The Douglas Commercial Model Number 2 (DC-2) entered U.S. In the sky, distance can aid in avoiding friend or foe detection and has caused many tragic fratricide incidents that continue to the present day. Sea Control Ships = Lots of small Aircraft Carriers. UPDATED 1. 8 September 2. The Large Aircraft Carrier Midway Myth: is it, Fatal? Watch how fast the USS Oriskany Sank without fuel or ammo being ignited.. Carrier supremacy destroyed her army and navy air forces. Carrier supremacy destroyed her fleet. Carrier supremacy gave us bases adjacent to her home islands. Carrier supremacy demolished the island air bases and eliminated the air force which was using them. Carrier supremacy made the island naval bases untenable for such shipping as escaped our subs. Carrier supremacy permitted us to give close, tactical air support to the troops who stormed the island fortresses. Mitscher, USN, quoted in Naval Aviation News, October 1. The statement above by Mitscher is the ultimate arrogant, dishonest, lying aircraft carrier bullshit. Further, in concert with other attackers, they sank an additional 2% (4. Therefore, air power forces, directly, indirectly, or partnered with other attackers, was responsible for sinking 4. Japan's maritime losses, a tonnage value of 4,0. Army Air Force, leaving only 2. USN carrier planes. And what that means is that for the cost of 1. Japanese ships; this result was ONLY POSSIBLE BY HAVING LOTS OF SMALL AIRCRAFT CARRIERS ALL OVER THE PLACE SO THEIR SHORT- RANGE PLANES COULD FIND AND REACH SHIP TARGETS. Long- range USAAC/AAF planes at far less costs achieved the same results from land bases as their . The most efficient and effective ship killer were our small long- range submarines that could remain on patrol for weeks on end to find and kill with Line- Of- Sight HE torpedo attacks surface ships which are in their own medium, the sea. For the modern USN to foist this large aircraft carrier lie began by Mitscher is a dangerous mis- direction of our nation's funds. Big aircraft carriers = Big budgets and the smaller, complimenting systems get squeezed out in a Navy and marines run by greed and ego.
Form is killing FUNCTION. If we are to effectively use the CONCEPT of a ship carrying short- ranged airplanes, WE NEED LOTS OF SHIPS CARRYING AIRPLANES not just a dozen large carriers, however ego and budget gratifying. However, aircraft carriers got all the publicity by the USN propaganda machine since there's far more money and prestige from Congress and plain fun sailing the seas and coming in to exotic ports from large aircraft carriers as a chest- beating . Who gets more chicks, muscular Tom Cruise (Top Gun) or dumpy Tom Clancy (The Hunt for Red October)? What's a bigger ego biscuit, commanding 5, 0. Regardless of form being worshipped over function, it was the submarine fleet that destroyed most of the Japanese merchant cargo ship fleet, isolating the home islands, crippling Japanese industry, and preventing resupply and reinforcement of Japanese island garrisons so our ground forces could evict them with air/land/sea maneuver. This, despite the fact that the submarine forces comprised less than 2% of the Navy, and spent the first 1. Navy bureaucracy over defective torpedoes while Japanese Long Lance torpedoes out- ranged ours by a factor of 3 and packed a HE warhead wallop that when it struck, killed our pre- Washington Treaty weight limit ships. The world's leading action stars, directors and critics pick the 100 best action movies of all time, from Die Hard to Scarface. It displays the large aircraft carrier hubris of the Navy that exists to the present day and threatens us with a naval disaster that could topple us as a nation from being a super power to a has- been. As you will see, this large aircraft carrier . Navy and dumb marines keep focusing on GWOT land attack badly done and continue to live in a la- la land of denial that their sea- based platforms are at alarming and fatal risks, a strategic defeat at sea will be inevitable; if we want to emulate the Persian fleet at Salamis we are right on track. Navy mythology goes that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and sank all our capital battleships, leaving us with just large aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, PT boats, blimps and seaplanes ie; Just about everything there is in a fleet- -- except battleships with heavy armor and big guns to sink the enemy's battleships and everything lesser. Half a year later, we then met the Japanese fleet at Midway with our fleet still (- ) battleships, and our aircraft carriers sank them in a 4- 2 exchange ratio. Then from then on it was . Who says World War 2 even ended? Germany had the atomic bomb and we over- ran it in the nick- of- time. Here is the shocking, frightening truth about why we fiddled around in the Pacific. Japan was baited to attack at Pearl Harbor so FDR could get Americans who DID NOT WANT TO FIGHT GERMANY would indeed fight our real mortal foe. The margin between them nuking New York city with long- range bombers was only a matter of DAYS. When Germany set off its first nuke in a test the German officers against Hitler set off a bomb trying to kill him in desperation, which slowed him down. We are talking critical days here. General Eisenhower said 6 months. Berlin and we'd all be speaking German now. The strategic bombing wasn't about making the German people give up to win the war for the glory of air power egotists IT WAS ABOUT STALLING AND INTERFERING WITH THE GERMAN . The final solution is GROUND MANEUVER that destroys the labs and kills or captures the scientists making these weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The Pacific theater was a side show. When you study the actual weapons the Germans had and nearly had you, will realize FDR's . Japan was not the only people who have been nuked, and not just in WW2. Naval Aviation News of July 1. German U- boats had snorkels sooner, we probably couldn't have projected a land army onto France to march on Berlin from the west to end the war. In fact, we got a lucky break in that the German U- Boats were NOT much advanced over WW1 types when WW2 began, making it possible for them to be detected and defeated since they needed to surface to recharge their batteries and were actually slow in the water as the BBC documentary below reveals. SXgr. 5o. 9w. UM. German Type XXI U- Boat: world's first actual submarine. Type XXI XXI U- boats, also known as . It was much quieter, and enjoyed a hydraulic torpedo reload system that allowed all of its six torpedo tubes, which were in the bow, to be reloaded faster than a Type VIIC could reload a single tube. The Type XXI could fire 1. The total warload was 2. Greatly increased battery capacity, roughly three times that of a Type VIIC, gave these boats enormous underwater range. They could travel submerged at about five knots (9 km/h) for two or three days before recharging the batteries, which took less than five hours on the radar- invisible snorkel. This, combined with longer dive times at reduced speeds, made them much harder to chase and destroy by ASW surface ships. It also gave the boat a 'sprint ability' when positioning the boat for a line- of- sight torpedo attack. Older boats had to surface in order to sprint into position. This often gave the boat away, especially after aircraft became available for convoy escort. The boats were built faster than earlier types as the hull was constructed from 8 pre- prepared sections which were assembled after being transported from the various factories they were made in. However, Allied mythology says only one, U- 2. World War II. This was in part a result of the lengthened training process, as the crews had to be trained to operate the new, sophisticated technology. Most boats were scrapped or scuttled after the war, but eight were taken by the Allies for evaluation and trials. The United States received U- 2. U- 3. 00. 8, which were commissioned into the United States Navy. U- 3. 01. 7 was commissioned into the Royal Navy as HMS- N4. U- 2. 51. 8 became French submarine Roland Morillot. U- 3. 51. 5, U- 2. U- 3. 03. 5, and U- 3. Soviet Navy as B- 2. B- 2. 8, B- 2. 9, and B- 3. Those boats influenced new Soviet submarine classes known by the NATO reporting names Zulu and Whiskey, although the Whiskey class was smaller and less sophisticated. It is the only XXI remaining. Only 1 man survived this battle, an ASW destroyer Captain and he said he never wanted to ever have to face such deadly submarines ever again. Essentially in WW2 we were using and fighting against SUBMERSIBLE TORPEDO BOATS with limited ability and speed to fight underwater and not actual submarines like we have today. The only reason why we were able to win against the German U- Boats in the Atlantic was because they had to surface or use a snorkel to get air to run diesel engines to recharge their batteries and attain 2. When they did this we could spot them from the air using seaplanes and other ASW aircraft from shore and small escort aircraft carriers. We have never fought an entire war against AIP nuclear or exotic D- E and other drive submarines who can stay submerged and are as fast if not faster than surface ships. It will be a blood bath just like the Type XXI U- Boat break- out battle. In 1. 95. 8 we, the Russians and British nuked Nazi Germans in their secret bases in Antarctica. Thus. WORLD WAR 2 NEVER REALLY ENDED. Furthermore, the facts will also show the . Army- -not the bragging marines- -and the Australians stopped the Japanese land conquest in NEW GUINEA with land- based ground troops and aircraft. If we were so hurting for aircraft carriers, why was the USS Ranger- -that already was in action in the Atlantic- -not sent back to the Pacific? ARMY P- 3. 8s, P- 4. P- 4. 7s off her decks for the amazing Operation TORCH Airborne and Amphibious strategic maneuvers. Army planes can't operate from NAVY carriers.. Naval Aviation News 1 October 1. Maybe the REAL REASON why the Ranger was retired was so its HISTORY of operating Army planes in combat could be covered up in the post- war era where such facts would be inconvenient to USN/Mc budget and ego?
