imo if need too , they can build it as fast as during ww2. keep in mind ww2 carrier was build to be number and last for a few fight only. current carrer was build to last for 50years, so they take their time. ww2 carrer only need to be able to flat, move and carry planes til it sink or war end, so they bypass many safety issue cause it war time.
@@yia01 - where are the ship yards to build them fast, 90% were closed - where the electric generational capacity, we had less than 20 years ago, they cant even replace the missiles systems we sent to ukraine in less then 7 years and that is the pentagons and manufacturers figure - 20 years to design and build this thing and I believe they will lose it in the current war.
@@RobertMillerJustmeIn peacetime, defense expenditures are seen as sensational & abominable wastes of money. An ignorant mainstream media gets a cheap sensationalist 15 second story to tell; reporting on waste, delays, corruption, & the unavoidable technology hiccups & initial failures that inevitably go along with bleeding-edge technology promises...that at least the US Military-Industrial Complex seems to be quite able to solve & subsequently overcome before TOO long. Unlike say, their trash-talking fascist adversaries who just jail their independent media for pointing that their own advanced technology either doesn't work (& never will🤣🤣🤣) or doesn't exist (like Nikita Khrushchev's fleet of supersonic long-range nuclear bombers. Anyone remember that?). Now the clouds of war gather all around us, in plain sight of a world with its head firmly jammed up its ass, a day late & a dollar short AS USUAL & OF COURSE, still reeling from the after-effects of the Kung Flu global Pandemic, the realization of the limitations & shortcomings of the "Just In Time" & Neo-Conjob Neo-Fiberal "globally integrated economy", & even the repercussions of the 2008 financial crisis, the Crime of the Century where we were all conned & swindled into bailing out the rich criminals who created it because they were deemed (by themselves!👹) to be "too big to fail", & with the handouts & WHOREpoRATe welfare that our governments continue to dole out to them in ever-increasing amounts, now therefore continue to hold the global real-estate market hostage with unaffordable prices & and the resulting economic dislocation that has only served to greatly widen the gap between the rich & the poor... Given how Western Democracy has for the last 40 years done nothing but lie to us about the evils of Unions, Socialism,(you can see how it's ruining those 💩🕳️ countries in Scandinavia, Canada, Germany, Israel, etc.🤨) & "excessive regulation"; & then subsequently destroy the middle class & send working people on a chase to win the "Race To The Bottom", mostly by ignorantly transferring wealth to the very tyrants like Xi Jen Peng who planned on using that wealth to build up their own military capabilities in order to destroy us, you can kind of see why the average slob can't tell who's a dangerous criminal & who isn't, & acts like he hardly cares if Iran or North Korea or "Communist" China or the Orcs of RuZzia take over the world. I mean, will the average slob actually be any worse off than we are under the current epic mismanagement & criminality of our "democratic" economic & political elites? Of course he will! But WTF do we have Leaders that even have to make us think about that???😡 Even for a moment!!!🤬 The GREEEEDHEAD "Free Market" speculators who just couldn't wait to stampede into financing & building Lenin's rope factory are finally having their moment... Gob help us all!!!🤦
If it just worked out of the gate there wouldn't be much of anything new or different. The first of anything, especially something as complex as an aircraft carrier class, can be expected to have problems. Once solved though production of future ships of the same class can be streamlined as the Nimitz class is retired. Prototypes are typically vastly more expensive than the final product, doesn't really matter what you're making. The cost and time needed to get it right pays for itself over time many times over.
Thanx for pointing this out. This ship specifically and the f35s often get heavily criticized for having, like you said, common issues in the early production years of any product. especially a highly advanced weapon of war. Also you have to learn how to use the product you created correctly. The best technique to utilize its full potential and this takes time. F35s are nuts and they are just infants. When they meet their potential they are just going to be scary.
When 1st proposed CVN78 had a cost estimate of 19 B $ with R&D included. WoW I thought. But after I learned of the EMALS and linear motor elevators it made sense. It got some bad press. Even Trump knocked on a visit and asked the crew wether EMALS or steam Cats were better. That was inappropriate for 45 to question anything in public and the crew. But eventually they resolved the new tech issues as usual. So the rest of the Ford Class will get similar builds. But also bear in mind improvements will be made as running changes to current builds as they were to Nimitz class. The ammount of design difference from Nimitz class is Hugh. Naval engineers strive to ensue that the 1st in a class of new ships and in particular carriers have as little as possible hiccups. Doesn't always work that way though. Good job anyway I'd say.
@@donnthesovereigncitizen1577 Jury's still out on PRCs new carrier. It'd not fully fitted out yet and has to do sea trials. Crewing and operation will be a hard learning curve also. I'd like to see what it is capable of and can do. One thing with the PRC, they won't admit to any problems. The USA I'd very open with some things to a varying degree. So you think the PRC will report any issues if there are any issues? I don't think so. 4:45
It makes sense that the Navy isn't excessively celebrating the Ford's operational status. What if something goes wrong again after they declare it fully operational? Imagine how bad the press would be.
Let's not forget a couple of small things. Enterprise is ahead of schedule! John F Kennedy is ahead of schedule. Even Dorie Miller is ahead of the production timeline.
It is not uncommon that the 1st ship of this class to be this way. 2nd and 3rd Ford class will come quicker and cheaper. The bugs are worked out in the lead ship.
Yeah... funny how they're shit-talking a ship that is literally cutting-edge technology that has gone through multiple explosive tests, while the Chinese carriers are literally falling apart while they're floating in dock.
So you're going to opt out of the 13 billion-dollar supercarrier? How many jets you think you can fit on a dinghy? I'm assuming you want it equipped with next gen laser technology?! 🎉🎉🎉
I didn't serve on the Enterprise but I got to walk her decks for three hours after she came back for the last time. Even for her age that's quite an impressive ship.
US Navy now needs 4500 trained & qualified sailors to operate this beast! Nuclear carrier with the most advanced radar, sonar, & airplanes in the Navy.
Don’t worry, merika’s military is putting a wokey chokey plan into place, they already wrote out a new declaration for bringing In lots of pick and blue hairs and men who think they are women.
It was commissioned in July 2017, achieved IOC in December 2021, and was first deployed in October 2022. What does “is finally ready” mean in June 2023?
I think we should’ve listened more to our grandparents, the greatest generation, and perhaps have learned how to create new weapons in times of weeks+months, and not in years+decades…sorry grandpa
The Zumwalt class destroyers were punted to be the Navy's game changer. Now the project's been cancelled. US design and engineering at the _bleeding edge_ !!
Not so easily done with it's accompanying protection vessles of subs and surface war ships and it's own aircraft. An aircraft carrier has the unque capability of force projection anywhere around the world. No other platform can do that.
@@denisdegamon8224people say that but it's pure delusion, sure you can go anywhere in the world and bully Iraq, Libya ect but when you actually wanna fight a war, good luck trying to bully and fight Russia or China with an aircraft carrier. I'm not saying these ships are useless but very overrated, just like the battleship in ww2
@@mrwhips3623the battle ship was done by ww2. But still had its uses. As an anti aircraft platform it was great. Still could be used for shore bombardment. Non were sunk in conflict.
@@LSmoney215 That's exactly why it needed to be kept updated just like they've done for the F-15, 16, and 18. Updated aircraft are much easier to maintain.
When missiles start taking these carriers out and they are relegated to the secondary role of battleships, who answers to that spending mistake? Seems cheaper to just relocate Taiwan to Texas than to build all these. Another thought- let Taiwan build them themselves.
Because the US government is arrogant and thinks they own the oceans. I'm also American, but if I could I would cancel my citizenship and apply for the country I've been living in for the past fifteen years. The only thing I really miss about the US is the geography.
The United States has fully capable hypersonic propulsion. However, this technology like many other American technologies has been down played or publicly denied due national strategic policies. In other words,... play dumb.
"The U.S. Navy says it will name an aircraft carrier after Doris "Dorie" Miller, the African American mess attendant who heroically leapt into combat during the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It marks the first time that an aircraft carrier has been named for an African American, and the first time a sailor has been so honored for actions taken as an enlisted man."
Oh my God y'all need to stop listening to one side or the other and listen to both so you know they're actually trying to brainwash y'all yes Trump was the one who pushed that withdraw but Biden's bulshit too fast withdraw from the area ended up leaving billions of dollars worth of equipment there unnecessarily stop listening to the mainstream media Fox News and CNN are both just as corrupt as the other and they're controlled by the same people stop listening to them they want us to fight with each other so we don't see what they're really doing start thinking for yourselves for once people
Okay, enough! The United states navy carrier battle group is the mightiest force on the planet. Good luck trying to get close and threaten a carrier task group. Between the airborne radar, combat air patrol(CAP), the multiple guided missile destroyers and cruisers, the super silent attack submarines it's damn near impossible for anyone to get close to the carrier. Meanwhile she's launching f/a 18 Super Hornets and f35 stealth fighters constantly in order to blow your asses off the planet. Yeah, good luck with that..
I'm not arrogant. If it floats it can sink or be sunk. However most of us just comment without thought or substance. Who know for sure? It sure isn't a RU-vid commenter!
@@mooglemy3813 How much do you know about the United states navy? Yes ships can be sunk. I want you to think about the makeup of the current us navel carrier battle group. The super carrier itself, its escorting ships (Arleigh Burke class destroyers are big cans of whup ass), stealthy quiet attack submarines, radar capability out to 3,4 hundred miles. F/A 18 Growlers with superior electronic jamming capabilities. And of course the super Hornets that will kill you long before you even get close to the carrier. We perfected it in WW2 and it is obvious. No one country has the ability to stand up to the United states navy.
@@user-ko7dt1bp1q I wonder if your wonderful military will have enough ammo to take on Russia, China and Iran, collectively. 🤔😉. It's pretty silly of you to say how 'whup ass' tough your military is when you've had to run away after taking on camel jockeys, VC farmers and Afghan shepherds. You've become a bunch of has-beens, live with it!
The day of the aircraft carrier is well and truly over. Kinda dumb to spend money on stuff like this when the Russians are pumping out Poseidon torpedoes and hypersonic missiles. But hey, nice cash cow money grabber for the MIC. 🤑
One Zircon hypersonic hit and it’s out of commission. A Russia Project 22350 frigate (3 in service and more under construction) can carry upwards of 64 of those. The day of the big carrier (or any large surface boat for that matter) is over.
Bullshit, they overadvertised hypersonics look ant kindzals al least 83% shot down by missile defence. Carriers are fast and in constant movement and hypersonics are too fast to change course well into the flight only small corrections can be made, first launch has to be perfect. And i bet 1 wont destroy such a well designed ship. Maybe a few. Obvious russian propaganda
Hypersonics are only fast in the upper atmosphere and slow down to regular missile speed before collision with a target and Russian hypersonic missiles aren’t even true hypersonics.
and it will never even make it to the fight, hypersonic missile's seem to be unstoppable, your pentagon even admitted to having no means to stop them currently. still an amazing carrier though!
@@Sandhill1988 lol empire of terrorist. Getting screwd by your gov and still proud of it. How's your exchange rate now huh? Did you check how much bonus did some people made for approving a vessel? 😉
@@Sandhill1988 hypersonic appears to win every time, your pentagon even admitted to having no current means to stop them look it up, carrier don't make it to the fight sorry
Reminds me of all the huge battleships they built between the wars, only to find out they were obsolete by WW2. There are too many threats and we relay on these platforms too much to power project...... and we can't afford to keep them operational. US national debt 32T and counting. Debt to GDP 121%.
