One of the largest warships in the world, she was laid down, launched, and commissioned as CVAN-68, "aircraft carrier, attack, nuclear powered", but she was later redesignated as CVN-68, "aircraft carrier, multi-mission, nuclear-powered", on 30 June 1975, as part of a fleet-wide realignment that year.</p>

Nimitz, USN, (1885–1966), who was the Navy's third fleet admiral. Nimitz had her homeport at Naval Station Norfolk until 1987, when she was relocated to Naval Station Bremerton in Washington (now part of Naval Base Kitsap). Following her Refueling and Complex Overhaul in 2001, her home port was changed to Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego County, California. The home port of Nimitz was again moved to Naval Station Everett in Washington in 2012.</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Source: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ_FBPgjFrPZc3JmomwDjnQ"><b>Sang Patriot</b></a></div>Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343576472608368634noreply@blogger.com0United States37.09024 -95.7128918.780006163821156 -130.869141 65.400473836178847 -60.556641tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300661992855076433.post-81991314845598230982022-01-14T09:13:00.000-08:002022-01-14T09:36:12.931-08:00The Untold Story Of How An F-35 & F-16 Waged A Mock Dogfight<p style="text-align: justify;">The Untold Story Of How An F-35 & F-16 Waged A Mock Dogfight.

The yield of strategic nukes can range from 100 kilotons to well into the megaton range, with the U.S. military’s largest weapon having a yield of 1.3 megatons (the equivalent of 1,200,000 tons of TNT). Tactical nuclear weapons are generally shorter range weapons with ranges of 500 miles or less, while strategic nuclear weapons are designed to cross entire oceans to strike targets on the other side of the planet.</div></div>Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343576472608368634noreply@blogger.com0United States37.09024 -95.7128918.780006163821156 -130.869141 65.400473836178847 -60.556641tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300661992855076433.post-2552985883707233912022-01-09T05:40:00.004-08:002022-01-09T05:40:33.077-08:00Finally: B-21 Raider Could Become a Drone Mothership<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T7ZJ9Mmrc9E" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><div><br /></div><div><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvU8o0rHVOIcRXFnfPQvIg">Popular Facts</a></b><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJvU8o0rHVOIcRXFnfPQvIg?sub_confirmation=1"><b>Popular Post</b></a></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Without peer at home and abroad, the F-35A fifth-generation stealth fighter is a bold assertion of American airpower in an increasingly unstable world.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>This History.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The fighter that became Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Lightning II had its early roots in the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program, a sweeping procurement effort intended to eventually phase out not only the aging F-16 Fighting Falcon but also the F/A-18 Hornet and F-117 Nighthawk.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Lockheed Martin was declared the winner of the general competition following the introduction of its X-35 prototypes. These prototypes were further tweaked in the early 2000s, with subtle but consequential changes to the stabilizers and fuselage, and re-designated as the F-35. Contrary to popular conception, the F-35 is actually a family of three closely related but fundamentally distinct fighters. The F-35A is the conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant that is being procured by the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The F-35B is a short takeoff and vertical landing (STOVL) variant meant to replace the Marine Corps’ fleet of Hornet fighters as they approach their projected sundown date of 2030. Finally, the F-35C is a catapult-assisted take-off but arrested recovery variant that is designed to operate from aircraft carriers as part of U.S. Carrier Strike Groups (CSGs).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Variants.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">USAF’s F-35A will be by far the most numerous of the three variants, as the Air Force plans to procure up to 1,763 such units through 2044. With 283 models currently in service, the F-35A is being serially produced at a remarkable pace. The Lightning II is already USAF’s second-most numerous fighter after the F-16. As more and more Fighting Falcons are phased out in coming years, it is only a matter of time until the F-35 becomes the Air Force’s most widely-owned fighter.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>What Makes the F-35 a Beast.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The F-35 is a fifth-generation, single-engine stealth multirole fighter, intended to perform both air superiority and strike missions. But the plane’s true operational versatility lies in its ability to seamlessly switch between configurations to match the threat level presented by the enemy’s air assets and defenses. The F-35 carries four AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles for air-to-air missions, or four AIM-120’s/GBU-31 JDAM “smart bombs” for air-to-ground missions, in its internal weapons bays. Lockheed Martin’s upcoming “Sidekick'' weapon rack, featured on Block IV F-35s, will allow the fighter to carry two additional AIM-120s for a total of six. This is the F-35A’s stealth loadout, one that minimizes its radar-cross section (which is believed to be comparable to that of a metal golf ball from the front) to allow for maximum stealth penetration potential in highly saturated “first day of war” environments when the enemy’s anti-air systems are still operating at full capacity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As the enemy’s airspace is progressively compromised through the ongoing degradation of hostile air defenses, the conflict enters into its “third day of war.” No longer under heightened threat, F-35 squadrons now have the option of sacrificing stealth performance to unleash their full payload capacity— consisting of over a dozen AIM-120 missiles, or six guided bombs and four more air-to-air missiles stored in internal and external bays— in a configuration previously referred to as “beast mode.”</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>The Quarterback.</b></p><p style="text-align: justify;">But raw offensive capabilities are only one part of what makes the F-35 one of the most sophisticated air power platforms of its time. With its vast suite of onboard sensors and powerful data processing software, the fighter can generate a dynamic picture of the battlefield and feed a portion of this information to nearby friendly units, playing what F-35 demonstration pilot Capt. Andrew “Dojo” Olson aptly called a “quarterback” in the sky. “When we go out there we’ve got tons of gas, we can hang out for a long time and we can paint the battlespace for everybody.</p>

<p><span style="text-align: justify;">Despite the proposed advantages of the average aircraft carrier, the disadvantages of the smallest platform finally made it unattractive. The benefits of larger vessels were so important that, as you could pay larger boats, the Navy would continue buying.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The ten nuclear superfers of the Navy of the United States are the greatest wars of the War on the High Seas. Home to more than five thousand sailors and sailors, Nimitz class carriers are nuclear propulsion and can transport a combat aircraft of 3 eighty and Dix. However, it should not be this way: I would have taken the sailor another mistake in several decades ago in several decades ago, the gigantic boats would have been completed with smaller and more profitable applications, the average aircraft carriers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During the Second World War, the US Navy. UU offered two types of carriers: fleet carriers and companion carriers. The main carriers included the main offensive shot of the fleet, a mixture of fighters, diving bombers and torpedo bombers. The companion carriers or "jeep" were a measure of strength savings, smaller glasses with smaller air wings designed to provide excessive transport transport and fleet conveyors when the largest ships worked elsewhere.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">After the war, the Navy has operated a range of carriers, carriers of full size fleets, such as the company of the United States, attack carriers and anti-republic carriers of the ESSEX class of war. Gradually, like older and smaller carriers, they were replaced by Supercarrières. A smaller carrier was not built and in the mid-1980s, almost all US marine carriers had at least a thousand feet long, with the exception of the United States Midway and the Coral Sea USS.</p><div><br /></div></div>Monsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07343576472608368634noreply@blogger.com0
