The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Ford, the first ship of the Ford class, has become the U.S. Navy’s most powerful maritime combat weapon.
Recently, the Liaoning aircraft carrier formation went south to the western Pacific Ocean and was attacked by the U.S. destroyer and carrier strike group in three ways, which again drew attention to the U.S. aircraft carrier warfare. The land media had earlier lamented that the U.S. nuclear aircraft carrier warfare power “does not serve the line? The Chinese government has been making frequent moves in the South China Sea.
In early April, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt and the F-35C amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island met in the South China Sea in response to the Chinese Communist Party’s efforts to expand sovereignty in the disputed waters. In early April, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt and the F-35C amphibious assault ship USS Makin Island met in the South China Sea to respond to Chinese provocations.
At the same time, the Liaoning led a number of warships from the Miyako Strait to the South China Sea via the Pacific Ocean. The USS Muscatine, a destroyer, sailed from the waters near the mouth of the Yangtze River to monitor the Liaoning’s southward progress.
On April 7, the destroyer USS McCain (DDG 56) crossed the Taiwan Strait. Two U.S. destroyers were in Taiwan waters, one east and one west, in time to respond to the rising situation in the Taiwan Strait, and there should be a U.S. submarine underwater.
On April 9, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier fleet and the USS Maxine Island amphibious assault ship fleet quickly sailed to the Taiwan Strait after rehearsals in the South China Sea, while the Liaoning ship hurriedly headed north.
Some military experts estimate that the Liaoning feared that the USS Roosevelt carrier had copied her back and fled like a bird of prey, so she is expected to have returned.

On April 16, a Taiwanese media said that the Chinese Communist Party’s Liaoning ship has been moving a lot recently, but in terms of naval strength, the U.S. aircraft carrier USS Ford, the first ship of the Ford class, has undergone technical improvements and weapons testing as expected, and has become the U.S. Navy’s most powerful maritime combat weapon in the future. The warfare weapon of the sea.
The U.S. Navy’s official website disclosed in April last year that the U.S. Navy’s new generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the USS Ford, had completed testing of key combat systems in the Atlantic Ocean.
The aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean during the test of electromagnetic ejection, stealth aircraft landing and other new technologies, carrier protection, tracking air and ground facilities, as well as the identification of enemy radar systems, and all successfully passed the test, so that the aircraft carrier has a full range of operational capabilities such as leading the team to the sea.
The U.S. Pentagon also said at the time that the “USS Ford” aircraft carrier will give priority to equipping strategic missions, increasingly heavy U.S. Navy Atlantic Fleet, relying on its unique shipboard technology and equipment to deter potential adversaries such as China and Russia.
On April 8 last year, the land media Sina.com military watch column said that the “Ford” aircraft carrier, as the first ship of the Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, is the future replacement for the “Nimitz” class aircraft carriers of a more powerful class of large aircraft carriers, and is currently the world’s most expensive class of aircraft carriers. It is also the most expensive class of aircraft carriers in the world, with the cost of the first ship exceeding $13 billion.
The class aircraft carrier not only has a displacement of more than 100,000 tons, but is also equipped with a more powerful and flexible electromagnetic catapult system to spin nearly 60 stealthy F-35C stealth aircraft and MQ-25 “stingray” unmanned refueling aircraft, such as extremely advanced shipboard equipment and shipboard weapons.
According to the U.S. military plan, the U.S. Navy will build at least two aircraft carriers of this class in the next five years and complete the construction of 10 aircraft carriers of this class in 30 years, gradually replacing the 10 “Nimitz” class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service.
The land media reported that the United States has to admire the powerful naval research and development and manufacturing capabilities, just when other countries have or have the ability to build a conventional-powered aircraft carriers and excited, the U.S. military has the range and combat capabilities, more powerful nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, developed to the third generation!
The report also said that the U.S. military than other naval powers, threw away at least half a century distance, it is no wonder that the U.S. Navy claims that its three nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups can easily defeat the maritime combat forces of a medium-sized country, or even three carrier battle groups, it can win a large-scale local armed conflict, not convinced line?
