combat radius: 726 km. Aiming range of AWACS aircraft - 400km. The laws of physics.
500 km range of carrier-based aviation is not such a mistake.

This aircraft carrier is the leading one in the series, and it is not surprising that problems emerged. With us, too, the lead ships and submarines are not going smoothly, for the sake of justice I must say.
Another question is whether mattresses will be able to eliminate the problem, or whether this problem is "inoperable." And if the problem turns out to be unsolvable, then it will be transferred to all ships of this series, significantly reducing the capabilities of new aircraft carriers.

Remembered. There were problems with the deck on the Vikramaditya. According to the renovation project, the coating had to be one. However, the Indian side insisted that the coating be of Western production. At Sevmash, they noticed that such a coating will fly off in pieces during flights. But the Indians stood their ground, claiming that the Russians did not always understand a lot about modern technology. Then ours insisted on signing documents that all responsibility for covering the deck rests with the Indian side and that all alterations will be carried out at Indian expense.
"Vikramaditya" went out to sea. After the very first flights, the deck covering began to fly off in pieces, as predicted by the Sevmash. Ours immediately showed their Indian friends their signatures and reminded the bank details of Sevmash. India paid again. And the Russian deck covering serves well, although it is not a triumph of Western technologies.
By the way, Russian asbestos protection on boilers also serves. But it was set eco-friendly Chinese brick. And also before the first exit to the sea

There are problems that cannot be solved with any money. And if this is such a problem, then this is a completely different story. And even if it is solved, as you say by turning on the machine, believe me, even in this case it’s not a fact that after eliminating this problem, Some other sore will come out. Besides, you cannot buy time for any money, and solving and fixing problems and shortcomings needs more time than money. Although financing is undeniably important.

One or two hits ??? I think this will be completely not enough. This is if only the P-1000 is driven in ... which is difficult. AUG will not allow our flagships to approach the distance of a massive salvo. And calibers for this will not work for a number of tactical reasons. In addition, network-centric air defense AUG in real life for calibers can be difficult to achieve. No one even tested on a stimulator! Russian Air Force attack aircraft and fighters will be effective in coastal waters; in the future, our naval formations risk becoming collective targets, and this is not a joke.
We need aviation in the further marine zone. Moreover, its full range.

Don't talk nonsense. The United States cannot print money "as much as necessary." The laws of economics have not yet been canceled. Subscribing is another matter. Therefore, the value of the dollar is steadily decreasing. And they print just as much as around the world (and to us, including) they can sell their "securities", which causes the growth of the US debt.

And did anyone bother to inquire about what problem the whole fuss is about? Scrolling through the comments, I found such a question in one person. ONE!
And the thing here most likely concerns the catapults, which are electromagnetic and which are designed to replace standard steam
Maybe their characteristics do not coincide, time may increase (after all, testing one on land and realizing iron on a specific ship is another), maybe peak loads during launches give some kind of malfunction on other equipment, maybe because of these or any other problems connected with catapults, the logistics of take-off and landing production was disrupted ...
There are plenty of options. That's probably the catch. And here the question is more likely just of a technical nature, rather than political or financial ...
