Slumping, and Cancerous, and Uncertified
US Navy carrier Ford CVN-78 where are U ??
@ChineseTiger1986 ,,
What a wonderful finding ChineseTiger1986 !!
Thousand Thanks to our Russian Brothers and Sisters in RT news
This must be said.
Many Russian Major media always defend PRC --
way more vigorously than the
CCTV, People Daily, and XinHua, or even PLA own media.
Why is this the case Chinese own major media are afraid and so weak toward the #1 enemy ??

Let me display the Slumping, and Cancerous, and Uncertified US Navy carrier Ford CVN-78
again in comparison to PLAN upcoming CV-17--001A and CV-18--002.
IMHO, ... ...
PLAN is wiser to install the EM cat on CV-17--001A waist asap to test it performance on the sea.
Why ?
Now that Self Serving Trump is in the whitehouse, and soon usa will be overwhelmed by
the domestic Anti-Trump Racial Riots that is getting more and more intense.
Thus, the chance of battle is much reduced in the western Pacific.
Pentagon report reveals. Delivery of the carrier is already well behind schedule.
The reliability issues are so serious that the $13-billion USS Gerald Ford,
hailed as the most technologically-advanced aircraft carrier ever built for the US Navy,
would have to undergo redesign or face poor deployment capabilities,
according to an internal Pentagon memo
“These four systems affect major areas of flight operations,” Michael Gilmore,
wrote to the Pentagon and Navy weapons buyers Frank Kendall and Sean Stackley.
Gilmore’s memo stated the carrier's AAG for snagging landing aircraft and her EM launch system,
both made by San Diego-based General Atomics, are experiencing
... ... still inadequate levels of reliability.”
can conduct only 400 launches between critical failures
– “well below the requirement” of 4,166 take-offs.
usa EM cat ( MTBF = Mean Time Between Failure ) = 400 take-offs
usa EM cat -- Launching Availability = 400 / 4,166 = 9.6 %
It means a
FAILURE rate = 90.4 %
wow, usn CVN-78 -- has 90.4 % -- FAILURE rate !!!
The arresting gear has the most serious failures and is “unlikely to
support high-intensity flight operations,” Gilmore stressed.
Its reliability “is well below expectations and well below what is needed to succeed in combat.”
Reliability of Raytheon's dual-band radar used for air traffic control as well as aircraft and missile defense
– literally, – is “unknown and untested,” the memo asserted. The system has never been fully tested at sea
and land. The previous land tests involved use of ... ...
software ... ... still under development.
The Raytheon testing Software is ... ... still under development in NOV 2016.
Pause and think about that for a moment.

It is unbelievable that
americese Taxpayers and the
usa Pentagon can be
so dumb and so dim witted
and while
beating their stupid collective chests and spent = 1
3 billion usd on this
garbage carrier.
How dare they compete with PRC efficiency and Speed and rising Cutting Edge Performances ?
No wonder, 95% americese and 95% Indians
hate intensity on Chinese and PRC
are
going Ballistic and
Blasting Off the Roof.
@Beast ,, are you reading this ?

Let's see -- who will be the 1st nation -- to be able to deploy
24 hours Naval Linking and
Swarming Drones warfare in the western Pacific and
Bay of Bengals.
I am totally aware that many Indians -- are betting on the ( Doomsday Trump USA ) to be the 1st.
