5 Ways Russia and China Could Sink America's Aircraft Carriers
The modern aircraft carrier is a global symbol of US dominance, hegemony, peace, even empire.
But at over 300m long, and displacing more than 100,000 tons, is it a sitting duck?
Is the massive emblem of American greatness just an obsolete, vulnerable hunk of steel?
There's a lot of consternation about whether or not the United States should even have
massive supercarriers anymore.
Obviously, the answer here is "depends on how much explosives you've got."
But while sinking an aircraft carrier is difficult, it's not impossible.
The key is what it's used for, and who it's used against.
But if you wanted to sink one, here's what you'd have to do, and what you'd be up against.
The Importance Of Aircraft Carriers The core problem for every system dedicated
to sinking aircraft carriers is the link between reconnaissance assets, or the things that
can spot a carrier, and shooters, the things that can take one down.
Submarines, aircraft and surface vessels can't kill carriers at range if they don't know
where those carriers are, and one of the notable differences between an aircraft carrier and
an airbase is that the former, obviously, is mobile.
Even a supersonic cruise missile can take twenty minutes to reach its target area at
maximum range, and a carrier manoeuvring at high speed can move ten miles in the same
period of time.
A massive aircraft carrier can move surprisingly fast for something weighing over 100,000 tons,
with a top speed of more than 30 knots, or about 56km an hour, which is what you get
when you go for nuclear power.
The problem is complicated by the fact that the surface ships and submarines firing at
such ranges cannot detect the carrier themselves; they need to operate off data provided by
other assets, which tends to increase the time and uncertainty associated with targeting
decisions.
The United States has spent, essentially, 30 years developing and working out a reconnaissance
strike complex that includes multiple redundant systems of surveillance and communication,
resulting in a kill chain that transfers information in real time from advanced sensor platforms
(satellites, submarine listening posts, drones, patrol aircraft) through communications nodes
(satellites, aircraft) to ships, planes, and submarines that can launch and guide missiles
to targets.
No other country has similar capabilities, even Russia and China.
Nevertheless, the Russians and the Chinese continue to try.
Here are some of the measures that foes have taken to destroy aircraft carriers, and the
countermeasures intended to defeat those foes.
Torpedo On September 17, 1939, the German submarine
U-29 torpedoed and sank HMS Courageous.
Courageous was the first aircraft carrier lost to submarine attack, but would not be
the last.
Over the course of World War II, the United States, the UK and Japan lost numerous carriers
to submarines, culminating in the destruction of the gigantic HIJMS Shinano in 1944.
Submarine-fired torpedoes remain a critical threat to modern carriers.
Russian and Chinese submarines regularly practice attacks on U.S. carrier groups, as do those
of allied navies.
Modern torpedoes cause damage by exploding beneath a ship, an impact that can break the
ship's back with dramatic effects.
Fortunately, no such torpedo has ever hit a ship the size of a U.S. supercarrier, although
the U.S. Navy did conduct a variety of tests on the hulked USS America in 2005.
Those tests, which may have involved underwater charges (of the sort that damaged USS Cole)
did not result in America's sinking; she was scuttled in the wake of the process.
The short answer is that no one knows how many modern torpedoes a U.S. carrier could
take before sinking, but we can estimate with little doubt that even a single torpedo would
cause extensive damage, and severely impede operations.
Cruise Missile In 1943, the Germans used a precision-guided
bomb to destroy the Italian battleship Roma.
Such bombs soon gave way to self-propelled cruise missiles, which could launch from aircraft,
ships, submarines, or surface installations.
During the Cold War, the Soviets developed a dizzying array of platforms for launching
cruise missiles at carrier strike groups, ranging from small patrol boats to massive
formations of strategic bombers.
Today, China, Russia and several other countries field a wide variety of cruise missiles capable
of striking U.S. carrier battle groups.
These missiles vary widely in range, speed and means of approach, but the most advanced
can fly at high (often supersonic) speeds while offering a very low radar profile.
As with torpedoes, the available evidence on the effectiveness of cruise missiles against
a modern supercarrier is virtually nil.
Much smaller ships have survived such hits, as have civilian tankers similar in size to
CVN-78.
Nevertheless, even a nonfatal cruise missile hit would probably result in severe damage
to the flight deck, impeding or completely stopping flight operations.
Ballistic Missile The most important development in carrier-killing
technology over the last decade has been the antiship ballistic missile (ASBM).
The Chinese Df-21 has the potential to strike American carriers from heretofore unrealizable
ranges, and threatens to penetrate existing defense systems.
The missile can maneuver in its terminal phase, targeting a moving carrier on a high-velocity
final approach.
The kinetic energy alone of the weapon could inflict devastating damage on a flight deck,
putting a carrier out of action if not sinking it entirely.
The development of the Df-21 has forced the U.S. Navy to significantly step up its ballistic-missile
defense efforts.
However, the ability of a U.S. task force to manage a large barrage of ASBMs is in great
question; more than anything else, the development of the ASBM has forced the U.S. Navy to reconsider
the role of the carrier in high-intensity warfare.
Cost Overrun The new Ford class (CVN-78) carriers cost
somewhere around $13 billion, a price that does not include the air wing.
With a contingent of F-35Cs, F/A-18E/Fs and various support aircraft, the price of an
individual carrier is simply staggering, and the numbers go higher when accounting for
the escort group that a carrier requires.
Although the per-unit cost will go down as more ships are acquired, the Fords take so
long to build that each new ship will need to incorporate a host of new technologies,
just as with the Nimitz class.
The tolerance for large defense expenditure in the United States has varied considerably
over the past three decades.
The Trump administration has combined a fondness for increased spending with a grand strategy
of retrenchment, an odd pairing.
If retrenchment takes hold, then generating enthusiasm for defense spending may become
increasingly difficult.
And at some point, the military utility of an aircraft carrier may become literally irrelevant,
relative to the cost of building, maintaining and effectively deploying the ship and its
air wing.
Excess of Caution Maybe China and Russia don't need to kill
a carrier to drive the species to extinction.
All of the factors above—the weapon systems that can kill carriers, and the costs associated
with the ships themselves—come together to create caution about how to use the ships.
In the event of a conflict, U.S. Navy admirals and the U.S. president may grow so concerned
about the vulnerability of carriers that they don't use them assertively and effectively.
The extraordinary value of the carriers may become their greatest weakness; too valuable
to lose, the carriers could remain effectively on the sidelines in case of high-intensity,
peer-competitor conflict.
And if aircraft carriers can't contribute in the most critical conflicts that face the
United States, it will become impossible to justify to the resources necessary to their
construction and protection.
That, more than anything else, will lead to obsolescence, and the end of the aircraft
carrier as the currency of national power.
Do these factors mean that the aircraft carrier has become obsolete as a platform?
No.
China and Russia have worked relentlessly on ways to kill aircraft carriers because
they perceive those ships as critical security threats.
Moreover, China and Russia have developed the array of systems they now deploy because
aircraft carriers have good answers to many of these weapons.
Finally, China has embarked on its own carrier program; the PLAN will soon operate the second-largest
carrier force in the world.
Nevertheless, aircraft carriers face real dangers from advanced military technology.
The greatest threat, though, probably comes from the procurement process; unless the United
States can restrain cost growth in the carrier and its air wing, the ships will struggle
to retain their place in the overall architecture of U.S. defense policy.

Sonic® | Bourbon BBQ Dunked Ultimate Chicken Sandwich Review! 🥃🐔 - Duration: 5:14.
hey guys it's Ian K for peep this out back again with another one for ya this time
headed over to Sonic America's drive-in because they've got a trio of all-new
dunked chicken sandwiches on the menu right now and given that I know you guys
saw the title to this review I think you know which one I'm going in on so let's
do just that yeah peep this out let me go for the bourbon bbq dunked
chicken sandwich please oh no just a sandwich by itself that's fine
you got it that's it great thank you so they've also got a
garlic parmesan as well as the classic Buffalo version of this sandwich and I
almost did get that garlic parmesan because I'm a fan of that but guys it is
the summertime so I had to do the bbq I mean wouldn't you hey how you doin'
hi welcome my name is blanca it was the ultimate dunked chicken the bbq one you got it it's gonna be $7.06
awesome thanks any condiments oh no just plenty of napkins please thanks
okay it's bbq sauce you got to have napkins right awesome thanks so much
have a good one alright is this gonna be a slam dunk in flavor let's peep this out
here we go with one of the latest here at Sonic America's drive-in the all-new
bourbon bbq ultimate chicken sandwich and right off the bat we've got
that shiny brioche bun which seems to be all the rage at most of the fast-food
places these days let's pop the top and see what we've got here a very drenched
looking chicken fillet guys and I have to say this is my first time having the
chicken here at Sonic and that is a pretty thick piece of meat that they
give you here it looks really good and it does look like it's coated pretty
well as you guys can see by the sauce on the very top of the bun as well as on
the fillet itself here underneath it it looks like we've got some of those deli
style pickles that are sticking out there along with some onions a generous
portion of both of those it looks like they're not too bad overall to add a
little bit of crunch a little bit of acidity I'm sure but really really a
thick piece of meat guys and I'm definitely done with the whole
summertime theme of this particular one but there you go it's the all-new
bourbon bbq ultimate chicken sandwich here at Sonic let's peep out
this flavor try the new dunked ultimate chicken sandwich this is how you Sonic
there's a nice little hint of barbecue sweetness in the air guys and I'm
absolutely diggin that on top of the look of the dark bbq sauce itself
not bad it's the bourbon bbq ultimate dunked
chicken sandwich here at Sonic hmm wow that is a rich and sweet bbq sauce as
I think you'd probably expect bourbon bbq sauce to be it's not really
like grit your teeth sweet but it'll definitely get you right in the very
back over here with the amount of sweetness that it's got I do like the
breading on the chicken itself but I do have to say the chicken on its own is a
little on the dry side but then again it is white meat but the bbq sauce is
helping in the moisture department and the pickles and the onions are adding
some nice snap let's keep going you really can't go wrong with some sweet
bbq sauce on a lightly breaded chicken breast guys it really goes very
very nicely here the bun though is a little on the smashed side so it's really
just holding things together it's not really fluffy it's decent but I'm glad
that it's doing its part because there's plenty of bbq sauce on this and the
pickles and the onions on the bottom again adding some nice crunch to it
overall it's just a very very tasty chicken sandwich even if the meat itself
is a little on the dry side but I'm still diggin' it you know I gotta say
for me personally I think the sandwich could benefit with a little bit more
tangy nice added to that bbq sauce maybe a little bit of spice even because
the sweetness although it's not crazy high it definitely feels a little
sweeter than normal for me and that's but again I really think a little bit
more tanginess a little bit more spiciness would have gone a long way to
really take this one up a notch considering the type of meat that it's
using I mean guys a thick chicken breast with some spicy barbecue sauce on top of
that I think that would have gone a long way
one more shot of a chicken breast on the inside guys they definitely don't skimp
on the amount of meat in the sandwich for sure but I do wish that it was just
a little bit juicier on its own but as it stands it is very very tasty because
of the thickness so I think you'll enjoy this if you've got a hearty appetite but
that's just my $.02 on one of these all new dunked ultimate chicken
sandwiches here at Sonic but what do you guys think does this one at least
look to deliver at least in the presentation of it and if you've had it
already what do you think of the overall flavor for what they're pushing with
this version of it drop those comments down below and definitely let me know
and that's for the overall score I'm going to have to give the bourbon
bbq ultimate dunked chicken sandwich here at Sonic America's drive-in a decent
7.5 out of 10 it's a good first outing over here at Sonic from my
first experience having one of their chicken sandwiches but I got to say the
sweetness of the bbq sauce needed just a little bit extra for me and the
price point guys I gotta tell you is definitely up there I mean a little over
$7.00 after-tax with no fries in a drink that's asking a lot
still it's a hearty chicken sandwich and if I was driving by a sonic with no other restaurants around
I might swing on by and get this one again and I emphasize the word might
just saying and those are my thoughts on this one as I close out another episode
of peep this out guys and like I always say I've got new content every single
week here on my channel so while you stay tuned for the next review coming
real soon in the meantime stay frosty
man filming in-car food reviews and 100 plus
degree weather here on the west coast guys you gotta love it you know now
that I think about it maybe I'm glad this bbq sauce had no spice in it I
don't know if I could've endured it but I definitely would've tried 'cuz I
love you guys alright until next time I'll talk to you soon
you

Meaning of "in a pickle" [ ForB English Lesson ] - Duration: 2:57.
Hi, everyone!
Welcome back to another lesson here at ForB's English.
I'm Gabriella and in today's lesson, we're looking at a new type of English phrase.
The phrase is "in a pickle".
Do you know what this means?
Let's take a look at a sample conversation using this expression.
So person A says "I'm in a pickle."
Person B says "Why? What happened?"
Person A replies "My car just broke down on the motorway."
Person B says "Oh no! Where are you now?"
OK. So the expression "to be in a pickle" does not just mean food,
so usually "a pickle" is a vegetable that is soaked in vinegar and it's usually kept in a jar.
However, the meaning comes from being stuck in a situation.
It means to be in a difficult situation.
So just imagine being trapped or stuck in a jar of pickles, but it's a real-life situation.
So in the example conversation, the person is stuck on the motorway;
they have broken down, so this is a difficult situation.
They cannot move and they need to go somewhere.
So person A called person B and said, "I'm in a pickle."
It also is a way to ask for help or maybe if you need some advice,
you can say "I'm in a pickle."
So it can also be used to make a difficult decision, to describe making a difficult decision.
I'm in a pickle.
I don't know what to do.
Should I do this or should I do that?
So let's practice this phrase together.
Please repeat after me.
In a pickle.
In a pickle.
So let's practice this sample conversation together.
I will be B, so you will be A. Are you ready?
OK. Person A.
Why, what happened?
Oh no! Where are you now?
Excellent.
Good job.
Well done.
Keep practicing.
I'm Gabriella.

Hot n New-TIS & Dropstars Week Day 6: Dropstars 645MB 20x10 -19 - Duration: 4:44.
- Hey guys its Shawn with Custom Offsets.
It is Dropstars Off Road week.
Every other day this week,
we're going to do a hot new
on one of these wheels and show it off to you
so you can get up close and personal
and see each of the Dropstars.
Some of them are hot, some of them are new.
We are also still hooking guys up with these shirts.
Remember if you buy one of these shirts,
you could win a set of these Dropstars wheels
so hopefully you're seeing this before they're all gone
because they are going super fast.
Once they're gone, they're gone.
We're not getting anymore and
the drawing will be at the end of the month.
So I hope you guys enjoy the rest of this week,
and we'll be bringing you one of these bad boys
every other day.
(opening music)
Hey guys, it's Shawn with Customer Offsets.
It's going to be our final day of Dropstars week
but we saved the flagship for last.
So when I think of Dropstars,
it's pretty much this wheel.
It's the 645MB and this one's been around
for a little while.
I think this was one of the first wheels
to come out with a big, huge lip on it
and that's probably why I know it
and remember it so much.
It's got over a six inch lip
which is pretty typical of your 12 wide
but this is a 10 wide so that's why
it really stands out.
This wheel is a 20 by 10, -25 offset,
and you heard me right,
it's a six and about an eighth inch lip
between the spokes and then out in front of that spoke,
it's still sitting at four and three quarter
so that is a huge lip for a 10 inch wide wheel.
And this is one of the first ones to really do that.
The way they're doing that,
they're coming out with the spoke and
then they're diving straight back and
any time they can do that and
still get away with a good, clean looking wheel
that doesn't have a big bubbly face to it
that's when you create this giant lip
and that's what these guys did right off the bat.
You see that it's a split-spoke design all the way around
but it's got this extra split coming out here
which just gives it a lot of character.
And this is all going to be machined
and that's your BM, your black machine,
and then you'll see it's got the machine rivets
going all the way around the outside as well.
And you'll see that the rest of this
is going to be a gloss black,
along with the cap is gloss black
with the chrome Dropstars logo
and it's going to have
a covered cap on this one.
So this wouldn't be one to run
the spiked lug nuts.
It's got the covered cap.
And then the sizes it'll come in will be
17 by nine, 18 by nine, 20 by nine, and the 20 by 10
and I'm sorry, -19, I think I said -25.
This huge lip is really messing with me
because it's even more amazing that it's a -19
and it's got that much lip on it
but I just measured it again and it's still there.
It really happened.
So it's going to have the clear-coated machine face
and then the other color that this is going to come in,
it's going to have the PBD Chrome so
the chrome which is the powder coat
and then I believe I saw an all black too.
This is the most popular color
as far as I know, that I've seen people running.
Yeah, and then there's going to be an all black
and with that one they're going to do
more of a semi-gloss matte or
I'm sorry a matte black and then
they're going to keep the machine rivets
going all the way around it and
then obviously the matte center cap
with the chrome logo and that is pretty much it.
As far as pricing, these are going to be a killer price.
You're basically going to get into these
in that low to medium range,
I believe even more towards the lower cost side.
Yeah, you're under 1000 bucks for a set of four of them
and that's pretty good so a full machined wheel
and all of the frills and thrills that come with that one
so there's your 645MB.
I want to make sure I said that right.
Yeah, it's still right.
Memory loss.
It's the 645MB and this is going to wrap up
Dropstars week.
If you haven't gotten a chance to snag
one of these shirts for your chance to win
a set of the Dropstars wheels,
make sure you get out there ASAP
and snag one up because they are
pretty much gone by the time you're seeing this
based on what we're seeing so far.

I think you'd probably expect bourbon bbq sauce to be it's not really
like grit your teeth sweet but it'll definitely get you right in the very
back over here with the amount of sweetness that it's got I do like the
breading on the chicken itself but I do have to say the chicken on its own is a
little on the dry side but then again it is white meat but the bbq sauce is
helping in the moisture department and the pickles and the onions are adding
some nice snap let's keep going you really can't go wrong with some sweet
bbq sauce on a lightly breaded chicken breast guys it really goes very
very nicely here the bun though is a little on the smashed side so it's really
just holding things together it's not really fluffy it's decent but I'm glad
that it's doing its part because there's plenty of bbq sauce on this and the
pickles and the onions on the bottom again adding some nice crunch to it
overall it's just a very very tasty chicken sandwich even if the meat itself
is a little on the dry side but I'm still diggin' it you know I gotta say
for me personally I think the sandwich could benefit with a little bit more
tangy nice added to that bbq sauce maybe a little bit of spice even because
the sweetness although it's not crazy high it definitely feels a little
sweeter than normal for me and that's but again I really think a little bit
more tanginess a little bit more spiciness would have gone a long way to
really take this one up a notch considering the type of meat that it's
using I mean guys a thick chicken breast with some spicy barbecue sauce on top of
that I think that would have gone a long way
one more shot of a chicken breast on the inside guys they definitely don't skimp
on the amount of meat in the sandwich for sure but I do wish that it was just
a little bit juicier on its own but as it stands it is very very tasty because
of the thickness so I think you'll enjoy this if you've got a hearty appetite but
that's just my $.02 on one of these all new dunked ultimate chicken
sandwiches here at Sonic but what do you guys think does this one at least
look to deliver at least in the presentation of it and if you've had it
already what do you think of the overall flavor for what they're pushing with
this version of it drop those comments down below and definitely let me know
and that's for the overall score I'm going to have to give the bourbon
bbq ultimate dunked chicken sandwich here at Sonic America's drive-in a decent
7.5 out of 10 it's a good first outing over here at Sonic from my
first experience having one of their chicken sandwiches but I got to say the
sweetness of the bbq sauce needed just a little bit extra for me and the
price point guys I gotta tell you is definitely up there I mean a little over
$7.00 after-tax with no fries in a drink that's asking a lot
still it's a hearty chicken sandwich and if I was driving by a sonic with no other restaurants around
I might swing on by and get this one again and I emphasize the word might
just saying and those are my thoughts on this one as I close out another episode
of peep this out guys and like I always say I've got new content every single
week here on my channel so while you stay tuned for the next review coming
real soon in the meantime stay frosty
man filming in-car food reviews and 100 plus
degree weather here on the west coast guys you gotta love it you know now
that I think about it maybe I'm glad this bbq sauce had no spice in it I
don't know if I could've endured it but I definitely would've tried 'cuz I
love you guys alright until next time I'll talk to you soon
you

Meaning of "in a pickle" [ ForB English Lesson ] - Duration: 2:57.Hi, everyone!
Welcome back to another lesson here at ForB's English.
I'm Gabriella and in today's lesson, we're looking at a new type of English phrase.
The phrase is "in a pickle".
Do you know what this means?
Let's take a look at a sample conversation using this expression.
So person A says "I'm in a pickle."
Person B says "Why? What happened?"
Person A replies "My car just broke down on the motorway."
Person B says "Oh no! Where are you now?"
OK. So the expression "to be in a pickle" does not just mean food,
so usually "a pickle" is a vegetable that is soaked in vinegar and it's usually kept in a jar.
However, the meaning comes from being stuck in a situation.
It means to be in a difficult situation.
So just imagine being trapped or stuck in a jar of pickles, but it's a real-life situation.
So in the example conversation, the person is stuck on the motorway;
they have broken down, so this is a difficult situation.
They cannot move and they need to go somewhere.
So person A called person B and said, "I'm in a pickle."
It also is a way to ask for help or maybe if you need some advice,
you can say "I'm in a pickle."
So it can also be used to make a difficult decision, to describe making a difficult decision.
I'm in a pickle.
I don't know what to do.
Should I do this or should I do that?
So let's practice this phrase together.
Please repeat after me.
In a pickle.
In a pickle.
So let's practice this sample conversation together.
I will be B, so you will be A. Are you ready?
OK. Person A.
Why, what happened?
Oh no! Where are you now?
Excellent.
Good job.
Well done.
Keep practicing.
I'm Gabriella.

#ANTONIO CONTE is reportedly set to land Alex Sandro with a £61million bid - Duration: 4:55.
ANTONIO CONTE is reportedly set to land Alex Sandro with a £61million bid
ANTONIO CONTE is reportedly set to land Alex Sandro with a £61million bid. The Chelsea boss wants FOUR more signings and is prepared to pay a world-record fee for a defender to land the Juventus ace.
Alex Sandro is poised to finally move to Chelsea before the end of the window.
Antonio Conte is now stepping up his world record pursuit of the Juventus left-back. The Blues have already had at least one bid rejected by the Italian champions this summer.
But, according the The Times, Conte is now poised for a raid on his former club which would see the Brazilian international finally heading for Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea paid £23m last summer to land Marcos Alonso from Fiorentina, with the Spaniard going on to become one of the stars of their title-winning season. Conte wants competition for places as Blues return to the Champions League after a season away.
He has signed £65m Real Madrid star Alvaro Morata, Tiemoue Bakayoko from Monaco for £40m, Antonio Rudiger in a £34. 2m deal from Roma and Willy Caballero on a free.
He is considering a £50m swoop for English duo Ross Barkley and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to bolster his midfield ranks.
Alex Sandro, who has won seven caps, in action for Brazil against Australia.
Juve boss Max Allegri wants to keep Sandro in Turin. And Alonso says hes not prepared to give up his left-back berth without a fight.
Ahead of Blues friendly with Inter Milan in Singapore on Saturday, he said: This is Chelsea. We play in four competitions this year, so many games and competition can only be good for me and for the team, that's it.
"I will just keep training, keep improving, keep doing well for the team and keep fighting. Alonso struggled at Bolton earlier in his career and also had a brief spell at Sunderland where he played 16 times on loan from Fiorentina.
When Conte swooped for him last year he was not expected to be one of the key players in a title triumph.
He said: "I had happy memories of England before, definitely. "I had too many injuries and couldn't play regularly when I was at Bolton but I grew so much as a player.
"Not just on the pitch, also as a person. Also very good memories from Sunderland.
"It was a good six months from arriving at Christmas when the team was bottom of the table to do a great six months and play in the final of the League Cup.
"They are always good memories and I wanted to come back to the Premier League as it is the best league in the world and I'm very happy to play for Chelsea now.
Blues left-back Marcos Alonso says he will not give up his short without a fight. Sandro could take time to get used to Conte's system, while Conte knows Alonso has slotted into it perfectly.
He said: "I wasn't straight into the team. I had some weeks of training to get used to the way the manager wanted to play. "It is not only Chelsea, it's an old Italian system that worked very well last year.
Alonso got his hands on the Premier League trophy as a champions last season. "It's normal that other teams are trying to play like this depending on the players you have.
"It's good to play in different ways. We are working on new things this year to improve as a team. That's one of the main things for us. "I'm happy for last season but this season has to be better.
"I don't remember about last season already – it's forgotten.
