American infrastructure is wasted on non-military projects because the military is the only place where they are disciplined. The nice train cars of a high speed rail network in the USA would be hideous within days, covered in graffiti, broken windows, urine stains, and gum.
>>80889277
You're right Pierre, Americans don't take the train to work, they take the fighter plane instead. How could I forget?

>>80887758
How do you park a fighter on a carrier? Looks like it would be pretty hard based on how densely packed they are in that pic, not to mention the deck is moving all the time and the choppy waters.
>>80890172

>>80890172

Then, our army boys (we'd send the abos and other mongrel races first) would swoop in, raping your women, and killing EVERY American pig shit they see.

Carriers are useless money sinks meant for nothing more than power-projection.
>>80888310
It's force projection you idiot, not meant to be an invincible weapon of mass destruction.
A carrier is a massive airport and command center that can be moved around so it takes less time for jets to strike. Since the airport needs a city of sailors to support it, that city can be used for other purposes. For example, the engine room has distilling units that can not only create enough potable water to suppy a crew of 6000 to shower, cook with and drink, but also provide that water to vessels that are DIW (civilian or military).
There's also plenty of dining space and empty berthings with empty racks even when the ship is at full strength. You could comfortably bring on a whole shit ton of marines or SEALs if need be and have them dropped off somewhere else months later with enough supplies to keep the fed, showered and have a small personal space to sleep.
Also the medical bay on a ship is top notch. They provide the spaces and personnel needed to perform surgeries and dispense medicine.
The fucking ship is so huge they have their own post office and two convience stores on board about the size of 7-11. A barber shop, small church, library and even a little mini-movie movie theater. The theater is just a big screen TV with a harddrive packed with movies and two or three rows on movie seats.

>By mid summer of 2005 the Gotland arrived in San Diego and war games immediately commenced. Apparently the Navy got more than they were bargaining for when it came to finding and engaging the stealthy little sub. The Gotland virtually “sunk” many US nuclear fast attack subs, destoryers, frigates, cruisers and even made it into the ‘red zone’ beyond the last ring of anti-submarine defenses within a carrier strike group. Although it was rumored she got many simulated shots off on various US super-carriers, one large-scale training exercise in particular with the then brand new USS Ronald Reagan ended with the little sub making multiple attack runs on the super-carrier, before slithering away without ever being detected.

Well to be fair I was in two wargame scenarios in the Navy, and if it wasn't announced that we were conducting war-games I would have never even known.
I worked down in the plant in the engine-room, and the only thing that slightly changed was the bell changes. Sometimes the ship would go faster, or slower and we'd manipulate some valves.
There was no point system, no announcement being made about sighting of enemy ships, no general quarters being called. I slept, woke up and smoked a cigarette on the fantail, ate lunch and stood watch. It's all in the computers and I have no idea how that shit even works.
Seriously, we were supposed to be in wargames and it was no different than just doing circles in the ocean in the Gulf.

It actually isn't. The point of a carrier is so you can have a mobile base at sea. The amount of refueling needed for a gas powered air-craft carrier limits it's range and mobility drastically.

>>80898625
You have to replenish supplies biweekly on a nuclear carrier anyway. Just because they aren't burning oil doesn't mean the carrier grows their own fucking crops on board.

>>80898800
Also, how do the planes stay in the air? They aren't nuclear powered. You have to pump JP-5 over to be stored in the sumps. You have to send over supplies for maintenance. You have to send over fresh fruits and vegetables. You have to send over massive bails of junk rags to clean up oil. You have to send over mail (although half is flown onboard). You have to send over paint because seawater eats the fuck out of the metal and everything needs to be constantly repainted. You have to send over zinc because seawater eats metal and zinc is used to combat that. Grease and various oils to keep machinery running.
6000 people run through supplies very quickly on a deployment. A carrier is constantly resupplying at sea.
>>80894209
Navyfag I take it? I was on a destroyer. Carriers were the bane of my existence underway.
But back on topic, you're right about force projection and all. Carriers work great in small conflict and as a deterrent... but they haven't seen naval combat on a large scale since the second world war. Most of our military, and especially our Navy, revolves entirely around military theory today.
What I mean is, should we go into a large war, it'll be like WW1 all over again in that we wont know exactly how our current technology is going to react to a new modern conflict. Expensive carriers may in fact drop like flies and be too difficult to reproduce for all we know.

Just for heli's
honest.
Not that the US made sure the new F35s can land on it and take off without problem.
why would we do that.
it not even a carrier, it a destroyer!

Who wants carriers anyway?
Its all about that two layer front canons man. Old school, you know what i am saying? If your navy does not have a ship with two canons like pic related its pretty much a non navy.

it's not 1960 anymore grandpa.
Chinks don't have any and their winning on all their seas over there. Projecting massive power from the mainland.
They have top tier rocket technology. Your carriers are piles of junk steel, that's all.
Good luck getting them intact close to China- they would get btfo even before they run out of fuel.
>>80892059
Some 1970s level tech you got there.

Yeah, like the US is going to use nukes.
Even if the other country gets completely destroyed, cities like LA, SF and Manhattan would also be BTF'd. Millions of deaths and the whole country would be pretty much useless
Like in the hours after 9/11, and that were only two planes

People said the same thing about AEGIS defense against Exocet before the Falklands War.
Turns out it is a hell of a lot cheaper to saturate CIWS with incoming supersonic missile fire than it is to build a new ship...
Whoever thinks carriers are garbage because of rocket technology and other ASM tech is retarded.
Yes it is a counter to carriers but it doesn't make them obsolete. You make it sound like there aren't roles in the military meant to take out systems that can take out carriers before they have a chance to actually take the carrier out.

Look up what a SM-6 is.
We have 2 QE class aircraft carriers.

>>80905298
>Not really
Yes really. Thei are building dozens of islands faaar from their coast. Airfields, rocket silos etc.
They controll all their seas and Tanks can't do shit. 70-80% of Japan would get fucking destroyed in an instant. There are few spots on the northern island that would survive in first stage of the war.
Also only few bases in Australia could be used by their navy in case of war.
>>80905298
>I don't think you even comprehend what the role of an aircraft carrier is.
Please enlighten me.
Before they could get in a range with aircrafts on board they would get btfo by subs and ground fire from remote off-shore islands.
Good radars, good rockets. They don't need carriers- they are waste of money when enemy has to bring everything from across the ocean.
Americans slept away (corry if that is not a correct form) few past decades in terms of strategic construction of their military forces.
>>80906072

>>80906099
>Yes really.
No, not really. Projecting power requires a good handle on logistics, something China clearly does not have if they need to build artificial static defenses closer and closer to potential enemies.
>Please enlighten me.
Carriers are pretty important in today's geo-strategic environment. Why else would Russia and China be scrambling to build carrier killing weapons?
>Before they could get in a range with aircrafts on board they would get btfo by subs and ground fire from remote off-shore islands.
Chinese subs wouldn't get close to a battlegroup, let alone a carrier.
>Good radars, good rockets. They don't need carriers- they are waste of money when enemy has to bring everything from across the ocean.
They only have to bring the battlegroup that has been in the Asian ocean for decades. You are very unaware of just how many ships and aircraft the USN has.
>Americans slept away (corry if that is not a correct form) few past decades in terms of strategic construction of their military forces.
They really, really haven't. I only have to point towards Jets alone as evidence.

Are they actually active? French carrier is still superior.
>>80905753
No to my knowledge. The only real 'victory' the conscript argie army managed was this

It was mainly a victory for Aérospatiale, whose stock price soared afterward...

All interception systems can be overcome by a sufficient volume of fire from multiple angles of attack, assuming you can create it.
This is now well known and everybody learnt from it, in terms of both attack and defense...
>>80896657
A FUCKING RAMP
>>80906587
The french carrier spends more time in drydock than it does at sea. Having 1 large carrier is worse than having 2 medium ones.

Which is asinine when you 1) compare fleet sizes, and 2) compare capabilities of the ships in question.

BAE Sysems PLC (the parents company) bought a lot of small US defense contractors in the last 20 or so years, but to do that you had to set up a proxy board. The US DOD gives money to BAE Systems inc. but those projects are done here by americans under an american board of directors. the only thing the british and BAE PLC (parent company see) are the financial statements. Thats the only way we let foreign entities buy companies like that. They are completely firewalled.

Turns out it can be launched from cold war era aircraft, or land installations.
The chicoms have even purportedly lined the floor of much of the south china sea with rocket propelled sea mines...
As in anything conventionally military, terrain, location, preparation and logistic supply are all crucial in determining outcomes...

Aircraft won't last long when stealth bombers and cruise missiles wipe out chi-com airbases.
>lined the sea floor with rocket propelled sea mines
come on. no doubt they've got some mines but the western pacific and entire area in question is huge. Once the USN turn on all their equipment the chinese navy and air force will get blown the fuck out. they talk a lot of shit but when push comes to shove they aren't going to start shit with the US.

The SM-3 is against ballistic missiles outside the atmosphere, the SM-6 is made to take out sea skimming missiles.

Trudeau's Canada is the only country to fall for those memes. Everyone else is buying the F35. Analysts and higher ups in Canada's Department of Defense must be both confused and furious.
DD: "This is the plane we need. F18's aren't comparable."
Trudeau:"LOL I have read David Axe's work and you are just wrong and probably racist."
>>80908488
I'm aware. I just posted it because the US is by no means lacking in ship missiles. The SM-6 can and will shit on the Brahmos II.
