The strength and naval combat experience of Lun Navy. Is the US Navy definitely the world's number one?...

During peacetime, the U.S. Navy fleet mainly operates in the form of "aircraft carrier battle groups" and "amphibious fleets. According to the Defense Blue Book released by the U.S. Department of Defense at the end of the year, the U.S. Navy has a total of thugs to look at the aircraft carriers. In addition to the "George, Bush" who is in charge of scraping training missions, he is named after President Bush. In addition, eight of the other old aircraft carriers are deployed at the Apula Naval Base in Guam, "Subic Naval Base in the Philippines," Darwin Port in Australia," Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, 2 is stationed in Bremerton, Washington, moves to San Diego, California, 6 is stationed in Atlantic Fleet, a permanently stationed in Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Italy," Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and 3 is stationed in Norfolk, Virginia.

Under normal circumstances, "aircraft carriers and thugs, air defense cruisers, 2 multi-purpose destroyers" or anti-submarine destroyers are deployed in the Western Pacific, and the aircraft carrier battle groups in the Southwest Pacific and Indian Ocean are equipped with two anti-submarine destroyers. The aircraft carrier battle groups deployed in other regions only have aircraft carrier battle groups. During peacetime, the overseas activities of the aircraft carrier battle groups are between 3 and 4 months. When performing combat missions, it will be extended to more than 6 months. During the Iran War, the record of the "Gerardford" aircraft carrier battle group that has created an old month of continuous activities is only a record after World War II, because during the Pacific War, the "Enterprise" aircraft carrier battle group has created an astonishing record of the old months of continuous activities in the old months, and this record has never been broken.

Of course, US aircraft carriers will only be "alone" when performing low-intensity combat missions

move.

When performing medium-intensity combat missions, the US Navy will form a larger aircraft carrier battle group with the moving aircraft carrier as the core, and flexibly arrange escort forces according to the threat situation on the battlefield. For example, when the enemy has strong underwater forces, the anti-submarine power of the combat group must be strengthened. If the enemy has a strong air force, the air defense force of the combat group must be strengthened. In the Gulf War of the early 5th century, the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group that participated in the combat operations basically had aircraft carriers.

If you encounter a high-intensity war, you will have three aircraft carriers as the core.

Because as the number of aircraft carriers increases, the number of escort warships will also increase. Dozens of warships act together will not only cause command problems, but also make the fleet's combat tactics extremely complex, thereby weakening the fleet's combat capabilities. Therefore, the US Navy has never organized more than three aircraft carriers into the same combat group. If more aviation combat forces are needed, more battles should be formed.

group.

Of course, the organization of the aircraft carrier battle group with 3 aircraft carriers as the core is not static.

During the Iran War, because the strength of the Iranian air force is not too strong, and the US military can make full use of air bases in Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other countries, the US naval fleet is not under great threat. The main figure is to fill the loopholes in the air force's strike force, so the US military's 3-aircraft thugs and the mother combat group will all escort and reduce its strength to the minimum, that is, only air defense cruisers, three multi-purpose destroyers and whip anti-submarine destroyers, thus providing more support for the amphibious fleet and performing well in offshore combat operations.

During the Peninsula War, the U.S. Navy had to face the powerful Republic Air Force, the Republic Navy Air Force that assisted the Republic Air Force to make a shout, and the elusive Republic Navy submarine. In this way, the escort force of the U.S. Navy's three aircraft carrier battle group reached its maximum state, namely, it had a free air defense cruiser, six multi-purpose destroyers and anti-submarine destroyers underwater and three attack submarines. It is precisely this way. In the Peninsula War, the U.S. Navy's "carrier battle group suffered no serious losses when the combat efficiency of the carrier-based aviation was very low.

The Middle East War has the characteristics of the Middle East War and is difficult to compare with the previous two wars.

Because they face Syria directly and the US military has long planned to invade Syria, the US Navy attaches great importance to the USS Maine aircraft carrier battle group that operates in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its sister ship is the US Navy to replace the Blue Ridge class. Its sister ship is the USS Ole. The names of these two warships are the US state names, and to commemorate the air defense force of the warship of the same name in the Spanish-American War at the end of the old century, and equipped them with six air defense cruisers, multi-purpose destroyers and anti-submarine destroyers. From this organization, it can be seen that because the Syrian Navy is very small in scale and does not have decent underwater combat power, and the attack submarine of the Republic's Navy is difficult to enter the Mediterranean, so the US Navy does not attach much importance to fleet anti-submarines.

In comparison, the escort force of the "Orenet" aircraft carrier battle group operating in the Red Sea is much worse.

Because the US Navy controls the Mande Strait south of the Red Sea, it set up the world's most advanced undersea anti-submarine sonar network in the strait. After the outbreak of the Middle East War, it deployed attack submarines here, and also allowed the naval aviation troops deployed in Djibouti to deploy hundreds of sunken intelligent mines in the strait.

Therefore, when the US Navy sent the "Orenet" aircraft carrier battle group into the Red Sea, it was not worried about being threatened from the sea. More importantly, due to the backwardness of Sudan's basic conditions, etc.

"The scale of the military bases of the State of Kou in Sudan is not very large. In addition to supporting small-scale "fighting" operations, it mainly monitors US military bases located in Djibouti and Eritrea, and blocks exports from the north and south ends of the Red Sea when a large-scale war breaks out.

Obviously, the Middle East War cannot be considered a real large-scale war.

After the war broke out, the Republic did not strengthen its military forces deployed in Sudan. Both sides knew that if the Republic took action in Sudan, it would be equivalent to provoking the United States and actively expanding the scope of the war. Even if the United States did not intend to fight a full-scale war with the Republic, it would take this opportunity to overthrow the Sudan regime. Because Egypt's attitude is unclear and the Republic does not have a military base in the surrounding areas that can support a large-scale war, it is unlikely that it would risk losing Sudan and compete with the United States in the Red Sea region. Considering Sudan's position in the Republic's African strategy, the Republic's authorities have no reason to put Sudan on the gambling table at this time.

Affected by this, the US Navy did not even strengthen the air defense force of the USS Ole Net aircraft carrier battle group.

In fact, the U.S. Navy does not have this ability either.

In the U.S. Navy, there is no separate Indian Ocean Fleet. According to the U.S. military system, the Indian Ocean belongs to the Central Theater Command, which mainly obtains maritime combat forces from the Pacific Fleet. The problem is that the fleet deployed in Digo Garcia belongs to the Atlantic Fleet.

It can be seen that the construction of the USS Ole Net aircraft carrier battle group is very complex. In addition to the USS Bill Clinton aircraft carrier battle group stationed in Digo Garcia, the USS Bunker Mountain air defense cruiser, the USS Foster and the USS Fletcher multi-purpose destroyers, the USS Kidd and Lynch anti-submarine destroyers, and the USS Charlotte attack submarine, other battleships, including the USS Oregon flagship, all come from the Pacific Fleet.

In this way, when forming this aircraft carrier battle group, the US Navy was too late to equip enough escort warships.

When entering the war zone, the battle group of the USS Ole Net aircraft carrier was only subjected to air defense cruisers, multi-purpose destroyers, three anti-submarine destroyers, two attack submarines, and three anti-submarine destroyers and! The attack submarines were sent to cover the rapid comprehensive support fleet from Digo Garcia to Djibouti. What's more, starting from July 3, the US Navy received the news that the Republic's Navy had added submarines to the Indian Ocean, and sent the wrinkled anti-submarine destroyers and the moving attack submarines to the Mande Strait south of the Red Sea. Although the whip submarines had no effect in fleet air defense operations, the three anti-submarine destroyers had dozens of medium- and short-range air defense missiles with a range of kilometers, which could provide some protection for aircraft carriers.

It can be seen from this that the air defense force of the "Orenet" aircraft carrier battle group is very weak.

According to the theoretical data released by the United States, the third batch of air defense cruisers "Bunkershan" was the first batch. However, in Shu, it was modernized and improved according to the standards of the third batch. It can target altitude of less than kilometers in fleet air defense operations. It can only intercept Hong targets at most in an air defense operation, and the armpit destroyer can also intercept basic targets. It is considered to be the terminal interception system on the escort warship and three aircraft carriers. The "Oregon" aircraft carrier battle group can deal with at most a target in a battle. Of course, this is a pure theoretical calculation result, and the interception ability in actual combat is only half of the theoretical calculation result.

Obviously, the air defense interception capability of the "Orenet" aircraft carrier combat group is not as strong.

In fact, relying on its strong comprehensive combat capabilities, it is difficult for the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group to encounter hundreds of missiles launching attacks at the same time in actual combat.

To be honest, except for the Republican army, there is probably no other country or other army that can threaten the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group.

More importantly, even if the air defense system cannot intercept all missiles, the US fleet has its last move: a forced electromagnetic interference system. You must know that any missile is a guided weapon, and as long as it is a precise guided weapon, it cannot resist a forced electromagnetic interference system. If you want to deal with a forced electromagnetic interference system, you can only use a closed-circuit guidance method with precision. In this case, the attack efficiency of the missile will be reduced by several orders of magnitude, and it is even worse than that of a non-guided bomb!

Of course, forced electromagnetic interference systems are definitely not omnipotent.

Practical combat has long proven that the forced electromagnetic interference system is definitely a double-edged sword, which can not only destroy the enemy's electronic systems and its own electronic systems. Even if the large US Navy warships have been improved during the mid-term major reforms, adding a closed-circuit control system, that is, when hit by an electromagnetic bomb, the basic control system on the warship can operate normally to ensure that the warship can return to the naval base. The problem is that the main defense system of the warship will definitely be done. Take the air defense system as an example. Because air defense radar and fire control radar cannot be made into a closed-circuit system, it is difficult to resume work immediately after being attacked by an electromagnetic bomb or the fleet uses a forced electric collision interference system, and it will take at least a few minutes to restart. In high-intensity modern naval battles, a few minutes are enough to determine the fate of the fleet.

It is precisely because the US Navy has not placed its hopes entirely on the forced electromagnetics new address of this site has been changed to: Sishan Ao plus 84 Please log in to the threshold for reading

In fact, the same is true for the Republic's Navy. Although air defense missiles, especially those that can intercept missiles flying at suborbital altitudes, are extremely expensive, and most anti-missile missiles are even more expensive than hypersonic anti-ship missiles that need to be dealt with, compared to aircraft carriers that cost tens of billions of dollars per ship, cruisers that cost tens of billions of dollars per ship, and destroyers that cost tens of millions of dollars per ship, missiles that cost tens of millions of dollars per ship are nothing. If you count Shanghai officers and soldiers, the price of missiles is nothing. It is precisely because of this that the Republic and the U.S. Navy attach great importance to fleet air defense systems, and even combine fleet air defense systems with national strategic defense systems, and use many new technologies developed for strategic defense systems to improve the combat efficiency of fleet air defense systems. Not to mention, the lidar commonly used in fleet air defense systems is developed from the directional guided radar of strategic defense systems.

The problem is that the first thing the US fleet’s air defense system has to face is thousands of distilled anti-ship missiles.

Because the fleet is active in the war zone and participates in combat operations, all warships are in combat state. As the air defense alarm sounds, each warship enters the air defense combat state in an orderly manner under the control of the air defense fire control system. When the aviation commander on the aircraft carrier ordered the air defense fighter jets to leave the air defense combat area, the missile vertical launch system of the three air defense cruisers took the lead in starting work, launching air defense missiles into the air at a speed of 8 per second.

Compared with the Ticonderoga class cruiser that led to the U.S. Navy's early 2000s, the speed of launching air defense missiles was 7 times higher! This is also impossible. Because the speed of anti-ship missiles is getting faster and faster, if enough air defense missiles cannot be launched immediately, it will be impossible to launch enough anti-ship missiles.

As air defense cruisers were put into combat, multi-purpose destroyers also entered air defense combat.

In just a second, the escort warship in the fleet disappeared in the smoke and dust that was sprayed out when the missile took off. Under the vague moonlight, it seemed as if a smog suddenly rose on the sea.

At this moment, the anti-ship missile entering from the suborbital height entered the dive trajectory.

The air defense time left for the US fleet is less than wu seconds.

Although the air fire control radars on cruisers and destroyers guide air defense missiles to intercept targets in batches, because the missile launch frequency is too high, it seems like it is a one-time transaction. There is no interruption at all.

This is also the characteristic of modern air defense operations. Success or failure depends on the actions within a few seconds.

It is also true that the air defense systems on modern warships are controlled by supercomputers. As long as the air defense detection system on the warship discovers a threat, the warship will automatically enter the air defense combat state. In other words, the commander on the warship can only decide whether to lift the air defense combat state after the warship enters the air defense state, and cannot prevent the warship's fire control system from taking necessary precautions. Only in this way can he respond in a sudden attack. Of course, if it is determined that it is a false alarm, the commander can also end the combat operation.

The problem has been mentioned earlier that the interception capability of the port warship is not enough to deal with thousands of missiles.

The key is here.

Because the speed of combat is too fast, far exceeds the speed of human response and judgment, after confirming that it is attacked, that is, the warship enters the air defense combat state and intercepts with missiles, if it is determined that it cannot destroy all incoming anti-ship missiles, and the warship's end interception system is not enough to intercept all missiles, the warship's fire control system will charge the forced electric collision interference system. And after the terminal interception system engages with the incoming missiles, it is ready to be launched at any time. That is to say, the fleet commander must make a decision on whether to use the forced electromagnetic interference system before the terminal interception system is activated. To be precise, the decision-making decision is decided. If the commander does not make a veto decision at this time, the fire control system will activate the forced electromagnetic interference system when it is determined that the warship will be attacked by the missile. Because the flight speed of the anti-ship missile is very fast, the decision time left to the commander is often only a few seconds.

Obviously, such a little time is not enough.

At the critical moment, any fleet commander and captain will hand over the decision-making power of using the forced electromagnetic interference system to a much faster fire control computer.

Although forced electromagnetic interference will completely paralyze most of the electronic systems of the warship, causing the fleet to lose air defense combat capabilities in the next few minutes, and even completely lose its combat capabilities, any fleet has several to dozens of forced electromagnetic interference systems, which can withstand several to dozens of attacks in a row. Therefore, after using the forced electromagnetic interference system, the fleet did not completely lose its defense capabilities.

One thing is very important, that is, forced electromagnetic interference systems will also interfere with each other.

In other words, when using forced electromagnetic interference systems continuously, there is always a little interval, or system preparation time. More importantly, as the number of consecutive uses increases, the system preparation time will be correspondingly extended. Especially when there is only the shortest preparation time each time, the reaction speed of the forced electromagnetic interference system will become slower and slower.

This is a fatal and unrepairable flaw.
