      You’d be surprised at what something that big can do, tight turns normally is not one of them. I been on three carrier sea trials and shake down cruises. Full speed ahead then full reverses and then full speed ahead. Kind of a weird feeling when something that big is shaking in the water. Or high speed and instant full rudder turns while standing on the flight deck where you need to kneel down and grab a pad eye so you don’t fall over. Then when you looks across the deck on one side and all you see is sky then look the other was and all you see is water. Carriers also have an undisclosed top speed, they can go pretty fast, stopping them might not be as good. I also seen rooster tails of water out the back on high speed forward, something you might expect to see with an outboard motorboat but not a 1,200 foot carrier.

    Our Carriers are amazing. As a destroyerman, it was a well-known fact that they could easily out run us if they chose to. They keep the battle group around to soak up missiles, pick up downed pilots, fetch trash bags thrown over the side "accidentally", and so on. But I'd never switch places because they are without doubt the largest strategic targets in any theater!

    • @RichFreeman
      @RichFreeman 4 года назад +8

      As I understand it, it is actually easier to get a larger ship to move faster. The power required relative to displacement is lower. Or at least I think I've heard that.
      It makes sense that they have a lot of power in a carrier. That carrier is most of the firepower of the task force. If they need to get from A to B it is the one ship they can't be without. Also, faster speeds mean higher payloads for the aircraft as they will get more headwind taking off.
      Finally, the maneuvering might be helpful to evade incoming fire, and obviously this is the ship taking all the fire. I suspect this doesn't matter as much as in the past, but maybe they can do something to evade torpedos, and at least try to get off track for missiles, and unmask defensive weapons.

      @@RichFreeman do you mean it's easier for a larger ship to have a higher maximum speed or that a larger ship is easier to accelerate to its maximum speed? (sorry, I hope that question makes sense)
      Interesting tidbits I remember reading about the electromagnetic catapults on the Ford class - not only does the EM system require less energy than steam system it replaces, but it also allows for much more precise control over the launch (both in the acceleration and total amount of force applied). If I remember right, it will allow a wider weight range of aircraft to be launched (as well as the same type of craft with differing loaded weight), can handle heavier aircraft, is easier & faster to change between aircraft of different weight, and has a higher sortie rate. I also read one analysis that the precise control makes launches in changing/difficult weather conditions easier for the crew. It's also supposed to be a more reliable system (omce they sort out the issues with using a new technology) despite it being a bit finicky during initial trials.

    • @RichFreeman
      @RichFreeman 4 года назад +5

      @@JustIn-op6oy the larger displacement probably helps with both acceleration and top speed. But, I haven't checked the physics. It would make sense for them to be linked since top speed is at the point where drag and thrust are equal. Below top speed you have an excess of thrust and so you have acceleration.

    Spent two years on a guided missile destroyer, where maneuvers like this are an every day occurrence. Before the destroyer, though, I was on a big repair-ship that really never was underway. We went from Norfolk, Virginia, out to Bermuda and then back to Mayport, Florida. On that trip, we had to test all the functions of the ship which were tested rarely - such as this steering-gear test.
    They give you several hours to get all your spaces in order and fasten everything down before they do the test. My buddies and I decided to ride out the test back on the big helicopter deck, which was a fun place to be, when the ship slowly heels over in turn. Helicopter deck was huge, although just a small fraction of the size of an Aircraft Carrier flight deck. Pretty strange to have the "floor" you're standing on start tilting at those angles!
    Looks here like they made the entire crew stay belowdecks, or at least standing next to something solid they could hang on to.

      People Who Constantly Point Out Grammar Mistakes Are Pretty Much Jerks, Scientists Find
      FIONA MACDONALD
      12 DEC 2017
      Scientists have found that people who constantly get bothered by grammatical errors online have "less agreeable" personalities than those who just let them slide.
      And those friends who are super-sensitive to typos on your Facebook page? Psychological testing reveals they're generally less open, and are also more likely to be judging you for your mistakes than everyone else.
      ADVERTISEMENT
      SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT
      In other words, they're exactly who you thought they were.
      That sounds pretty obvious, but this paper, which was published in PLOS One in 2016, was actually the first time researchers were able to show that a person's personality traits can actually determine how they respond to typos and grammatical errors, and it could teach us a lot about how people communicate (or miscommunicate) online.
      "This is the first study to show that the personality traits of listeners/readers have an effect on the interpretation of language," said lead researcher Julie Boland from the University of Michigan back in 2016.
      "In this experiment, we examined the social judgments that readers made about the writers."
      The researchers took 83 participants and asked them all to read email responses to an ad for a housemate, which either contained no errors or had been altered to include typos (e.g. "teh" instead of "the") or grammatical mix-ups, such as too/to or it's/its.
      Those 83 people then judged the person who'd written the email based on their perceived intelligence, friendliness, and other attributes, such as how good they'd be as housemates.
      They were also asked at the end of the experiment whether or not they'd spotted any grammatical errors or typos in the emails, and, if so, how much it had bothered them.
      The researchers then asked the participants to complete a Big Five personality assessment - which rates where they are on a scale of openness, agreeableness, extraversion/introversion, neuroticism, and conscientiousness - as well as answer questions about their age, background, and attitude towards language.
      Overall, everybody rated the fictional housemate applicants with typos and grammatical errors in their emails as worse than those with perfect spelling and grammar. But there were definitely certain personality types that judged the typo-riddled applicants more harshly.
      For example, extraverts were generally much more likely to overlook both grammar mix ups and typos, whereas introverts were more likely to judge the applicants negatively because of them.
      And people who tested as being more conscientious but less open were more sensitive to typos, while those with less agreeable personalities got more upset by grammatical errors.
      "Perhaps because less agreeable people are less tolerant of deviations from convention," the researchers wrote.
      Interestingly, how neurotic someone was didn't affect how they interpreted mistakes.
      The differences picked up in the research were pretty subtle - and it's a small sample size in general, so we need to take the results with a grain of salt. But the results couldn't be explained by people's age or education, which suggests that personality traits were playing a role.
      More research is now needed to confirm these links, but for now, take comfort in the fact that typos can happen to everyone, but it takes a particular type of person to constantly point them out to you.
      The research was published in PLOS One.
