It's amazing to think of how large carriers have gotten, when you realize that the Wasp class is slightly larger than an Essex fleet carrier from WW2.

@cruisinguy6024 22 күн бұрын

Very much so. Even though they’re seldom counted as carriers the amphibs are more capable and larger than what other countries have to offer. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up developing a light attack / escort carrier as a fleet multiplier and as a trade off in hostile areas instead of risking the super carriers, I’m envisioning something akin to the UKs Queen Elizabeth class but nuclear powered, angled deck, and catapults which are things they removed from the design to cut costs.

@wrenchinator9715 22 күн бұрын

@@cruisinguy6024 That's basically what we have already here, and what the WW2 escort carriers were for. They were able to park themselves off them and fly dive bombers and somewhat outmoded fighters in support of troops ashore, freeing up fleet carriers to go after the Japanese fleet. Except for that one time when they and a bunch of destroyers/destroyer escorts took on the Yamato and won.

@cruisinguy6024 22 күн бұрын

@@wrenchinator9715 I'm thinking of something between these and the 11 supercarriers, but still capable of launching E-2 Hawkeyes and Hornets plus a theoretical fixed wing ASW aircraft which we will certainly need in a peer / near peer conflict. The ambibs simply don't have the force projection let alone ASW capability like the 11 big boys do, not to mention they're not nuclear powered and don't have catapults or arresting gear. Really a nuclear QEII class would be a good platform. Basically, many experts believe we need more carriers. For every 1 deployed carrier there's 2 back home so we can only deploy 3 or 4 at a time. Considering in a peer / near peer conflict we're likely to lose 2 right off the bat that puts the US Navy in a huge bind especially given the limited shipyard capacity. A new class of intermediate carriers would add significant capabilities without the extreme cost of the super carriers. Hell, they could even be turbine powered like the QEII class to save money but of course nukes would be ideal.

I was on the USS Makin Island, an LHD-8 wasp class ship. I was a motor T operator, and most of the time, I was moving trucks in the well deck, getting them on and off the LCACs. That was a lot of my job, but I also got to fly on V-22s to get into different places, and on CH-53s. It was a good time and definitely the best part of my time in the Corps. Moving trucks around the well deck is one hell of a task. I would only put people I trusted in my trucks to move them around in such tight spaces. There are people around the well deck guiding you, but if you're not precise with the brake and gas, you could very easily hit something or someone. I saw some Marines who didn't have good throttle control try to climb up the ramp off the LCAC. They'd mash the gas to get going too fast, then have to stop, and repeat that all the way up the ramp. I always taught my guys how to modulate the gas pedal with very minor movements to keep a constant speed up the ramps and how to hold themselves in place on the ramp without using the brake pedal. I always loved teaching things like that to the Marines who were under me and watching them improve their driving skills.

I was deployed with a surgical team from San Diego to the Tarawa and then the Belleau Wood for the Iranian Crisis in 1981. I became a shellback on her just out of Diego Garcia. What a mess with all of the young Marines and us on that deck! My jeans were good and shot after that - along with my knees lol. It took a lot of time to get all of the mayonnaise and other unknown substances out of my hair as well. I'm looking at the framed certificate on the wall as I type. I was aboard for 90 days or so and will never forget the experience as the Harriers visited as well. Man are they loud. My hearing has not been the same since. It was a genuine honor and there was rarely a dull moment as there was plenty do do both on and off duty. It's hard to believe that such a huge vessel that served as home and host to so many people was sunk as a target and is now at the bottom of the sea. I guess it beats being scrapped. It must have been a sight to see those fireworks! Still, it's a bit of a heartbreak to know that she and so many ships and boats have gone on - like a home that has burned to the ground, they take ghosts with them. Thanks for your service, Chief. Really. From the heart.

Pretty sure my mouth was hanging open in amazement nearly the entire time - easily the biggest most complex machine I had ever been up close and personal with, and the amphibious component totally blew my mind. We even stayed onboard when she sailed out into the middle of the harbour to participate in the Royal sail-past. Still remember that the lunch we got onboard was terrible though lol, I was really puzzled that with all the fancy tech going on they still couldn't manage to cook salmon and rice on a setting other than "dessicate". I was too young to know the universal truths of bad military food yet lol.

"Infantry wins battles, logistics wins wars." --General John Pershing This should be the motto of this ship. I read a book talking about landing at Guadalcanal, The units going a shore needed typewriters, but they needed bullets blood and food too. Something along the lines of one typewriter needed to go ashore in the first wave to be used for communications with the fleet, you didn't need 20 of them, but you might need 20 pallets of bullets in the first wave and you probably don't need food for a day or two (they carry C-Rations) but you didn't have the room on the ship to sort things out while offloading. SO first on, last off is a true Tetris puzzle.

I'll be honest, I don't really like people saying which ship is more complex than another, in simpler terms, yes, an AAS ship is much more complex, if you look at more specifics, it's on par with the Aircraft carrier. Range isn't that great of a factor anymore with long range weapons that are in play currently such as Cruise missiles and non-nuclear SRBMs or IRBMs (Short-Range Ballistic Missiles and Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles) which, if they hit the right spots, can almost instantly disable an Aircraft carrier, or heavily slow it's operations. Aircraft launch and recovery in combat conditions can also be a very complex operation because, while what we see is only training, in actual total war conditions, you may be having to launch 20, 40, or even all 80 aircraft within a very short time frame, which then have to potentially group up for whatever their missions are, which even launching all 80 at once, that's including AWACS, ground attack, air dominance, electronic warfare, and many more that all have to, not only be launched, but coordinated, potentially in combination with another aircraft carrier or even an AAS ship. Destroyers and Cruisers don't have it easy either, they have to do a lot as well, but I won't get into that because that might double the length of this comment Basically, This ship doesn't make aircraft carriers look simple to me, they just, like carriers, submarines, destroyers and cruisers, are a cog in a much grander machine that is the US Armed Forces, and shows just how much planning goes into the designs of these ships. But that's just me voicing an opinion on the title, I like that more people are starting to bring attention to AAS ships that don't get much attention.

The highlight about the WASP's is that they provide the air support of a carrier whilst serving as fuel and supply hubs for forward operating surface ships like destroyers and coastguard cutters. A lot of people have this misconception that the USN and USMC superiority comes from technology, when in reality its how well they can setup logistic chains for combat operations. In combat, it's more important to be able to maintain a reliable presence more so than show off how advanced your technology is. Guns win battles, logistics wins wars.

This is so the thing that gets me in the feels: The logistics that moves and supports the pointy end of the stick I want spoiled marines, if not, it's the cold comfort of best medical facilities

Now there is a job I never thought of for the Navy...a weatherman. I mean, it makes sense but it's not something I ever thought about.

I was stationed on LHD6 from 2000-2004. I really enjoyed my time on there.

A question if you don't mind: What do the Marines do when the ship is floating around? Pushups and play xbox, or do they help out the Navy crew with maintenance?

@joeyindahl2593 22 күн бұрын

@@TurboHappyCar depends. A lot of the embarked marines are part of the flight crews and do maintenance and things like that . Infantry type people basically just worked out and cleaned their rifles until we ultimately got them to where they were going.

@@joeyindahl2593 You mean to say that Infantry just eat all the food and take up space. The ship would go from 1000 sailors up to 3000 with the marines on board. The chow line became like 20mins to like a 1hr. But I guess they helped with the working parties.

@@joeyindahl2593 Thanks for the reply. What kind of time duration would the infantry be embarked for? I can just imagine thousands of 18-20 year olds getting pretty rowdy being cooped up for too long.

The Tetris reference could also be applied to packing a backpack for backpacking. You not only need to make the best use of the available space but you need to keep the parts of the load balanced and assessable while keeping everything as light as possible.
