        Because he is realizing that Israel is facing much more difficulty than ever. Asymmetric drones and cheap rockets versus super expensive iron dome, 2 billion Muslims on earth, +45 million Muslims in europe, more muslins in USA , less Israel supporters outside of boomers. Ben was at least smart enough to see how stupid policies and trends are but now its clearer. Israel attacking into Gaza is no longer a winning strategy and will create huge long term blowback. The war for Israel is tough already.

        Just strategically it's probably occuring more and more to hard liners that the aggressive actions and harsh revenge is self defeating in the long run because of optics and changing opinion. So the last key pillar is their nuclear arsenal and threatening with it.

        Each ship is probably equivalent to two Iron Done batteries. The standard loadout is probably 16 VLS with quad-packed ESSM missiles. That leaves 74-80 cells with some combination of Tomahawks, SM-2 SM-3, SM-6. Safe to say each ship has a combination of SAMs exceeding 100. Don't forget they also move and have massive countermeasures.

The person writing wrote down what "must have" sounds like in day to day speech, indicating that he's familiar with the phrase on a verbal level, but doesn't know how to translate it to the correct written English. While possible, it's unlikely and esl would make that kind of mistake because they won't hear the connected speech of native English speakers very often.

      Hizbollah have C-802s. From when the Houthis fired the same type of missile at the destroyer outside the coast of Yemen, we know that the standard missiles and Nulka are effective against them. So given that they fired two per incoming missile and the decoys are effective at stopping failed interceptions, you probably need at least ~30-40 AShMs per ship to be certain of hitting it.

    I guess a storm could feasibly sink it. Or they get rammed by one of the woman-led escorts.

    They tend not to put diversity hires in charge of the carriers though. Naval Aviation is like its whole separate branch to stay quarantined from the Department of the Navy's general pozzed atmosphere. Still, the rest of the Navy is so incompetent now with worthless blacks and women getting promoted rampantly for no reason other than their continued existence that I suppose a friendly fire incident is not out of the question.

      Big ships are slow. Everyone knows that.

      The speed of small boats is mostly based on the sea state and their draft assuming a normal engine. In open ocean water where waves can be normally 10-20 feet, a small boat with basically no draft can't go at full speed much less stay afloat. A 100,000 ton carrier with a draft of 50 feet would have no problem going at 30+ knots in heavy state waves of 20 feet.

      But in the med and Persian gulf, small boats can operate with little issues and as long as they can actually find the carrier, can be dangerous.

          Nope. The only thing that has the precision required is laser guided ATGMs and in order to get munitions on those targets you're within 5"/38 range and the launch vehicle is getting plastered, the missile will loose the laser lock and the attack won't go through.

              Radar lights them up and they get plastered at the horizon line with 5" VT spam from radar guided fire control. There simply isn't the precision nor discrimination required to hit those targets.

              Longbow Hellfires are F&F. You might not be able to snipe the fire control radar with just one, but a full volley of them is from 10 Apaches is gonna mission kill the battleship, and at that point it's just a matter of shooting enough HE at the deck to keep fires burning and crew dying even setting aside the ability to rearm for a second round to try and punch through the deck to something vital.

              They have a max range of 11km a 5"/38 can punch out to 16 they wouldn't make it to firing range if they wanted to try and get close and flying high for extra range is going to get them shot down

                And the pK of AA guns at that range is fricking miserable if you've looked up the stats. I'm too lazy to go dig through again to find where they broke down hit percentages by range, but the fire rate of a 5inch was ~9rpm and they needed an average of 350 VT shells to hit a target that was flying in a much more predictable manner and would be closing to a much more attainable range. The Iowas had 20 5inch guns, and at 9RPM, if all of them are capable of firing which I'm pretty sure isn't the case unless the Apaches go for a 360 degree surround instead of approaching from the same side, you'd average 1 kill per two minutes they're in range, while they're able to close the distance from max range of the 5 inch guns to a the range of the Hellfires within 1 minute flying at ~200 mph. Going off of the very rough estimations, that's probably 1 to 2 dead Apaches to completely mission kill the battleship, depending on luck.

                so the helicopters flying in a straight line at maximum speed are a harder target to hit than an airplane doing the same thing?
                they'd get wienersmacked. because the pK goes up as the get closer, maneuver less, and have to slow down to fire. all.the while the 5"/38s are walking in their fire.

                11km is twice the firing range of an aerial torpedo which was the most standoff of WWII plane attack methods, and the absolute garbage estimation of pK that chart provides has no range dependency, so unless you think that all planes killed by 5 inch guns were in that extreme range and not once they closed to actually fire, which the actual data shows, a single battleship doesn't have enough throw rate to kill more then 1 Apache before they're in launch range for the Hellfires.

                it also includes all shots fired at crossing and maneuvering, and high altitude targets which the apache are effectively incapable of being. it's likely that with modern radar directed laying the pK would be substantially better against apaches, them being slower, less maneuverable by far, lower altitude and having to slow to fire their weapons.

                Anon, the chart specifically denotes VT vs conventional ammo, with conventional having ~ twice the RPK.

                it also includes all shots fired at crossing and maneuvering, and high altitude targets which the apache are effectively incapable of being. it's likely that with modern radar directed laying the pK would be substantially better against apaches, them being slower, less maneuverable by far, lower altitude and having to slow to fire their weapons.

                If the Iowa has been modernized with modern radar, they also have a suite of AA missiles that would actually be effective at dealing with some choppers instead of relying on a flak screen, so the thought experiment has always been centered around a WWII era ship. I also have no idea why you think a Apache has to slow to fire a Longbow at range since it's working purely off a radar lock, and unlike a WWII plane, the guided munitions means that the chopper can approach at a slant and not have to nose point at the ship which means you're making deflection shots instead of them flying into the shells.

            Longbow Hellfires are F&F. You might not be able to snipe the fire control radar with just one, but a full volley of them is from 10 Apaches is gonna mission kill the battleship, and at that point it's just a matter of shooting enough HE at the deck to keep fires burning and crew dying even setting aside the ability to rearm for a second round to try and punch through the deck to something vital.

                Good luck hitting a target moving laterally at 2km without radar FC if the Apaches have to use their chainguns and can't go pick up another load of Hellfires to keep blasting every last AA emplacement with impunity. Even proxy fuses aren't going to make that a doable task, especially since the Apaches have night and thermal optics to come in when the AA would be trying to guide by the Mk1 eyeball.

                That's nice sweety, but helicopters don't have to move in a straight line at the target and can operate at night time because they have thermal optics and the battleship doesn't. I'm sure hitting targets that are sitting at 2 to 3km out while moving laterally and you can only see by flare rounds is a trivial task. After all, the IJN showed just how effective non-radar guided AA was :^)

    Combat Air Patrol would sink the majority of them before they even came within eyesight of the Carrier Strike Group. Accompanying destroyers and frigates would probably mop up the rest

    I know this isn't directly related to the thread, but figured someone might know.

    Why does the Ford not have F-35Cs? It's going into the Middle East with F/A-18Es, which are fine, but surely aren't going to compare with Israel's F-35As.

    I know the Navy has a squadron of F-35Cs operational, but they're assigned to the USS Carl Vinson.

    Is the Ford lacking some technical capability or does the navy just not think it's important? (or some other factor?).

      The F-35Cs are just there to replace the USN's remaining legacy Hornets that weren't already replaced by Super Hornets. The real Super Hornet replacement is the FA/XX that's currently in development.
