While accepting that on some issues such as noise there were significant differences between ‘the contracted requirements and the Navy’s current operational requirements’, McIntosh and Prescott (1999) concluded that there were serious deficiencies in the design and manufacture of the submarines. Moreover the requirements and RAN’s expectations had changed since the specifications were established, due primarily to advances in technology. What the 1987 contract laid down was not what the Navy wanted by 1997, yet under a fixed-price

After completing the entry of a package of six Russian kilos on January 20, 2017, Vietnam has officially become a member of the "submarine club". With the existing six submarines, Vietnam's ability to defend and control territorial waters has increased significantly. However, with the topographic features of the South China Sea, kilos can not work effectively in certain areas such as estuaries, bays or islands, this is necessary for the purpose of Vietnam's sea defense in the current geopolitical situation. So, sooner or later, the second submarine brigade, that is based on high mobility mini submarine that replenishing the existing six Kilos, must be established . This paper will demonstrate that mini submarines are

To be sure, a surprise strategic Chinese attack is a valuable worst-case scenario to study, but protracted multi-dimensional U.S.-China competition for Pacific influence—akin to the contemporary era—is arguably more likely and, thus, a more sensible scenario against which to wargame. Also, despite its plausible portrayal of a localized insurgency, the novel stops short of depicting mass civil unrest elsewhere and social stability considerations that would almost certainly accompany a future world war. Nonetheless, Ghost Fleet’s technical narrative provides ample realistic content for today’s security and defense officials to balance and refine tomorrow’s warfare strategies. Singer and Cole’s near-future depiction of U.S. technological vulnerability in warfare should spur those officials to enable American innovation and adaptation in warfighting solutions well before the onset of strategic

During my tenure with NTB, I have undertaken complex engineering and project work within the boundaries of the Navy Technical Regulatory Framework (NTRF) to successfully deliver technical products and services for the acquisition and sustainment of Minor War Vessels (MWV) for the RAN. In the naval context, these includes specification and validation of compliance with Platform System Requirements for the current and future ships through the development of material specification for maritime capability certification assurance process and provide technical naval system advice to naval community that is accurate, on time and pragmatic.

Not only did we have ships, but we had a device called the Turtle. Invented nearly 150 years before, it was not until the Revolutionary War that the submarine would be used in combat. A man named David Bushnell would develop the Turtle to deploy underwater mines. The Turtle would fail all of its missions and would be lost at the Battle of Fort Lee when the ship transporting it would be sunk. “Despite the failures of the Turtle, General George Washington gave Bushnell a commission as an Army engineer…After the war, he became commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”(History 1).

Where were you on September 11, 2001? In order for senior leaders to pave the way for their juniors, they need to have a full understanding of historical data, mission capabilities and what that means to be a service member. This paper discusses the history, mission, and the symbolism of the USS NEW YORK.

Initially, most enemy threats came from the sea, where the Coast Artillery protected our beach fronts since the 1907. It wasn’t until the invention of the first air plane where the United States no longer had any safe sea fronts. It is there where the Triple-A came about, by dividing the Coast Artillery into two different entities. One remained on the major dock fronts, while the other mobile units would play a tremendous turning point in World War II and set an outline for the future of Air Defense Artillery.

Each ship protects the carrier. Carrier warfare is significant because including air tactics in naval warfare proved to transform the demeanor of naval battle. Planes have greater range, and a larger surveillance window. Planes have extensive weaponry and offensive tactics, but it is logistically difficult for a battleship to attack a plane. Planes have been shown to be effective against submarines .

A Nimitz class carrier can hold up to 90 aircraft and also can carry helicopters. It has a designated launch pad separate from the regular runway so a helicopter and an aircraft can launch at the same time. Helicopters are used for smaller operations such as search and rescue and anti-submarine patrols. The lead ship of the class was launched in 1975 and the last ship was launched in 2009. With a total of ten ships it is the most produced class currently. The Nimitz class has influenced many operations during its service. During The Gulf War they provided air support or engaged other surface ships. Some of the carriers provide air support for the ongoing Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Currently all of the ships in the Nimitz class are in active duty and are expected to remain in service for at least 15 years. The Nimitz class is designed to last 50 years, possibly more with later planned

Leadership on the American side was just as experienced. Admiral Chester Nimitz “served in World War I as chief of staff to the commander of the U.S. Atlantic submarine force” and later was the overall commander in charge of the defense of Midway. (Britannica nimitz, yyyy). Roughly ten days after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Nimitz was promoted to the position of Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. This gave Nimitz authority over all Navy assets and personnel in the Pacific. Just a few months later, in March 1942, Nimitz was once again given greater authority when he was assigned the position of Commander in Chief of Pacific Ocean Areas which gave him control over all Allied Forces in the Pacific, including ground, air, and sea forces (about

The purpose for the three Zumwalt-class destroyers is for land attacks and missile launching. For missile launching, they have Long Range Land Attack Projectiles (or LRLAP).This is a rocket with a warhead fired from the AGS gun(Advanced Gun System). For land attacks, there are hangers to hold two SH-60 helicopters.

The Ticonderoga class guided missile cruiser is a large and powerful surface combatant in the United States Navy. The cruiser has the ability to engage short range air, undersea and surface targets, as well as a long range strike capability. With around 300 crew and 30 officers (Navy 4), this billion-dollar warship (Navy 4) can serve in many roles when it comes to the mission of the United States Navy.

The preparations that The Imperial Navy need to take in order to execute “East Wind, Rain” will require some time to have an effective plan to have a successful attack on the U.S Pacific Fleet and we would need to gather as many destroyers, cruisers, submarines, and carrier-based aircrafts as we can in order to get the as many planes as we can into the pacific. With the money we have been award from the material mobilization plan we would have naval construction as a top priority and to research and develop new military technology and munitions for The Imperial Navy to have superiority over the United States’ Pacific fleet. The Imperial Navy’s pilots need to be trained for a low-level attack due to the fact that the harbor is to shallow for

The Ship model I have chosen is the Olympia (C-6) protected cruiser. It was a U.S.S. ship commissioned in 1982. The reason I immediately chose this ship was due to the evidently noticeable rotatable turrets on the bow and aft of the ship. This style of turret was reminisce of the U.S.S. Monitor’s rotating turret, previously studied in class. I liked how I could relate previous knowledge of technological advancements and see how they were implemented later on in ships.

Alfred T. Mahan – Argued that the nation’s economic future hinged on gaining new markets abroad. In his view, the United States need a powerful navy to protect these markets from foreign rivals. Established “naval power=economic power”.
