mlmp08 posted:It's true that the Navy would like to put aircraft which do not yet exist and have never before been fielded onto carriers once they exist and have been fielded. This is a bit like telling you that you are currently short on ownership of computers, because you don't yet have whatever new computer you're going to own in 2030, even though you do presumably have a computer right now. quote:Lastly, you omitted the part of the youtube video that says that the carrier air wing plan would reduce its numbers by removing up to 13x helicopters from carriers (this sounds a bit dubious and the youtuber again acknowledges he's kind of guessing and might be wrong or might not understand it clearly). quote:The Navy hasn't really figured out how it wants to configure the Ford yet, as posted up thread. The Navy has indicated that as the Ford comes online, they may seek to increase the number of aircraftt onboard the Ford class, but that such increased numbers might not work on the Nimitz-class. I think that might be what's throwing you off. quote:So all told, you found a source from 2022 that warns that they're kind of guessing based on spotty reports, and also the final tally they come up with is that the aircraft onboard the carrier would be somewhere between 68 and 78 aircraft, but they're not sure how correct that is. Did you notice the part about the helicopters in this video? quote:If we assume that everything posted by that youtuber is correct, then the Navy is considering adding 1x E2-D, and 2x EA-18Gs (still being manufactured and delivered to this day). So three additional aircraft that exist or have active, proven assembly lines. Here's an announcement from the Navy itself. Also from 2020 so this is probably the source. https://seapowermagazine.org/navys-future-carrier-air-wing-configuration-coming-into-focus/ quote:As illustrated in a PowerPoint slide, the future wing would still include 44 strike fighters as it does now, but the mix of Block 4 F-35C Lightning II fighters and Block III F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighters changes from 10 and 34, respectively, to 16 and 28. The strike fighters would equip one 16-aircraft F-35C squadron and three F/A-18E/F squadrons totalling 28 Super Hornets. The other neat thing I found is this, the configuration of the Carl Vinson in 2021 on its first excursion with the F-35. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2021/september/air-wing-immediate-future 44 Fighters, 7 Growlers, 5 AWACs, 3 Ospreys, and 14 helicopters. Plus 6 more helicopters not on the carrier. So 73+6 total and this was larger than the usual loadout. And I finally found this. https://www.defensenews.com/naval/2022/02/14/three-takeaways-from-the-us-navys-first-f-35c-deployment/ quote:Three takeaways from the US Navy’s first F-35C deployment quote:The “air wing of the future” also included two additional EA-18G Growlers and one additional E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft, bolstering the air wing’s ability to sense the operating area and share data from those sensors across the CSG. quote:Strike group commander Rear Adm. Dan Martin said Carrier Air Wing 2 showed “seamless integration” of the F-35C and the CMV-22 into the air wing. quote:Though his air wing already had two more Growlers that a typical air wing, Martin said “we’re advocating for more because we saw the value of that aircraft in theater.” quote:Several crew members on the carrier told Defense News they struggled with the high “deck density,” or the number of aircraft given the amount of space on the flight deck and the hangar bay, early in the deployment. quote:Martin acknowledged the challenges that would come with adding more aircraft into finite hangar and flight deck space, but said it’s important for the Navy to “shape the air wing that’s relevant for the threat.” That is probably the last word for me. A Rear Admiral that's actively commanding a carrier strike group with a larger than normal complement of aircraft is saying there should be even more aircraft on the carrier. The only person that would outrank that is the rubber-stamper for a secretly hospitalized Secretary of Defense. quote:The Navy has started reducing the number of helicopters it sends in an air wing, Martin said, which could free up room for more jets — but he said he had 19 helos and “we needed all of them.” Martin said he sent his MH-60s on long flights for anti-submarine warfare, surface warfare, search and rescue and other missions. quote:Despite the larger air wing, Carl Vinson Commanding Officer Capt. P. Scott Miller said in an address to the crew on the 1MC “we had no aircraft-to-aircraft crunches throughout the entire deployment … in either the hangar bay or the flight deck,” a safety feat no one on his staff could recall achieving in other deployments. quote:“Once you even get close to the South China Sea, you can bank on Chinese ships coming out to meet you and escort you in. You never make a move without an escort, which is why we try to make some moves that are unpredictable to try to scrape off some escorts,” he said, adding that he tried to keep the carrier traveling at 25 knots or faster through the South China Sea to remain unpredictable. Edit: In case it's not clear, this is all about the USS Carl Vinson, a Nimitiz-class, and not about the new Ford-class carrier. BearsBearsBears has issued a correction as of 01:02 on Jan 25, 2024 |

lol you know whats going to help fit more aircraft on an aircraft carrier replacing c2 greyhounds with cmv-22b ospreys this article doesnt mention the fact that the osprey's actual payload is only 60% of what a c2 greyhound carries at a comparable range but it does include some bangers https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/new-cmv-22b-osprey-a-game-changer-says-navy-air-boss quote:Whitesell said concerns about how the Osprey would fit on deck were addressed by alocatting additional hangar bay space. quote:There have been other concerns voiced about the CMV-22B’s suitability for the COD mission, too. We discussed these at length here, but they include a lack of cabin pressurization. Unless its passengers and crew are on oxygen, the Osprey has to fly at lower altitudes, and over long distances, at turboprop-like speeds. Being that its destination is usually far out to sea, that can include being forced to fly through highly inclement weather. quote:In February, as the Navy announced the CMV-22B had obtained its IOC, Bloomberg News reported that the aircraft wasn’t yet “operationally suitable” because it has only “partially met reliability requirements,” the Pentagon’s testing office said in a non-public assessment. Among the problems was the CMV-22's ice protection system “accounted for 25% of the operational mission failures, which will result in mission aborts." e: from an older article just for the absolute lols quote:Most critically, in its most compact configuration, the CMV-22B cannot move around under its own power. in order to get this pig gently caress aircraft to fit into anything like the c2's footprint, they had to do this: oh wrong picture its actually THIS The Oldest Man has issued a correction as of 09:20 on Jan 24, 2024 |

I'm going to come up with a brand new completely new very new naval composition idea called low-high. We're goimg to spend 5% of the total naval budget on "low" zodiacs, fibreglass minesweepers etc then 95% of the budget on a single really large mega ship large enough to have TWO Las Vegas casino strips on board. I'm thinking something like 30 oil rigs lashed together with chicken wire and a shitload of tugs but all in one hull.

Training pipeline doing great, producing nine qualified technical specialists in two years: "This year, ATWO cohort is composed of 9 students. 2 Gunners, 2 Inftr, 1 LEET, 1 Cbt Engr, 1 Sigs Tech, 1 Sigs Int, 1 Suplly Tech. So far, students went to DRDC Suffield, Toronto and few industries in the South-west of Ontario. They have completed many of the foundation courses and they are now studying Military Information System, Energetic and Ballistics, Battlefield Surveillance and Target Acquisition Sensors, and Vehicle Systems, Survivability and Mobility, to name a few. In one week student will have their first project week, and some will be conducting trials in Suffield, QETE, and METC. For the second consecutive year, instead of going to CTC Gagetown, students will go visit in March the NATO enhanced Forward Battle Group Latvia. During this FST student will be exposed to how the Battle group tries to integrate all the capacity from the different nation involve and capability gap. This FST will also bring the students to Estonia to visit the Tehnopol Science and Business Park located in the town of Tallinn. Other FST are planned to go in Québec, NRC and NE USA. This year symposium is planned to be on (date) More detail will be provided when available." "student will be exposed to how the Battle group tries to integrate all the capacity from the different nation involve and capability gap" should make your blood run cold, btw.

Real hurthling! posted:just to pull a cord? This is a specialized course for the corps level technical specialists, Master Gunners, but they're responsible for providing technical expertise for four regiments, the school and the various HQs. So, for example, they're the ones that (used to) direct industry on modifying guns and vehicles, back when we could do that. The problem is that these guys are kinda important, and are supposed to be the only people that can override the contractors, Public Works and even DND so that guns and gunnery meet the standard. Having only 9 trained means that the shortcomings will "have" to be filled by contractors. You can see that only two of them are actually artillerymen. The two infantrymen on the course will be the Infantry Corps experts on every small arm in the inventory, plus the mortars and .50s, as well as LAV armaments. Again, you probably want to have more than two of them. Frosted Flake has issued a correction as of 14:30 on Jan 24, 2024 |

BearsBearsBears posted:If I worked in an office that used to have desktop computers (dedicated refueling aircraft), was complaining about not having desktop computers, needed to have desktop computers, was currently borrowing use of desktop computers from the Air Force, and planned to have desktop computers in the future then I would say that the office had a shortage of desktop computers. Dell laptops (Hornets) just aren't as good at doing some things as desktop computers are. You are getting very close to agreeing with me. I’ve always been saying that carriers are not sailing around half or two thirds empty for lack of available aircraft, but that future capability and experimentation might lead to changes in how many of select new aircraft are put on carrier in the future, especially as the new class of carrier is fielded and gains experience. Until that experimentation pans out, carriers are cruising with full air wings now, with the exception of the experiment Atlantic-only “deployment” of the Ford in 2022, where it did testing and exercises. You’re getting close to having read and understood enough to get that now, as opposed to where you started, thinking carriers were sailing around missing portions of their carrier air wing.

Weka posted:I think the fall of Rome is a pretty good example of the sort of worry Bill has put forward. Sure, it seems inevitable that the American empire will collapse, but this doesn't mean capitalism will end. At least in the west (where I am more familiar), the societies that came after Rome were a direct continuation of the late Western Roman system of government. Maybe America falls and China continues to use the capitalist mode of production. Obviously in the historical example there were differences in the political economies of Rome and its successor states and there would be in this example too. China will likely continue to exercise strong state control for instance. You can point to the TRPF, but nobody has really tried capitalism armed with marxist economics until now, so who knows what could be achieved that way. Giovanni Arrighi in The Long 20th Century writes that global capitalism in global crises reform under a new hegemon in a cycle wherein the supplanting hegemon is able to internalize an externality that the outgoing hegemon was not, leading to their collapse. He describes the Italian city-states falling to the Dutch who internalized their defense, who fell to the British which internalized its supply chain through imperialism, which fell to the US which internalized industrial verticality. Given that he was writing in the early 90s his prediction for the future seems laughable that the coming nexus would be rooted in Japan, but I've always thought that it was obvious that the next capitalist hegemon will China and it will have internalized capital itself, making sure that it remains subservient to the state. Oh yeah he also mentions that transitions are coming faster and with increasing bloodshed, so yay for that.
