"It's Too Much" - Trump Criticizes Cost Of Aircraft Carrier Design; Promises Overhaul
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-05-28/its-too-.....s-overhaul Citat:President Trump again raised the issue during a tour of the USS Wasp on Tuesday, before the end of his four-day trip to Japan.
According to Bloomberg, Trump polled American troops stationed in Japan whether they preferred the old steam-powered catapults on American warships, or the new electromagnetic models. During the informal voice poll, the vote for steam was slightly louder, the reporter said. In the past, Trump has questioned whether the new electromagnetic system would work as well during wartime.
Trump u obilasku USS Wasp kod posete Japana i ispitivao vojnika šta je bolje stari parni katapult ili novi elektromagnetični?
Citat:Again on Tuesday, Trump hinted that he might issue an executive order to ensure that all future ships are built with steam.
"We’re spending all that money on electric and nobody knows what it’s going to be like in bad conditions," he said. "So I think I’m going to put an order - when we build a new aircraft carrier, we’re going to use steam."
Predsednik nije zadovoljan sa cenom i kaže niko nezna kako će raditi u lošim uslovima. Razmišlja da izda dekret da budu svi sledeći pod parom.
Navy's F-35C Stealth Fighters Won't Fly From Troubled New Ford Class Carriers For Years Citat:Members of Congress want to make it illegal for the U.S. Navy to accept delivery its next Ford-class aircraft carrier, the future USS John F. Kennedy, unless it can launch and recover F-35C Joint Strike Fighters. But the proposal highlights something that is perhaps more damning, that the USS Gerald R. Ford cannot deploy those stealthy aircraft in its present configuration. This just adds to the woes for the troubled first-in-class flattop two years after its delivery.

Ma, pajser. Pa upravo parni katapult ogranicava upotrebu NA na topla mora, odnosno ispod 60-65 stepeni sirine... Doduse, cena EMALSa je verovatno paprena, ali to je problem njihovog sistema, odnosno vojnoindustrijskog kompleksa, i njihove nenormalne gramzivosti... Ma, pajser na kub.
@Mlav
I ja sam sklon da kritikujem njihovu vojnu industriju i te ludačke cene ali kad realno sagledaš stvari njihova je ekonomija takva da su plate zaista neverovatno visoke. Zato im je i GDP ogroman, a kad pogledaš po paritetnoj kupovnoj moći padaju ispod Kine (u ukupnoj sumi naravno, ne po glavi). To je posebna životna filozofija, ogromne kuće, ogromni automobili svaka soba kupatilo, sve u marketima je u ogromnim pakovanjima, prosto preteruju u svemu i neracionalni su iz evropske perspektive. U takvom društvu razvoj i proizvodnja visoko-tehnoloških proizvoda jezivo je skupa. Ali skažem se, ima na sve to dodato i korupcije, masnih menadžerskih bonusa, monopola, duopola, lobiranja, pranja para i mužnje poreskih obveznika, al hvala bogu još uvek je dovoljno "saveznika" da ih stisneš za j*ja pa da bratski "podelite" te ludačke troškove. Reketiranje je još uvek vrlo unosan biznis.
^ Nisu troškovi toliko visoki koliko je nabijanje istih za ekstra profit sistemska korupcija. Kad bi DoD reklo snizite cenu ili kupujemo Evropsko, Izraelsko, J.Korejsko, Japansko... odma bi pale cene.
Ford set for sea trials Citat:The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford (CVN 78 ) completed a five-day pierside fast-cruise evolution on 23 October at the Huntington Ingalls Industries' Newport News Shipbuilding yard to help the ship prepare for sea trials scheduled for later this month, US Navy (USN) officials confirmed.
The fast cruise was a culminating training evolution designed to "bring Ford to life" after its 15-month post-shakedown availability (PSA), USN officials noted.
