Recently, the U.S. Navy has frequently conducted military exercises, of which increasing maritime power is their main purpose of organizing military exercises. Since the U.S. military restarted its military operations, its military deployments around the world have become active and united with major allies to carry out maritime military exercises. The U.S. knows that the Asia-Pacific region is of great strategic significance, so it has deployed a large number of warships and fighters in nearby areas. In order to prove that their aircraft carriers were not affected by the epidemic, they actively pulled out to train their troops. Whenever the U.S. aircraft carrier formation drove by mightily, it did form a beautiful landscape on the sea, but it is a pity that these aircraft carriers are bringing scenery to the U.S. military. At the same time, they also face tremendous economic pressure.
The world’s strongest aircraft carrier-the "Kennedy"
Take the most advanced Ford-class aircraft carrier of the U.S. military as an example. At present, the No. 1 ship "Ford "And the No. 2 ship "Kennedy". The "Ford" has been in service for a long time, but it is unable to form combat effectiveness. Therefore, the US military has high hopes for the "Kennedy", which is in the construction stage, and has always insisted that it is the world's strongest aircraft carrier. The carrier has a full load displacement of 120,000 tons, a speed of over 30 knots, and can carry 75 fighters, and its comprehensive combat effectiveness is comparable to 6 Shandong ships. However, the outside world believes that this aircraft carrier is likely to follow in the footsteps of the "Ford". The United States insists on adopting electromagnetic catapults and other advanced technologies in pursuit of advancement. However, facts have proved that these technologies are embarrassing for the US military in a short time. Fang had a headache for this.
[The USS John F. Kennedy (Hail number: CVN-79) is an aircraft carrier under the US Navy and the second ship of the US Navy’s Ford-class aircraft carrier. The former model of the USS John F. Kennedy was the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. The USS Kennedy was sister ships with the USS Henry Ford and the USS Enterprise. 】
The combat power of the Shandong ship is 6 times? Why is the US military unable to do anything?
Regardless of whether the statement that the "Kennedy" is six times as powerful as the Shandong ship is true, if it is unable to form combat effectiveness like the "Ford", then no matter how strong it is, Can't really play out. However, this is not the place that worries the US military the most. The new crown pneumonia epidemic in the United States may delay the delivery of the Kennedy. I did not expect the leaks to happen overnight. Some time ago, many US warships caught fire one after another, and they were even in the construction stage. The "Kennedy" was not spared. Although the fire was quickly extinguished, it has already brought certain negative effects to the US Navy.
It is understood that the cost of a Ford-class aircraft carrier is about 13 billion U.S. dollars. In addition, the subsequent need to prepare carrier aircraft, frigates and other equipment for the aircraft carrier, and the Ford-class aircraft carrier will be The backbone of the U.S. Navy, the U.S. military is destined to equip it with the most advanced ancillary equipment. This will be a big expense. The economic situation of the United States is not optimistic. This "golden behemoth" makes the U.S. military helpless. .
