What Aircraft Carriers Reveal About the Military Tech Race | WSJ U.S. vs. China

The U.S. has by far the largest aircraft-carrier fleet in the world, but China is catching up on the technology and design with its new vessel-the Fujian. The U.S.’s new Gerald R. Ford carrier holds several advantages over Beijing’s best carrier including a larger range and better ability to detect smaller targets, but the Fujian is catching up in some areas including its launch system for aircrafts.
WSJ compares the two superpowers’ best military ships to understand their strategic goals.

    Speaking as retired US Navy and having spent 8 years on carriers …. there is far more to effective carrier operations than simply specs on a data sheet. The biggest advantage, and most important imo, the US has over China is experience. All of our systems have been tested for decades, new systems are designed with decades of research and experience to draw on, our crews are at sea every day of the year across the globe. Our carrier groups are well oiled machine. We know what works.

    @Mishmash Japan had a lot of carrier experience back then. That is what they used to attack Pearl Harbor. What the US had was manufacturing capabilities beyond Japan’s. That is how the US was able to win; churn out more ships than Japan ever could. When the US sunk most of Japan’s carriers in an ambush, there went the experienced crew. China today can churn out more ships than the US can and the US has more carrier experience than China. See the similarities? Today the US is Japan and China is the US of WW2

    But if the Chinese are able to sink most of our carriers, will we face Japan’s situation with a lot of our experienced crew going to the bottom of the ocean? And remember China can manufacture more stuff than the US can. Very similar to how the US outperformed Japan in that metric back then. If China sinks most of our carriers, there goes power projection if we don’t include submarines. And all the while China is cranking out more carriers and warships/subs in the meantime. And since we don’t believe in land-based long-range missiles, we might be forced out of most of the pacific. Probably forced back to the mainland.

    How smartly you use what you have (strategy and tactics) will always beat a greater force (like David versus Goliath). That's why greater focus on training in both army and navy academies is SO important. Advanced hardware capabilities are important yes, but without well-trained, strategic, outside-of-the-box thinkers, that advanced capability can be easily lost on the battlefield against a foe who may posses better training (more tools in the mental toolbox). And training is the least cost when compared to the price of military or naval hardware.

    Both vessels won't get into head to head combat in the near future. In a Taiwan scenario, Fujian will stay under land-based airforce's protection, and support/guide area denial missiles. Ford is also likely to stay behind Japanese island chain and protect cargos in and out of Taiwan. Neither sides can risk losing one airplane carrier.

    Land-based air cover has its own weakness. For example, if you want to maintain air superiority over a patch of the ocean, doing so with land-based aircraft would require you to maintain a useful amount of fighters over said area. This can be very inefficient, because you need to keep a lot of aircraft in the air. Even worse if that area is far away from your airfields. If you have a carrier, your carrier can sit in that area, and deploy the fighters when needed. The only thing that keeps flying is the early warning aircraft.

    Carriers rely on a dedicated and experienced crew for flight ops. It takes decades to build that kind of knowledge and training. You have to build a professional culture around it. That's not the way the Chinese or the Russians do things. It takes one mishap to shut down the deck and the ability to launch and recover aircraft. The US Navy has been in training and development of flight ops since before WW2, I've seen a carrier flight deck crash first hand and it's a nightmare, but our sailors are so well trained for just such an incident. We trained like we meant it, serious business. It took decades and countless mishaps just to get the training right. I guess my point is that you can't just build one of these and put to sea with newbies and expect anything but a horror show.

This guy forgets that the US navy operated aircraft carriers since the 1920's when USS Langley became the 1st operational US aircraft carrier. The experience and expertise gained by the US from those long years operating these carriers are the most important advantage that they have over any adversary that now come to possess this technology.

    And the new Chinese carriers are made in China (enough said) - wasn't the deck of one of these new Chinese carriers cracking soon after launch? China has no experience in modern naval nor in modern aerial warfare. China cannot build fully-powered jet engines for its pseudo-stealth J-20. China does not have nuclear-powered supercarriers comparable to the Nimitz and Ford classes. Maintaining and utilizing carriers is not easy - see the video (How Russia Stole and Ruined its Only Aircraft Carrier) exposing the joke Russian Carrier which is pulled by a tug boat and belches black smoke from its engine which keeps breaking down and has hardly spent any time out at sea in all of its years in service.

    The two countries have very different strategic goals. US carriers are offensive to extend power globally and Chinese carriers are obviously built for defending territory like South China Sea, East China Sea and potential guarding the trade routes. US operates carriers way longer than China and has superior airplanes. Chinese carrier has a long way to match US carriers, then again maybe China doesn’t need to as there is no need to extend global power. 003 uses DC electric magnetic catapult and Ford uses AC electric magnetic catapult, very different technology. Radars are different too, 003 has dual band active array scan and Ford is single band passive array scan because Ford has strong protecting fleet for air defense and nobody in the right mind would attack it, 003 on the other hand wants very large and defensive awareness to detect air strikes like F35 even with 055 destroyer near by.

    Part of a carrier's survivability is measured by its ability to stay far out at sea, far away from patrolling land-based air-power. A carrier that does not have the ability yet to replenish her task group at sea and instead has to visit ports for the purpose can not stay hidden. When she visits port, everybody knows where she is, for targeting purposes. And another thing. Entering and leaving port is the most vulnerable time for a carrier vis-a-vis attack from either mines or torpedoes. She has to run that gauntlet just to get out onto the missile target range. Every surface ship, submarine and USAF bomber for 1,500 miles around is within firing range just waiting for the order to pull the trigger. Which carrier would you rather be on?

I always have to laugh at that statement that because the US carriers are nuclear, they can stay powered for years. Yes, the carrier can, but the carrier also has a crew. They also need to eat and drink. Sick and injured need to be treated and if necessary, evacuated. A US carrier rarely travels without the carrier group, that's a lot of ships, and not all of them are nuclear powered, in fact, most aren't. So you still have the exact same issue.

    “Numbers will be our only advantage”. So sick of these “subject matter experts” who have no clue what they’re talking about. The Gerald R Ford class is the culmination of over 100 years operating carriers. No amount of money China can throw at a carrier will beat experience. The GRF class also has 4 catapults unlike 003s 3 catapults. Pretty sure there are more elevators and ordnance elevators on the GRF. No carrier operates alone, US carrier strike groups are objectively better. The Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke class with their AEGIS radar system, provide protection for the carrier that is unmatched by any navy. There’s also the air wing itself which once again favors the US. The US has been doing high tempo sorties on catobar carriers since Vietnam and we have learned a lot from aircraft like the A4 and F4. The USN took it upon themselves to set the standard for safe and effective carrier operations for the entirety of NATO to benefit from. Again, no amount of money is going to make China catch up to the USN in quality and efficiency.

    @@user-mn3qp3rx8z Your statement seems to assume drones will be slow and not maneuverable. Presumably you think they all will be flying high enough for midrange SAMS. That is only part of the total picture. No doubt there will be a role for such slow and easy shot drones, as diversionary targets to overwhelm SAM systems. While the SAMs try to target and shoot the diversionary drones, the primary threats will be flying either under the radar, or electronically shielded by ECM equipped drones, and approaching a target independently from multiple vectors for a simultaneous time on target. It will be a new wrinkle to current tactics but, without endangering human pilots. Such drones do not have to be connected to outside nav or control. They can be programmed before launch to a target without a need to update via GPS. Updates can happen as they do now, with multiple visual geographic points of reference all contained on an internal digital map. The main threat to these new battlefield drones will be the 6th gen fighters/interceptors, but it will be a numbers game until the 6th gen are equipped with laser type weapons that are basically unlimited loads. Current missile and bullet constraints will be overwhelmed with false targets to shoot at.

Mainly they serve as a theoretical or possible threat like Tripitz or Scharhorst in Norway or Yamato and Mushari in Japan in 1944.
