The F-A-18 fighter jet can not take off and is fully equipped with fuel and ammunition, and the cost of the aircraft receiving system is provided by the aircraft carrier, the Bloomberg news agency reported. Rose from $ 301 million to $ 961 million.
The estimated price of the aircraft carrier at about $ 12.9 billion, and the presence of these technical and financial problems raises a growing interest in the US Congress, the agency noted that the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) is planning to manufacture three ships of this type at a cost of $ 42 billion, the United States began in 2015 to produce carrier Kennedy, the second aircraft is scheduled to begin the US military in the 2018 third aircraft carrier industry.
The flaws revealed by Bloomberg reinforce fears expressed by US military experts about the fate of US aircraft carriers because they are very expensive and there are weapons that threaten them, such as torpedoes, which can cause significant damage. Historical facts show the possibility of disrupting and destroying aircraft carriers using torpedoes.
In 1939, the German submarine "U-29" managed to flood the British cruiser converted to the "HMS Courageous" aircraft carrier using torpedoes. Also in 1944, the Japanese aircraft carrier "HIJMS Shinano" is also drowning in torpedoes, and precision rockets are another threat to aircraft carriers. Although there is currently no information on the effectiveness of these missiles against aircraft carriers, the magazine acknowledges that serious consequences will result for the occurrence of a winged rocket, and will prevent take-off partially or completely, including aircraft, and during the period of the cold war, the Soviets managed to manufacture weapons of various anti-aircraft carriers, ranging from guard boats and the end of the strategic bomb launchers.
Russia and China currently have a large arsenal of various types of winged missiles capable of attacking aircraft carriers effectively. These missiles vary according to their range and speed of flight, including those that are faster than the speed of sound and invisible to radar anti-aircraft.
According to the magazine "International Intrest" US, "At one moment will become the benefit of war from the aircraft carrier is not vital when compared to the cost of construction and effectiveness and aircraft on board," and that China and Russia do not need to destroy aircraft carriers, because the current means to fight force the US President and the commanders of the forces US Navy to make great efforts to maintain aircraft carriers, that the driving ban on use in combat operations, and thus, the most expensive ships turn to the weakness of President, as so as not to lose the aircraft carrier must be kept far away from the military conflict zone, and in this case Ts H huge amounts spent on the construction and protection, unjustified, while Russia and China Mstmrtan in the manufacture of new ways to destroy aircraft carriers.
