Burden of proof! I gave you a lot. You just won't back down and will keep writing. You don't even have a clue on the total strength of the USN vessels or which radars are there in addition to the SPY (which is a small piece of the puzzle). Nuff said! Let's stop being children please. This conversation has lost its value a long time ago!
You gave NOTHING of the sort. And for someone that keeps saying you're not going to respond no more, you sure keep responding a lot.
To business: I've never discussed the total number of ships in the USN or supporting services here. Fact is that I did mentioned the numbers for the CVNs, Arleigh Burke DDG and Ticonderoga CG classes, and for LHA/Ds. I also referred to both LCS classes. Kindly report what other combat ship classes than Tico and Burke serve as main escorts in carrier strike groups momentarily. Are you seriously suggesting I have magically missed any of the main surface combattant classes of the USN? Are you seriously suggesting I have no idea of the total size of the USN active and reserve fleets?
If you claim, as you do, that CSG typically consist of 30-35 combat ships, then you had better show where you get that info i.e. how one can verify whether your claim is accurate. Please do indicate the typicaly composition of such a group in terms of number of ships from what combat ships classes. I dare you.
There are all sorts of radar besides AN/SPY1 and AN/SPY-3. However, these are the main sensors of Tico and Burke classes, which carry the greatest burden of defending CVNs. If you suggest there are other far more capable systems, please show the courtesy to name the specific systems you are referring to. The fact that you don't is telling. Also, please indicate which shipmounted naval radar systems are not affected by earth curvature (i.e. have no limited radar horizon) in your
opinion. You keep suggesting I miss things while in reality you are not putting forward specifics such as what systems you are referring to and hence make empty, hollow claims, which cannot as such be independently veriefied by readers here.
So, YOU stop acting like a child.
YOUR posts have not added anything substantive to this discussion.
G'day.

CVN Nimitz class
CVN Gerald R. Ford class:
Integrated
Active electronically scanned array search and tracking radar system, a dual-band radar (DBR) developed for both the
Zumwalt-class guided missile destroyers and the
Ford-class aircraft carriers by Raytheon. The DBR works by combining the
X band AN/SPY-3 multifunction radar with the
S band Volume Search Radar (VSR) emitters, distributed into three
phased arrays. The S-band radar was later deleted from the Zumwalt class destroyers as a cost saving measure.
