The replenishment ship at one time could provide more than just food and supplies. The Witchita-Class AOR replenishment oilers (now gone) also carried spare parts, munitions, etc. They had a full service post office which served the entire carrier group. While not in the same class as a "combatant" ship, they were also quite capable of defending themselves with missiles, CIWS, .50 and 7.62 machine guns, and a full EW suite. Cargo was 5 million gallons DFM (boiler fuel), 2.5 million gallons JP-5 jet fuel, 200 tons refrigerated/frozen stores, 600 tons munitions in secure magazines, and a cargo deck about 90' by 450' for palletized cargo. With a maximum speed of 20+ knots (respectable for a deep-draft 650' ship), they were just not fast enough to keep up with a modern battlegroup. The replacements for the AOR class were on the drawing boards, but not sure if they ever made it to the fleet. These were full USN ships with Navy crews. The replenishment ship shown in the video was an MSC (Military Sealift Command) ship. Instead of USS ShipName the ship would have been a USNS ShipName. Owned by the US Navy, but with a civilian crew and captain with standard civilian credentials. Kevin USS Kansas City (AOR-3) '87-'90

@@kdrapertrucker the whole point of a replenishment-at-sea ship is to NOT need to cross-deck supplies. Any supply needs of a destroyer or frigate should be able to met by a replenishment ship's own helicopters, assuming that it is a true replenishment ship. Unfortunately, we scrapped an entire class of ships which were crewed by actual Navy sailors, had a level of defensive armaments, were designed to withstand damage, and were intended to operate in a combat environment. We then replaced them with ships which, at best, had some .50 cal machine guns, civilian crews, and very limited cargo and VertRep capacity. In a nutshell, we went from warships which could re-supply other warships to a collection of High Value Targets with limited mission capacity.

The Royal Navy currently operates two aircraft carriers. HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales. HMS Queen Elizabeth just recently deployed on Carrier Strike Group 21. She has an RAF squadron and a United States Marine Corps squadron of F35 aboard. It's an international carrier strike group comprised of US, UK, and Netherlands. HNLMS Evertsen from the Netherlands, USS The Sullivans, HMS Queen Elizabeth, HMS Defender, HMS Kent, HMS Diamond, HMS Richmond, RFA Fort Victoria, RFA Tidespring and one Astute class submarine. I'm not sure if they have released the name of the sub yet or not. Overall the 28 week deployment will see the carrier strike group cover 26,000 nautical miles, and conduct over 70 engagements in 40 different countries.

The fact that the wargames are used as a reason by anyone for declaring carriers obsolete is beyond baffling to me. The purpose of wargames is to expose weaknesses in training and strategy. The two subs that got close enough to potentially fire on the carrier was a sign that improvement of strategies and training of the strike group was needed. It is why all allies participate in these wargames in the first place. Kudos to the crews of those subs, but it means little more than we need to better prepare so we aren't learning the hard way if a war were to break out that would put these groups in this situation. The U.S. hasn't lost a carrier in battle since WWII which means the strike groups are full of crews who have never truly dealt with such a threat and a lot has changed since then. But how that comes to the conclusion that a carrier is obsolete because one might sink under certain conditions shows a level of ignorance that such an individual with this belief should never be allowed anywhere near a position of power to make a decision regarding the fate of these ships. There is nothing now or in the foreseeable future that could fill the role of an aircraft carrier. While there are many dangerous threats a carrier would face (including subs), I believe that still, the greatest threat to a carrier strike group is that of another carrier strike group.

A bit late, but agreed. Another thing to consider is that since these war games are planned beforehand, it means that a hefty part of the job you'd encounter in an actual wartime scenario - finding and properly identifying a ship at sea - is already done for them. Regardless of how massive they are compared to us as people, ships like an aircraft carrier are *tiny* compared to the ocean itself. Even with our advances in tracking technology, locating a specific ship or small group of ships and - more importantly - coordinating efforts to intercept them still isn't a walk in the park, especially if said vessels are taking measures to evade attempts to engage them directly. Plus, we should also account for the fact that there's a significant difference between "hitting" an aircraft carrier and "sinking" an aircraft carrier. They're certainly not indestructible, but they're not made of paper either. Unless you get a lucky shot and Death Star the thing by hitting something like fuel or munitions storage, you're probably not going to be able to OHKO an aircraft carrier. And as soon as they're hit, they're going to start implementing damage control procedures while the rest of the strike group starts hunting down whatever took the shot. Not to mention that even if they were to become less effective for one reason or another, "not as effective as they used to be" is still a far cry from "obsolete." Let's say that, hypothetically, somehow all aircraft were magically rendered permanently incapable of flight. Aircraft carriers would still be relevant for the sheer number of resources they can transport and the services they can provide to military and civilian sites on land. It's one of the reasons why they're really valuable in disaster relief operations. If I'm not mistaken, they generally have systems devoted to desalinating and purifying water, high quality medical facilities, and so on and so forth. Even in the implausible scenario where all forms of air travel were somehow rendered impossible, they would still be a considerable asset for everything else they can do.

Unsinkable carriers ----- Just to give you an idea how unsinkable our carriers are here is a little look into it.... In 2005, the Navy itself targeted the decommissioned carrier America in order to determine just how much punishment the vessel could withstand before slipping beneath the waves. "The ship was pummeled by explosions both above and below the waterline," The War Zone reporter Tyler Rogoway explained in 2018. "After nearly four weeks of these activities, the carrier was scuttled. On May 14, 2005, the vessel's stern disappeared below the waterline and the ship began its voyage to the seafloor." "America stood up to four weeks of abuse (without the living solo aboard to keep it afloat) and only succumbed to the sea after demolition teams scuttled the ship on purpose once and for all (by entering into the vessel and setting up predetermined charges), it's clear that America was built to sustain heavy damage in combat and still stay afloat." So aside from the enemy somehow sneaking their way aboard as insurgents, which would include getting past the carrier support vessels, it is very unlikely to near impossible to sink in American aircraft carrier. Even if it were possible to bring operations on the carrier to a complete halt through bombardments or other means of attack, the carrier itself would not sink.

no one ever said that our current super carriers can not be sank, HOWEVER, they said in 2005 and 2015 a French and a German submarine got close enough undetected to shoot torpedo's into our carrier, there is SEVERAL problems with this, a single or even full salvo of 4 torpedo's would NOT take an aircraft carrier out of the fight, there are literally more than a thousand individual compartments that in a wartime situation, EVERY hatch from the hangar deck level down to the keel would be closed and separated from all other compartments, a submarine likely does not carry enough torpedo's to remove an aircraft carrier from the fight, not to mention, IF an enemy hits one of our aircraft carriers, the ships full anti-submarine warfare capabilities would hunt down that sub with a variety of detection and weapons systems, that sub would INSTANTLY be the HUNTED, now i am not going to elaborate on any of those systems or weapons, but that subs life in a real world scenario, could be measured with an egg timer from the moment of torpedo impact, if you noticed that Carrier Battle groups always have an attack submarine as part of it's battle group, guess what ship would already have the location of the enemy sub and have it's own retaliatory torpedo on it's way to sink the sub that just fired at the carrier, as soon as the torpedo is fired, that attack sub would know exactly were it is. yes it is possible to sink an American aircraft carrier, it would be very difficult, and no mistakes should be made, doing so would invite the immediate and complete attention of not only the U.S. Navy, but the ENTIRE United States Military, IF there is a country out there on the planet that wants to end it's existence, sinking any one of our aircraft carriers is one way to make that happen!

I don't think aircraft carriers are obsolete as yet. In 10, 20 years with new technology coming along, they might be. Just as side note, I suspect our Space Force is larger, and more advanced than most would think. Rumor s of that have circulated for dome time before they were "officially" founded a few years ago the US has had it's own space launching bases for a long time if you're not aware of that Dons...

If it weren’t for the American military spending, just think how much more its NATO allies such as the UK, Germany, Spain, etc. would have to spend.

You should follow this up with a show about the way the US protects the carriers and the threats to the carrier. You will be very surprised on how the threats are not that many and those have some real limitations. People should know that the modern US carrier was invented by the Royal Navy. Accept the Nuclear power plant the Royal Navy had it first.

The carriers also have chapels (often with a catholic priest, a Protestant minister, a Jewish rabbi, and/or a Muslim iman). They also have Starbucks because, well you know. Naturally, they have small hospitals, medical clinics, X-ray and lab. facilities, along with morgues (sad to say as things do happen).

The carriers situation with the Swedish and French submarines is unrealistic. When that happened the carrier was operating under the rules of the war game and part of that was that they couldn’t launch planes and helicopters to detect submarines around them like they normally would. War games results can be extremely misleading when you don’t know the rules of the war game. It’s like when there was outrage to hear that F-35s were defeated in air combat…only to find out that the F-35 won every single time when operating normally. They only lost when forced into a close one on one dog fight. In reality they were not meant to dog fight!

Of course some allies may be working on similar tech. Non nuclear weapons could damage them enough I expect to render them unusable. But next gen weaponry is coming soon no doubt.

You seem to be under the assumption that US aircraft carriers don't launch aircraft when they aren't in combat theaters. Nothing could be farther from the truth. They ALWAYS have aircraft in the air. Just not all of them.
