Le sous marin Nucléaire USS Miami en feu

KITTERY, Maine (CBS/AP) — Fire crews responded to a blaze on the USS Miami SSN 755 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard Wednesday night. The shipyard is located on an island in the small town of Kittery near Portsmouth, N.H.

No radiation leak after nuclear submarine fire,il ya de radiation vue que le feu est a l'avant du sous marin alors que le réacteur est a l’arriéré en plus les sous marin n'est pas armée il est en réparation

proposition d'un think tank proche d'obama  pour la marine (en sus d'une diminution du nombre de F-35A autour de 1000) :

http://www.defensenews.com/article/20120523/DEFREG02/305230008/Think-Tank-Calls-Major-U-S-Defense-Reductions?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

The Navy should reduce its carrier strike force to 10 ships and nine carrier air wings, and reduce by half the current planned inventory of 369 F-35C carrier variants of the JSF. Planned production of 55 littoral combat ships would end with 27 ships, a production rate of two attack submarines per year should be continued through the early 2020s and the amphibious fleet held at 30 ships. Development of the X-47B unmanned aerial system demonstrator should be accelerated and a follow-on unmanned strike program be made a program of record.

And while CNAS recommends one-quarter of carrier-based strike assets to be unmanned by 2025, it recommends cutting in half the number of MQ-4C Broad-Area Maritime Surveillance unmanned aircraft. As with the Air Force, more ships should be based in the Western Pacific and Middle East regions.

• The Marine Corps should shrink to 175,000 active-duty personnel and sustain a three-Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) global rotation; move one California-based MEU to northern Australia; and preposition ashore more equipment in Australia, Guam and Qatar. CNAS recommends continuing current plans for the F-35B short-takeoff, vertical-landing JSF aircraft, but would eliminate Marine F/A-18 C and D Hornet and EA-6B Prowler squadrons from regular carrier operations. MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor procurement would end in 2016 with a total of 314 aircraft; current helicopter procurement programs would continue; and the numbers of C-130 and C-9 transports, executive jets, E/A-18G Growlers and unmanned aerial systems would be reduced.

Je mets en gras la  proportion d'un quart d'UCAV par Carrier group pour 2025 qui peut aussi nous servir de point de repère pour notre futur PA2 ... 58 Rafale + une vingtaine de trucs non pilotés = 2 GAé ...

Je suis déjà dehors à attraper mon BUS...  :lol:

Elles passent pas l'Afghanistan, par l'Irak, la Turquie, et pour le reste il suffit de voir la stratégie d'encerclement de l'Iran et les forces prépositionnées américaines dans toutes les monarchies pétrolières et dans le MOPO.

Mais sans radier, il aurait fait plouf d'où? On pouvait pas le balancer depuis le pont d'un cargo ou d'un transport quelconque: il aurait fallu au moins un genre de rampe, non?

En général une rampe de coupée suffit, l'avantage c'est qu'on a pas besoin d'avoir un navire balastable, pas besoin de radier imergeable, il suffit d'ouvrir une porte sur le pont juste au dessus de la flottaison et le tour est joué. C'est valable plus la plupart des engin amphibie dans le genre il peuvent "plonger" a l'eau sans faire des pirouettes ou se retrouver le ventre en l'air. Par contre il faut faire un peu gaffe a la rentrée dans l'eau, l'idéal étant de faire une sorte de plat, et de ne surtout pas rentrer bien vertical, au risque de remonter comme un bouchon et en arriere et de se payer le navire :lol: Donc pour résumer un pont a quelques mettre au dessus de l'eau, et une courte rampe a 45° pour mettre l'engin dans le bon sens et jump jum jump!

Les EFV devait meme pouvoir etre déployer des LCS c'est pour dire ...

Sur le forum j'avais collé des photo des AAV qui plonge d'une porte de coupée sur un navire US, un roulier auxiliaire il me semble.

Submarine fire could have ripple effects for fleet | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com

The Navy is evaluating whether it's worth spending millions of dollars to repair the Miami, the nuclear-powered submarine damaged in a fire in a Maine shipyard.

If the submarine is scrapped, the fleet could feel the effects for years. The number of attack submarines like the Miami is projected to drop as they are deactivated faster than they are replaced, and Navy leaders already have been trying to find new ways to keep up with demands from combatant commanders.

"It's strained now," said Rep. Joe Courtney, a Democrat whose eastern Connecticut district includes the Miami's homeport of Groton. "With one less boat, it's just going to aggravate that strain."

A couple of years ago we began hearing quiet discussions on how, as part of the Air-Sea Battle concept, the United States might look to disburse its air forces (lowercase af, not USAF) stationed at its handful of major bases in the western Pacific in the event of a major conflict with China. Doing so would make it more difficult for China to wipe out entire squadrons sitting on the ground with surprise attacks from its long range ballistic missiles (think the DF-21D carrier killers but designed to hit ground targets instead of ships).

A key component of this plan is the refurbishment of long-abandoned World War II airfields scattered across the Pacific. These fields would serve as pretty bare bones facilities that American aircraft could disburse to if a conflict seemed imminent (similar to the way Strategic Air Command’s Cold War disbursal base concept worked).

It looks like the Marine Corps has begun practicing how to put such a plan into action. Last month, Marines refurbished the 8,000-foot “Baker” runway at the abandoned — and historic — North Field air base on the island of Tinian, and installed aircraft carrier-like arresting gear on the runway of the island’s lightly-used West Field. Naturally, this was followed up by Marine Corps F/A-18D Hornets from nearby Guam performing arrested landings on West Field

The exercise, called Geiger Fury ’12, was designed to put the theory of operating from bare bones Pacific bases into practice.

Mississippi, built under a unique teaming agreement between General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News, delivered to the Navy in just over 62 months - the fastest delivery yet for a Virginia class submarine. All Virginia class submarines currently under construction are on track to deliver early to the Navy.

Ingalls Shipbuilding Launches the Multi-Purpose Amphibious Assault Ship America (LHA 6)

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rUqTMR_1Qc

Huntington Ingalls Industries announced June 5th that its Ingalls Shipbuilding division launched the U.S. Navy's next amphibious assault ship, America (LHA 6), from the company's floating drydock on Monday.

"Launching a large-deck ship is a significant milestone requiring several highly skilled shipyard crafts and a complex logistics plan," said Brian Cuccias, Ingalls' vice president, large deck amphibious ships. "As the Navy's longtime sole provider of these important ships, we are unique in our ability to draw on the specialized experience our shipbuilders have in the safe and efficient translation and launch of a warship of this size."

The ship, weighing more than 29,000 tons in its current state, became one of the largest objects moved across land when it was translated to the drydock two weeks ago. Following additional planning and preparation, the launch process occurred utilizing the drydock's ballast system on Monday afternoon, and the ship floated free.
