American journalists published another material that devoted the vulnerability of their aircraft carriers. An overview of this publication of a foreign press represents the publication "Military case".
"Despite the fact that the aircraft carriers are very well protected, they are in no case invincible,"
The author noted that recently the US Navy has lost the old anti-submarine skills. According to Mizoca, this trend on worsening began in the first years after the end of World War II. US aircraft carriers are a formidable force and a serious argument to curb the enemy, however, as practice shows, these huge ships are very vulnerable.
Further, the author recalls the case when in the spring of 2015 one of the largest ships in the world - the aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt was conventionally sulking a small submarine. We are talking about the nuclear french submarine class RUBIS "Sapphire", which took part in joint exercises with the 12th aircraft carrier group (AURA) US Navy. The first ten days of teachings boat performed educational tasks in conjunction with the Americans. In the second phase of the exercise, the French crew received, according to the American side, an impracticable order. The boat was prescribed to act as a conditional opponent, track down the aircraft carrier, imperceptibly penetrating the combat order and torpes the "Theodore Roosevelt". Suddenly, French submariners have coped with the task of exercises. In addition to the aircraft carriage, the boat was able to conditionally destroy several accompanies ships.
The message about such an outcome of the sea battle was published in the Twitter social network on the village of Navy France. True, it should be noted that the French submariners failed to praise on the whole world. The message was almost immediately removed. Journalist Kyle Mizoca emphasizes that for the remote post immediately seized some media, of which he highlighted the Russia Today channel.
"RT sponsored by RT loudly that the" serious vulnerability "of the American aircraft carrier allowed the French" sappira "to bypass the detection of the" Theodore Roosevelt "detection. It was a clean conclusion ",
However, the author did not deny the fact that the most believable reason for the removal of the message from Twitter was the fear of the French to put their main ally on NATO in an awkward position.
Indeed, as such a tiny, long-standing and non-American submarine could "kill" the ship, which was almost fifty times more than she herself? Kyle Mizoca did not answer this question.
"First, we do not know the exercise conditions",
He suggested that most likely the carriages of the aircraft carrier ships had a ban on using some detection tools.
Secondly, Mizokes notes the characteristics of the French torpedo. According to the journalist, F17, which are equipped with an agricultural fuzasny combat part weighing 551 pounds, simply are not able to cause critical damage to neither ship's shipments or, especially, the aircraft carrier. Yes, and a volley out of four torpedoes, it's all that the French submarine was capable of. The maximum that could damage the Sapphire, these are the three Escort ship and Theodore Roosevelt himself. The author of the article argues that after hitting one battle torpedo, the American aircraft carrier would not just stay afloat, but also continued to fulfill his mission.
Nevertheless, at the end of his article, Kyle Mizoca writes that the fact of a successful attack on the aircraft carrier is a serious signal for the US Navy. Especially, the author emphasizes, this is relevant in modern realities, when China's fleet continues to grow, and the Navy of Russia is increasing activity in the Baltic and Mediterranean seas. Despite the fact that the "defeat" of the aircraft carrier was conditional, it is a serious blow to the pride of the American Military Fleet. Mizoca writes that the next time a foreign submarine, which pursues a huge ship with six thousand people on board, can really do indescribable trouble.
