Recently, the US Navy, which has always been the world leader, has been exposed to a rather embarrassing situation. Its proud aircraft carrier fleet currently has only three ships capable of sailing at sea, namely the "Eisenhower" and the "Nimi". The US and the Reagan, as well as the other eight aircraft carriers in active service, are undergoing or are about to undergo continuous “bottling”. For the US military, which often uses aircraft carriers to find its international presence, this news has undoubtedly hit the US military in the face. In order to confirm the news, foreign media interviewed U.S. Admiral Harris, who himself stated that the situation is true.
Since World War II, the US Navy has maintained the world's most powerful aircraft carrier formation, and the US aircraft carrier technology is far ahead of other countries in the world. Judging from the current situation, the U.S. Navy has a total of 11 aircraft carriers, all of which are nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, of which 10 are the "Nimitz" class and one is the "Ford" class, because the first ship of the "Ford" class " The "Ford" aircraft carrier has not yet formed an effective combat capability due to various problems. Prior to this, the US Navy only had 10 aircraft carriers deployed. However, as the true face of the U.S. aircraft carrier was exposed, some defects related to the U.S. aircraft carrier began to become known to the world.
Since the beginning of this year, the US military’s aircraft carrier fleet has entered the South China Sea four times. In addition to the USS Reagan, the aircraft carrier "Nimitz" has been carrying out operations in the four countries of the United States, Japan, India and Australia. During the military exercise, the two aircraft carriers even appeared at the same time. It can be seen that Nimitz and Reagan seem to have become the dual aircraft carrier fleet fixed by the US military in the Asia-Pacific region. Although these two aircraft carriers are not the most advanced, they are the only ones that can be used. The remaining aircraft carriers are due to overhaul and It cannot be deployed due to various reasons such as failure. According to previous reports from the United States, only the "Reagan" and "Eisenhower" can be deployed regularly, and the "Nimitz" has recently been unable to deploy due to steam ejection and frequent failures of the ship's electromechanical system.
As a matter of fact, the phenomenon of collective "floating nests" of American aircraft carriers is very likely to have a significant impact on the relevant strategic plans of the United States. As we all know, since the beginning of the new century, Russia and the great eastern powers have always been the competitive targets of the United States. The frequent dispatch of aircraft carriers on voyages is to affect the local situation. In addition, the United States often "provokes" in the Middle East, Europe and other regions, and the aircraft carrier fleet has become the biggest hand. But on the other hand, the status of the US aircraft carrier has been deteriorating. The "Stennis" has just started overhaul, and it will take at least half a year. The "Washington" aircraft carrier has only half the fuel capacity and is expected to be put into service by the end of 2021. Needless to say, the "Ford" is enough to cause headaches for the US Navy. The combat effectiveness will not be formed in a short while, and the "Bush" aircraft carrier will need to be repaired for at least two years.
The three remaining US Navy aircraft carriers are completely impossible to complete all the tasks required by the United States. Therefore, the United States must send other ships to replace them. The most suitable are amphibious assault ships, but the number of US amphibious assault ships is only 8 ships. In addition, due to the functional characteristics, it is difficult to replace aircraft carriers to perform tasks. Therefore, during the period when the US aircraft carrier collectively sinks, there should be some restraint, after all, it has lost the most important "killer" against major powers.
