  1. Originally posted by aldra isn't that blackpowder? ratios are WAY different for smokeless

    Smokeless powder is nothing like gunpowder.

    Smokeless powder is mainly nitrocellulose and/or nitroglycerin in various ratios along with other minor ingredients

    They'll sink their own ship.

    There's a reason Russian carriers always travel with a tug boat
  4. Originally posted by Speedy Parker It carries are obsolete and can be sunk at will by China why is China building a third one with plans for 4 more?

    Ego.

    They can't be sunk at will.

    ASW
  6. I have some butt injections for anyone that wants to pay me to give it to them.
  7. Originally posted by aldra Like I said, modern missile tech has made carriers obsolete. In the case of actual war and not just posturing, it would be far too dangerous for carriers to be deployed anywhere near the theatre because there is no way to protect them from Chinese DDF21Bs or Russian Kinzahls, for example. Further to that I have no doubt any capable adversary would actively hunt them (even outside of active warzones) just for the morale hit.

    The only instance they're (militarily) effective is when they're able to attack with impunity against countries that have no effective anti-air or hypersonic/ASBM capabilities, ie. menacing brown people.

    That.

    Carriers are no longer relevant in peer to peer combat with the proliferation of hypersonic missiles the way they were 'invented' in WW2...HOWEVER...the US doesn't use them that way. China doesn't have any combat capable carriers nor are they able to employ them properly.

    I was on multiple carriers during soviet times and I can tell you with complete certainty that any platform with anti-carrier weapons was monitored closer than a proctologist does to their favorite patient. Except that whole BEAR incident...but I think that guy was fired. Everyone on a carrier knows their job is to get the aircraft off the deck then pucker up and enjoy the .00004 nanoseconds of searing heat before they die from a thermal blast wave and radiation poisoning.

    Even Iran thinks they can kill a carrier with boat swarms but the US already has countermeasures for that too.
