A history of recent U.S. Navy warship procurement efforts:

>1.) The Zumwalt Class Destroyer. Wildly over budget. They only built two. The ammunition for the guns was so expensive they gave up. Enormous money laundering boondoggle.

>2.) The Littoral Combat Ship program. Complete cost overrun boondoggle to create a fleet of ships that barely work and can't do anything except fight Somali pirates. Glorified patrol boats, and that's when their hulls aren't corroding and springing leaks.

>3.) The Constellation Class Frigate. Cost overrun boondoggle. Project cancelled before any were built.

>4.) FF(X) frigate program. A desperation move to adapt a Coast Guard cutter into a frigate with some semblance of combat capability. Only announced weeks ago. Outlook: Doubtful.

Trump Battleship program? Never going to happen. If we can't built a high quality frigate we're not going to be able to build whatever Trump is thinking of, which is probably more of an Arsenal Ship (a warship with an over abundance of VLS cells, basically).

What is the point of this? I know the money laundering circuit is profitable, but you could just as easily have taken this route, put it into domestic works like more trains or state building projects, hire your own Definitely Not In-House contractors, and at least come across as if you're doing something for the betterment of the country. Having a "golden fleet" won't mean shit if it's literally purposeless.

We kind of did something like that already with 2 Ohio Class subs (the "boomers" that launch nukes.)

They retrofitted the missile bays to hold cruise missiles instead of nuke ICBM's. Bonus was they held more missiles that way.

I suspect that this will be a similar idea; a conventional ship layout packed with VLS cells. Maybe reminiscent of an freight vessel with some obvious defensive systems bolted on top.

it is an actual thing but they are not in service anymore.
>>
>>524135021
Because missiles are really expensive. The navy is already terminally short on missiles to stock the cells it already has, and the navy is already behind the Chinese on the matter of cold vs hot launch cells which allow for better packing of cells into a hull. There's little to no point in building a gigantic target with no survivability features if you can't fill the cells you already have.
This doesn't even get into the whole debate on damage control philosophy and crew requirements, but the short version is that American ships use very little automation relative to other navies which results in massive crew requirements relative to other navies, which means massive amounts of life support (E.G. bunks and storage), which leaves less room for everything else, which means that per ton of ship, American vessels tend to have fewer missiles.

Air force procurement is shockingly competent and focused compared to the absolute mess that is naval procurement the last 20 years.

>>524139478
I think Americans are making the same mistake we made in WW2 and fighting the last war. We thought battleships would be important and they turned out to be completely irrelevant. In the next peer on peer naval war, I think carrier battle groups will be obsolete, defeated by ballistic missiles and missile frigate swarms, and that's not even getting into drones.
>>
>>524133360
What?
That's fucking dumb.
Carriers are the 21th century's battleships.
Battleships have been obsolete since ship-launched torpedo aircraft was invented in the 1920s.
What the hell is that retard thinking?
>>
>>524139798
Maybe. There are a lot of factors that go into a hypothetical conflict in the pacific. Technically, carriers with appropriate airborne refueling actually outrange ballistic missiles, and hitting a moving target with an extreme range ballistic missile is pretty hard, so it's going to depend on how accurate those Chinese missiles actually are and how capable American defences are. They definitely need to deepen missile stockpiles and get something to augment the burkes into the water yesterday though, and they really need small drone fuel tankers badly in order to get the carrier range advantage above the incredibly thing razor's edge that it is right now, because sailing into range of the bulk of land based ballistic missiles is just a terrible idea.
If the navy wanted to take the situation seriously they'd just accept that they fucked procurement up too badly, and as a stopgap, starting paying Japanese and South Korean shipyards to produce hulls. Ideally not even a bespoke design, literally just start purchasing Mogamis.
>>
>>524139877
maybe he's thinking it would be really handy to be able to bombard the coast of a country like venezuela without spending a fortune on missiles. the battleships will be escorted by destroyers with missiles for defense, it wouldnt be a total replacement of all ships with battleships. or maybe the navy is going to get the blueprints for functional railguns from japan (they recently got working railguns) and outfit a battleship with railguns for cheap long range bombardments and also maybe lasers for drone defense.

>>524140213
Fun fact, adjusted for inflation, shells for battleship Iowa would cost basically the same as a Tomahawk.
In fact, they'd probably actually be more expensive today because none of the tooling to produce massive shells exists anymore.
But you're also literally describing the function of the LCS and Zumwalt programs, which the navy realized was actually a really bad idea and not a worthwhile capability to pursue.
The USN can build railguns roughly equivalent to the Japanese ones, but they want significantly higher power ones, and once you get into those power ranges you run right back into the rail erosion problems that made them not worthwhile.

Is my analysis wrong, though?

>>524136203

>>
>>524140192
China has missiles that can hit Guam. It also shadows the US navy cbgs and therefore can easily hit them. Yes, when things kick off, the shadow ships will be sunk but that's irrelevant. Sacrificing a few cheap subs and destroyers to sink an entire cbg is obviously a win for china.

Now, if new fleets enter the Pacific it will be more difficult to shadow them in wartime but by then it'll hardly matter. If the first three days of the war is china sinking two carriers and their escorts as well as neutralizing most airfields in the entire theater, then they already won.

When they can chuck 600 ballistic missiles at a BG, expecting that group to survive is just silly, and that's not even talking about the hundreds of frigates with their own anti ship missiles.

>>
>>524134074
they unironically are? it makes much more sense to distribute VLS amongst a larger fleet of smaller ships with smaller crews. The entire carrier model only functions against turdies, nuclear carriers aren't an attritable asset and while MUH HYPERSONICS is mostly a meme china has a shitload of missiles and even with good damage control a single ashbm hit could do billions of dollars of damage to the fleet.

the only real advantage of larger ships is they're easier to damage control which is something the US navy has historically excelled at, but ashbms hitting at near vertical trajectories make surviving a direct hit much less likely than getting hit on or near an armor band by a shell.

look at the moskva for an example of a modern arsenal ship, and a great example of why they're not a good idea.

>>524140622
>China has missiles that can hit Guam.
Yes, but the vast majority of their ballistic missiles are a fraction of that range. The threat envelope at 3000km vs 600km is extremely different. The number of land based ballistic missiles with the range to go out that far is nowhere near 600 per battlegroup.
It also assumes a striking first scenario which might be ideal for a chances at a military victory but is also hugely more likely to get other nations in the region sucked into the way, and also guaranteed to get the United States involved at all.

The only way that china invades Taiwan is by striking the US and her allies first. There is no limited war option. The Chinese, if they decide to go, will open the war with a missile arsenal dump on Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Guam, and any USN fleets in range.

The only way this changes is if allies break away prior to the war and make deals with china. Japan might do this in the next decade or so, given current US politics. I personally advocate for this. I don't give a fuck about Taiwan and am not interested in fighting for it. Japan should go neutral and get her own nukes imo.

This new battleship thing is entirely a Trump phenomenon, nobody except for him has said shit about trying to develop new battleships because it's patently retarded. The USN already has autonomous small ships undergoing trials and there has been a lot of discussion around the disastrous situation of naval procurement.

the smart move at this point is to swallow pride and work with Europe/Japan/Korea to get a bunch of 'good enough' designs cranked out and fitted. We don't have 15 years. 8-10 years at an ABSOLUTE maximum before China tries to blockade Taiwan and it's most likely in the next 2-3. We can figure out what we'll need longterm after the impending Taiwan crisis is over, however it's decided.

USA cant into drones. And its questionable how well they will perform in a heavy EW saturated environment.... So far the only large drone ship with any combat capabilities so far has been this ~500t ship with 12 VLS cells, towed sonar, ASEA radars, 2 x lightweight torpedo tubes, and possibly HQ-10 SAM based CIWS, and a RWS probably armed up to a 20-30mm.

Nothing here to add to this thread thats already been said but for a while I was going down the rabbithole of naval tech and procurement and its wild.
Theres just billions upon billions of dollars that every western country sinks into ONLY DESIGNING all these super expensive future vessels and yet none of them ever get built lol OR they get built in incredibly limited numbers because of cost overruns, lack of infrastructure, shifting of operational goalposts, and political BS.
It fucking pays bigly to be a mitary ship company because they get loads of money just to do research and make shit on a computer while never having to actually build them because someone in govt chamged their mind.

Perun has some really good videos that cover how fucked up ship building has become.

Can anyone break down the classifications for modern US naval ships? Most of my knowledge if from the Second World War so I assume it is vastly outdated. Are Cruisers and Destroyers the mainline to protect the Carriers? Would it be worth building (if the industry can even handle that) a sufficient amount of lighter ships to match China rather then go all in on the Dreadnoughts?
>>
>>524133360
We'll see.
Any ship with missiles is a battleship these days.
The old classification system doesn't apply anymore. DD, CL, frigate, they're all just clever bazookas with varying weight problems and gay crews now.
Maybe this type of vessel will displace 150kt. Probably not. Depends on how fat the energy weapon has to be, and accordingly the nuclear reactor.
>>
>>524144409
Except people who weren't retarded were quite clear that Russia was a dumpster fire back then. You were just listening to retards.
>>
>>524144995
Classification is basically just whatever the navy feels like.
Destroyers are well rounded, cruisers are air defence. Frigates are anti-submarine with extra frills.
More larger ships is the opposite of what is needed right now. There are no available slips to build them that aren't already busy, but there are empty slips for very small vessels.
>>
>>524144409
Russia didn't anticipate the new age of drone warfare and it underestimated Ukraine's ability to repel the decapitation strike. Nevertheless, it has basically won as everyone knew it would. Your analogy is gay and retarded. According to your analogy, china would win a war against us but only after both sides suffered catastrophic and existential losses. Yeah, we know, that's what we're afraid of, retard.

I can bet that this is primarily driven by his own personal ego, more than any actual military purpose. He only wants to immortalize his persona, image over the decaying modern Roman Empire, the US.
And one big, the biggest USN capital ship, bigger than any US aircraft carriers, named after himself --- USS Donald J. Trump --- is one excellent way to immortalize his name & legacy after his leave.
>aircraft carrier
Aircraft Carriers (and name it after presidents/PMs/monarchs) are too mainstream. He aims to be unique & higher than those. Thus, he got an idea of reviving BB
You can imagine he'll at one time shill USN is the world strongest navy with 11 carriers full of the world's mightiest fighter planes, and other time claims that "carriers are obsolete, battleship is the new show of force" to shill his image to the entire world.

Don't give him any idea of presidential supersonic jetliner: he might legit resurrect SST only for his personal presidential aircraft, paid by taxpayers; only because he wants to spit on bongs & frogs over Concorde corpses.

Do you have any evidence of the efficacy of these unseen weapons against US naval capabilities? Would long range ground attack perhaps provide some kind of extended capability to the current navy?

>>
>>524145243
That Destroyer and Frigate switch around has confused me a little, should it not be the other way around? I don't think you are wrong, for the record, I am just confused about why the Navy is using those titles for those roles when historically it was the other way around. It sounds like Cruisers should be looked at more due to the drone threat, do the Americans have Heavy and Light variants? Battleships are just a bad idea and essentially an impossible one given the slips and general state of the economy. Are these very small vessels worth building in quantity? This will sound very uneducated but are they logistically able to carry out cross-sea missions? The could function as drone carriers I suppose, if placed well in formation.

Let's debunked all the crap you just said.

>The ammunition for the guns was so expensive they gave up.
Nope, they aren't and they didn't gave up. Projection of the russian T-14
>Enormous money laundering boondoggle.
Projection
>They only built two
Yes, two are enough for this Battleship, but not for the T-14.

>Complete cost overrun boondoggle to create a fleet of ships that barely work
No, they work and there weren't any boondoggle; projection again.
>They can only fight Somali pirates
Yes, since the US right now isn't fighting any other naval opponent.

>their hulls aren't corroding and springing leaks.
No, they aren't, but a ship leaking is not a big event. But that not the cases for very huge leaking that is a feature of any russian warship.
>Constellation Class Frigate. Cost overrun boondoggle. Project cancelled before any were built.
Nope, but military project are altered or changes regularly, there is a absolutely no issue about this.

>Coast Guard cutter into a frigate with some semblance of combat capability
No a cutter, and no issue with this; again projection of the russian army's bad shape.
>>
>>524145620
I actually think China would settle for a mere economic war with Japan then actually try to invade it. For them I imagine it is Taiwan as a military target, SEA has a target for influence, their Southern border with India as a possible escalatory front and South Korea maybe depending on the general dynamics of a wider conflict.

i thought so to until the other day when they almost had an air conflict with japan im not sure the details i didn't look into it much but it does seem like china would if it went kinetic, and if it goes global china has no choice but to strike japan and korea.
>>
>>524145794
>Are these very small vessels worth building in quantity?
If they were comparable to say, an F110 class, then yes absolutely.
But as of what they're currently shaping up to be? Absolutely not.
https://www.twz.com/sea/navys-new-frigate-will-not-have-vertical-launch-systems-for-missiles

This whole shitshow makes the Canadian River class look competent. At this point the navy just needs to buy off the shelf from Europe and not make ANY alterations.

Cruisers are basically dead and it's unlikely the Ticonderoga class will even get a replacement in our lifetimes.

What a fucking retard. You know what we need instead of a new fleet of battleships? About a billion drones.
>>
>>524146253
To be fair drones are mostly useless in the pacific theater. High performance ones have some applications but FPV style is worthless in a pacific naval conflict.
>>
>>524146062
you don't have one, im clearly laying out my concerns because i actually care about humanity and the barbarity of ww2 is going to be nothing in comparison to what ww3 is going to look like, lets have it out lay down your refutations if you have them and alleviate my fears, because im legitimately worried about what the world is going to look like if we actually have a global kinetic war and im not sure anymore we can win.

>>524133360
Housing the power infrastructure for laser systems/ microwave emitters and railguns simply requires larger ships.
Deploying sufficiently microwave emitters could fry millions of lil drones and cruise missiles in a single instance in a large radius.
Of course, you could insulate them to some degree
>>
>>524146400
You aren't frying anti-shipping missiles with microwaves. Microwaves have incredibly poor ability to propagate through a water rich atmosphere. The missile would cross your effective range almost instantaneously.
Lasers are more viable, but the problem with lasers is not power generation, it's building the actual components, like a lens, which can withstand the amount of energy involved for more than one or two shots every 20 minutes.

Drones aren't even a real threat to warships in the pacific. The concern is missiles.
>>
>>524146061
Are the European vessels good then? I assume not the British based on our "supercarrier" and her less then stellar record.
>>524146052
>>524146239
Yeah I suppose if things really do get that heated then bombings will happen though I assume that will mainly be for show to begin with until the other threats on the mainland are isolated and containable. I remember some noise about Japan increasing their defence budget, how much of that is going to the airforce? I do think Japan should be careful about funding their navy and army to much when so much risk is going to come from the air. How is their navy doing? I assume they'll build defensively.
>>
>>524146376
No you simply have Trump derangement syndrome. This isn't even a decision made by Trump. The choice to invest in the navy is being made by hegseth and the other leaders of the military. Assuming you know more than people that have dedicated their entire life to the military and risen to the highest ranks is why you are not worthy of a response.

If Ihad to guess a modern battleship would be very different from old ones.

If I had to guess small number of big guns for long range inexpensive shelling like artillery, with computer controlled automated small guns to shoot drones and close range flyers down.
Deployed with other ships loaded with medium and long range aa missiles.
>>
>>524145920
the ammo for the guns was too expensive because they never made enough ships for the economy of scale to kick in. they're now removing the guns that never got their special ammo and replacing them with hypersonic missiles.

it was absolutely a boondoggle because the ship came in way over budget and under performance so they cancelled it.

>>524146748
we have a duty to defend nato countries, so you have to address my concerns, how is this possible when that defense has to come from us because they haven't funded their own men in decades because of us, what exactly can we do to help europeans in the event of an actual kinetic global conflict??
>>
>>524146738
They are incredibly slow, and incredibly easy to defend against if you aren't as inept as the Russians. They're essentially just torpedoes for poor people, not to mention the jamming problem.
>>524146964
The problem is that big guns aren't actually inexpensive. Battleship caliber shells are of similar cost to firing land attack cruise missiles, but guns are hugely space intensive and have appallingly poor rates of fire compared to volley firing your entire VLS complement.

Let me guess. Him and his friends own stock in the companies building the ship, his sons are on the board of the company that supplies ammo, and the steel manufacturer bought $100M in MelaniaCoin. The ship will run $4B over a budget, take 12 years to complete, and will be labelled obsolete and retired in 2050 without ever having fought a single battle.

>>
>>524139798
We still need big guns to scare beaners on this side of the planet. 90% of the countries here have no anti-ship capability and no defense against shore bombardment. A trad battleship won’t happen but it will be a big missle/drone launcher.

because it wins against the united states it stretches us thin and forces us to choose a location to fight, we cannot fight all our enemies at the same time, when on fight kicks off against china its only a matter of time before the other potentials join the fray, what do we do man we can't just keep making enemies and babying europe it wouldn't be so bad if i knew europe could fight and at least hold off the russians on that front while we manage the others, im not sure of how strong isreal is in totality but im sure they could deal with the middle east if iran doesn't have more weaponry than we think which im starting to think they do, and south america is going to be a brutal fight for us like afghanistan, we simply do not have the resources to fight all of these enemies.

With the sad state of russia's nuclear forces and sign of disintegration in parts of the russian military, I am not particularly concerned about them in the long term. There is a reasonable chance that Russia will fall within the next 5 years.

There is also a potential path for a conventional upgrade of weapon systems closing the gap (the accumulated /overallenergy stored in chemical bounds of a single molecule can indeed exceed the energy stored in the nucleus of some fissile material) between conventional weapons and nuclear weapons

see thats where you are wrong, its very real and thats the actual secret i don't think you realize how close we get on certain political days to an actual war thats what has me so concerned because their isn't a scenario where it happens and the us mobilizes that we don't get hit in a multi-pronged retaliatory strike and then what, well the only then what is what i said because its the only way for them to win so they will proceed with the scenario i said they would do because thats what i would do if i were them its the only way to respond without nukes, and when we are on the ropes or one of the other countries is then what? no nukes? thats an awfully crazy gamble to play, and yet on the news i see poland talking so much shit everyday like they don't know what im talking about, and then it hits me, they actually don't realize how dire the situation is, and thats when the competency crisis gets scary.

I think you would come to this conclusion if you were sticking to just headline news. Dig a little deeper beyond the sabre rattling we hear on the frontpage and you'll find that there's stuff regarding trade and business negitiations that belies any of the talk about war and conflict.

Correction: they want to replace them with hypersonic missiles but currently can't due to the fact that the US has yet to build a functional one.

fabs are basically gravity bombs.
they are a non factor against a strike group.
that goes the same for cruise missiles.

it is hypersonics man. hypersonic projectiles. the capital ships are on borrowed time and will all be destroyed in the next big war.
aircraft carriers made the battleships obsolete in the last world war and they will be obsolete in the next big war and will all be shredded by hypersonic projectiles.

china already has a fucking mockup on a fucking desert to test out their hypersonic inventory.

Imagine being in the shore bombardment range of these beasts..
But why are Americans back to building battleships? guess ordering these behemoths might help restart the American steel industry. Even still I don't think that the creating a need for the American steel industry even combined with possible president's vanity project or political goals would be enough to force the United States Navy to order these ships.
So what has changed in the naval warfare? Are modern battleships capable of taking a hit from the anti-ship missiles? Would anti-ship missiles need to be more destructive and thus bigger and heavier and therefore easier to intercept leading to sort of an arms race?
Do these ships have range to work in the pacific ocean with it's huge distances? Where would these ships be the best to put in good use?
Maybe the west already has such a naval superiority that they can concentrate more on more tight and strategically important areas and bottlenecks..

I imagine having loads of these battleships in the East and South China seas would make it very hard for the Chinese navy to operate without getting drawn into the decisive battle if they want to do anything.

Also nuclear cruise missiles
It could be good. I dont know how many ships right now are good at striking targets on land. Seems like theres some use for the new Trump class battleships. See how it goes

Howdy, Shlomo. I hope your family dies in a fire started by Persians, meaning started by you.

It's amazing to me that you dickwads just can't seem to get along, and that you always have to be monkeying with shit, but here we are, and so it is necessary for you to go once again.

My personal hope and special Christmas Wish this year, though, is mainly just that all the nations of the world can finally just all come together in a spirit of peace and prosperity at this holy time of Christmas, and offer Elon whatever the fuck he wants in return for shooting all the Jews on Earth straight into the Sun on special 'space boxcars', with special 'round-the-sun' trips for those willing to pay more and clear riders for more contracts once the initial job was done.

That's just my hope and special Christmas Wish, though

Your current guy in charge is well aware of the problems and is trying to fix them for future generations as well, and although time is short and most Westerners are brainwashed either by teevee or by their phones, I still feel optimistic about our future.

Stay strong, brother, and just be patient. Have a beer, or several. It's all good. We can just sit here with our beers and just be patient together, if you like. Lots of room, so grab a seat, and cheers to you.

modern missile defense systems and Close-In Weapon Systems (CIWS) could potentially intercept 16-inch battleship shells, though it's a tough challenge due to the shell's speed and mass, with systems like the Phalanx (CIWS) and even some naval missiles (like SeaWolf) proving capable against artillery, but success against massive 16-inch shells depends heavily on reaction time, system-to-shell match, and sheer volume of fire.

I don't know about the military stuff but I don't even want to fight for Taiwan - or as my government calls it officially, Chinese Taipei.

My preferred solution to the Taiwan situation is that we steal the chip technology, move it to Texas and then forget we ever cared about them.

Dying empires starting lots of wars is just typical of the state of decay, same way ballerina pose is typical on someone that just hit the back of their head on concrete. It's a way to avoid the impending domestic crisis just a little bit longer. Imperial governments don't have a relevant role in a domestic reordering.

Make a bunch of small containers with wooden exterior, put drones inside, camuflage it with nets, plastic bottles and seaweed to look like a pile of floating garbage.
Drop them so the current will make them intercept the carrier
