Oh please stop making a mockery of 21st Century US naval strength. undecided


oh please stop making mockery of the 19th century German naval strength which surpassed the whole world naval strength including the United States.

The allied nations attacked the Bismarck with 30 destroyers before they were able to take it down.....

That's POWER...Not all this rubbish they build today.

Are u mad Or is it Mental problem that u have


Here is ma exact statement -

"" The Bismarck was by far the most powerful Destroyer
to have roamed the ocean @ that time""


Pls help ur self well, I can comfortably compare Bismarck with current war machines because as at 1940, The kind of missiles that exists were less powerful than the ones we have now, So are the missiles n guns we had in 1940.

A single 4th generation Russia cruise missile will end the career of this Nitmitz whatever.....
[b]you should have told me that you are a comedian. Firstly the existence of a Destroyer ships depends on its armment and the sophistication of the enemies. Of course there are many powerful missiles that can sink ship but when we are comparing weapons, we should compare weapons of the same class. I was expecting you to tell me one Russian ship that is as powerful as Uss Nimitz only for you to bring forth missile related issues. - that's so dumb of you. I wouldn't have bothered myself to reply but for the sake of enlightenment, I would forgive your ignorance. The last battle of the German battleship
Bismarck took place in the Atlantic Ocean, approximately 300 nmi (350 mi; 560 km) west of Brest, France, on 26–27 May 1941.
Although it was a decisive action between capital ships, it has no generally accepted name.
The battle was a sequel to the Battle of the Denmark Strait, fought on 24 May 1941, in
which Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen sank the British battlecruiser HMS Hood and damaged the battleship Prince of
Wales, which withdrew due to the
malfunctioning of her main armament. Following that battle Bismarck was pursued
for more than two days by ships and aircraft of the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
Eventually, on the evening of 26 May, her steering gear was crippled by a torpedo bomber attack, and on the following morning she was brought to battle, crippled and scuttled by her crew..... In fact On 24-May before the final action Bismarck
 '​s fuel tanks were damaged in the Battle of the Denmark Strait and her intention was to reach the port of Brest for repair. Late in
the day Bismarck briefly turned on her pursuers (Prince of Wales and the heavy cruisers Norfolk and Suffolk) to cover the escape of her companion, the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen to continue further into the Atlantic. Early on 25-May the British forces lost contact with the Bismarck, which headed ESE towards France while the British
searched NE presuming she was returning to Norway. She was rediscovered late morning on the 26th by a Catalina flying boat from No. 209 Squadron RAF and
subsequently shadowed by aircraft from Force H steaming north from Gibraltar.
The final action consisted of four main phases. The first phase late on the 26th consisted of air strikes by torpedo bombers from the British aircraft carrier Ark Royal,
which disabled Bismarck '​s steering gear jamming her rudders in a turning position,
preventing her escape. The second phase was the shadowing and harassment of Bismarck during the night of 26/27-May by
British destroyers, with no serious damage to any ship. The third phase on the morning
of 27-May was an attack by the British battleships King George V and Rodney supported by cruisers. After about 100 minutes of fighting Bismarck was sunk by
the combined effects of shellfire, torpedo hits and deliberate scuttling.[4] On the
British side, Rodney was lightly damaged by near-misses and by the blast effects of her
own guns.[5] British warships rescued 111
survivors from Bismarck[6] before being obliged to withdraw because of an apparent U-boat sighting, leaving several
hundred men to their fate. In the final phase the withdrawing British ships were attacked on the 27th by aircraft of the Luftwaffe,
resulting in the loss of the destroyer HMS Mashona, and German ships and U-boats
arrived later at the scene of the sinking and saved five more survivors. This is to tell you how power and durable the ship was. You can imagine if a ship like Bismarck which was built in the year 1940 strong like that, how much more is the strongness and sophistication of advanced Destroyer like Russian Kuznetsov and Nimitz. I don't want to believe that you think anti- clockwise because only those kind of people will be comparing Bismarck with Nimitz. Find time and make a research. Things have changed.[/b]

FRANCE made a fool of themselves...for your info,,the two mistra chopper carriers have been purchased by EGYPT(a russian ally),,,and guess what?russia has offered its radar and electronic services to equip the carriers for egypt ...FRANCE had to pay compensation for the ship,paying 1.31billion dollars (real cost plus compensation)..Russia has said it would build it own mistral ship to its taste...in all france remains the biggest looser..http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/161322/Egypt/Politics-/Egypt-to-buy-Russian-helicopters-hardware-for-new.aspx
Are you daft or what,how is France the looser here.She has refused to sell them to Russia who is apperently in dire need of it.

France doesn't feel an iota of loss,instead Russia should see how effective France stood its grounds on imposing tough sanctions on Russia.

Russia doesn't have an effective naval technology capable of building a carrier at the moment,it's only hope has been dashed by France.Of course it would build something to call a carrier,it would not be anywhere near Chinese Liaoning to start with except it partners a country like Israel or the UK,but pride won't allow it seek such.

In your dreams would Egypt replace US with Russia.US still remains their biggest ally but they are free to partner any country they want to in their best interest.

The U.S. Resumed military aid to Egypt after cutting it during the Arab Spring.You think Egypt would now decide to topple US position over Russia that has less go offer her.That's too unlikely.

your excuse is as paralytic as your thought. You could have asked yourself why couldn't the jet fire missile after successfully jamming the ship since it's not for fun as you said. or why didn't the jet come with missile. And point of correction, the Su-24 flanker didn't circle the ship so stop feeding with unverified lies. It flew over it. Maybe you should step down from the throne of your ignorance and reason with me. An Su-24 flanker was unarmmed and it was spotted by the radar about some km away. If it's war time, the ship would have fired missiles away before the jet even come closer or the su-24 jet might even be the first to detect and sink the ship - well that depends on technicality of the crews and pilot and sophistication of the ship and the jet. Moreover, the jet was without any nuclear weapons so it would be unprofessional for the crews on board to draw blood. Do you think that people just fire missile or weapons without an official authorisation from the superior officer or order from the president himself? Apart from military drilling which the president must approve, no soldier or anybody must fire a single bullet without order (yes some situations requires emergency response without waiting for order) Ok, when the ship was jammed, why couldn't the jet fire since it is not for fun as you have said. This issue is more of logical reasoning that mere propaganda.

Several commentators here underestimate USNV Nimitz.

There are two issues involved;

1. As an individual ship, it is equipped with high tech self protection suite, which details are mostly secret. It can detect, target, attack and defend itself and other friendly ships around it. It is also a command and control centre. So just imagine a corvette, frigate, air/ area defence ship, destroyer and huge logistic ship all rolled into one. That's USNV Nimitz.

2. No US navy carrier ship sails as a single entity. A carrrier, according to US Navy doctrine, is only a ship in a BATTLEGROUP formation. In other words, it is not only a carrier visiting you, but a whole battle group. Usually, a battel group consists of a carrier, complement of destroyers, frigates, oilers, and submarines. A panoply of naval war vessels numbering between 10-15 - all working together as a battle group. That's almost 10,000 sailors, marines, SFs, and complement of technicians, engineers, and allied services moving together. The battlegroup is designed to defend itself, and basically a floating armed men that can start a war on order of president of US on its own, or defend itself from any enemy aggression and fight back effectively until support arrives from nearest formation.

Given the two points above, it can be seen that sinking Nimitz is as good as beating d defence of about 15 highly capable vessels working in synch.

Yes, it can be beaten. But no sane country wants a US Navy battle group sitting off its water in offensive mode.

No missile is capable of reaching that carrier even if all her engineers are sleeping
Sadly Russia doesnt have the technology to build carrier
It can only be destroy by swarming of hundreds of small sub-marine boats as one Iran revolutionary guards quoted and usa military experts attest to it
have you heard or red about russia Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier which makes US Naval fleet shrink? Lol

Shut up! Putin is dying because of the technology and that is why they are begging france not to cancel the contract of the two powerfull carriers they are building for russia
russia doesnt have a single clue about plane carrier technology likewise usa doesn't know much about space technology
No country is closer to america technologically,america has many dismantled weapons which can be re-assembled withing a week if the need arises

Lol..... You think Russia Is Nigeria. They are not good with Aircraft until recently. Also have you heard of their Air craft carrier heading to syria which can protect itself unlike America carriers? Russia are best when it comes to Anti Air craft missiles. Do you think Russia is an africa state?
