Isnt this the turd which electric catapult that will break down just after 3 launches?
This 'turd' is still far better than all the turds being built in China's docks.Isnt this the turd which electric catapult that will break down just after 3 launches?![]()

USS Gerald R. Ford: When New Subsystems Do Better Than The Ship
After a long and thankless struggle to get EMALS, a groundbreaking electromagnetic launch system, headed in the right direction, the Navy deserves to fully exploit the potential of this—and other—hard-won and working high-tech components of America’s new aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford.www.forbes.com
Does a US carrier have the capability to defend itself from China's anti - carrier weapon? DF 21?![]()
... just in case the carrier ever needs to be in South China Sea?It only has a range of 1300 miles. Why would we need to defend against it?

Seems like F 35 range is less than 1500 miles. So I think that is possible that carrier may have to get within range of this missile during wartime.During wartime? Why?
Most ships are not much faster than those in WW2...meanwhile jets can fly at close to 1800 miles an hour. You'd certainly want time to react so you aren't going to get much closer than that.
Technically speaking, I can call a fly swatter a 'carrier killer'.Does a US carrier have the capability to defend itself from China's anti - carrier weapon? DF 21?![]()
Yes they doDoes a US carrier have the capability to defend itself from China's anti - carrier weapon? DF 21?![]()
I think it is possible that China will launch multiple missiles in quick succession to strike a carrier. Perhaps some of 'em could have ECCM capability. It would be interesting if that is possibleTechnically speaking, I can call a fly swatter a 'carrier killer'.
But seriously, the issue is whether the missile can counter the countermeasures the carrier and its fleet already have. In order for the DF missile to work as China advertised, the carrier would have to sit still and literally do nothing. But the moment the carrier starts to move and its escorts begin countermeasures, the probability of kill (pk) also begins to move away from %100. China claimed that the DF can hit a moving target. Fine. But what if that moving target is below an EM/IR umbrella that is literally thousands of km square area?
Most people thinks the fleet combat formation is this...

But it is not possible to take a picture of the real combat array, so we have this representation...

We are looking at every escort created an EM/IR field to interrupt sensor targeting from any airborne aircraft and missile.
