If you get to California on the west coast of the U.S. in San Diego there is the USS Midway. It was commissioned in 1945 and retired in1992 after 47 years of service. It was used during Vietnam war and in the Persian Gulf as part of Desert Storm. The cool thing is that it is now a museum that you can tour. The price of admission includes a self-guided audio tour. There are also lots of of older military aircraft you can view. Pretty fun way to spend a day!

Although assigned a 'shore duty' posting with VA-128 in the early 1990s, an A-6 Intruder maintanence squadron, I did two short deployments aboard Nimitz class ships as we also trained new pilots and bombardier-navigators on the A-6.

In warmer waters, the temperature drops dramatically after a certain depth. This is called the thermocline or thermal layer, and it has dramatic effects on sonar. Modern submarines can and have used this to their advantage to sneak up on surface units. In fact, in a 2005 war game, combined with its super quiet engine, Swedish diesel sub was able to use the thermal layer to sneak up and sink the USS Ronald Reagan. Which is where the helicopters come in. The helicopters are equipped with special dipping sonars which it uses to extend and detect submarines past the thermal layer.

As for the decommissioned carriers, yes, the original crew is in voted if they are still alive. The navy have a name for them. They are called plankowners ( its an old term. In the wood navy. they would give the first crew members a plank from the ship to remember the ship by) they still do today. The Nimitz carriers have 5000 crew without airwings.

@TAG77 6 месяцев назад

Knots is an old marine way of measuring speed where the old British captains would drop a knotted rope in the water and time how much rope would be unwound in the drag of the water. After a minute or less. They’d pull up the rope and measure how many knots were dragged down in the water on the rope. Today it’s different. So I couldn’t tell you how many mph compared to knots, but I’ve been on a carrier when I was in the army. It’s a city within itself. There’s some vids about a carrier being a city on RU-vid.

@deancollins1371 6 месяцев назад

Knots per hour is also nautical miles per hour. He said that the carrier is capable of 30 knots per hour. That's about 34 1/2 mph.

@RogCBrand 6 месяцев назад

A Knot is approximately 1.15 MPH. A Nautical Mile comes from taking the distance of 1 minute of latitude- so you divide the ~24,900 mile circumference of the Earth my 360 degrees, you get you get ~69 miles per degree. Divide that into 60 minutes and you get ~1.15 miles per minute and that became the Nautical Mile, which eased calculations for old time navigators. I do wonder what the actual top speed of our carriers is- with that much power, without the worry of burning up limited fuel, I'm assuming it's somewhat more, but they'd want to keep that secret.

@SwarmerGaming 6 месяцев назад

@@RogCBrandthey are nuclear powered. Their fuel is almost limitless haha. They stay at sea for 6-12 months at a time, longer when they receive food and other supplies at sea. Taking food out of the equation they can run for over 50 years at sea without requiring to dock.

Just an FYI it would be extremely difficult to house all the people who ever served on that ship. 5,000 plus people minimum with people rotating every year for 50 years. It's a maximum of 250,000 people, more likely it's 100-150,000 people.

@C-709 6 месяцев назад

The F-35 is smoother because it's a stealth fighter, and it's designed that way to reduce it's radar signature so that it won't be spotted as easily. Edit: Also, I should mention that the Osprey is neither a helicopter nor plane, rather it's a VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) so that it can still fly at higher speeds than normal helicopters, and land in most of the same areas as helicopters as well. Edit 2: Something I thought about after commenting this, is that I just wanted to let you know that the UK has a very impressive navy as well. It's not as large as the US Navy, but it is impressive nonetheless. I suggest looking up the HMS Queen Elizabeth.

@martymahem236 6 месяцев назад

1 knot = 1.15078 mph. The aircraft with the rotors that were pointed up in the air as it took off is an airplane that can take off and land like a helicopter. The rotors move down once it's airborne and the craft flies as an airplane, and then point skyward when they want to land, like a helicopter.

@richardbusta8899 6 месяцев назад

They don't point up wards to land that would slam it into the ground. They point down ward and lower thrust to softly land. Remember gravity it always wants to slam into the ground it only points upwards if in mid flight to pull of mid flight maneuvers.

From what I heard there’s actually a total of 11 aircraft carrier all together. 10 that are on duty all the time with the eleventh in reserve. If one needs to go in for regular service, modernized, refitted or repaired there won’t be less than ten aircraft carriers on the water at all times just in case. I’ve also heard lately that the navy is thinking of upping eleven to twelve possibly.

@DOHCCordia 6 месяцев назад

11 total main line carriers. This doesn't count landing ships that carry fighter jets or helicopter carriers. So the actual number of aircraft carrying ships is larger. However really only about a 3rd are available in peace time. With a 3rd going through maintenance, a 3rd getting ready to go through maintenance and the other 3rd already forward deployed to forward bases or out at sea.

@virgilcain6139 6 месяцев назад

The F35 fighter jets are "smooth" since the plane has minimal right angles so the enemy's radar wave would deflect off the plane. Radar waves bounce off right angles when the wave returns to the enemy's radar. The weapons of the fighter are covered up in compartments with doors. These compartments are also not at 90 degree angles, thus deflecting enemy radar waves. This radar deflection makes the fighter jet "stealth."

Most carriers weigh over 100,000 tons. The carrier is able to float on water bc the bottom of the ship, the hull, is designed to displace a large amount of water. The volume of water that the ship displaces weighs more than the weight of the entire ship herself.

The Osprey is a helicopter AND an airplane. It can function either way depending on where the rotor blades are. In front, and it's a plane, on top and it's a helicopter. You could see in the video that it took off like a helicopter, and once they were in the air the pilot began rotating the rotor blades from the top to the front so he can fly it like a plane.

How does it float? It weighs what it displaces, but the hull volume is *greater* than it's actual displaced mass, thus, it floats. The actual volume of the hull, if full of seawater, would weigh MUCH more than the displaced volume. A Knot, or Nautical Mile, is 6000 feet, as opposed to the 5280-odd feet in a Statute (land), or about 15% longer. Roughly speaking, one 'knot' is 1.15 mile per hour or nearly 2 kilometers per hour. Nautical miles are much easier to calculate when navigating, thus the different value.

They realistically could do their jobs for another 50 years with little to no problems.
