If you miss you hit the super structure which it the entire reason it hangs off the side the way it does.
Charles Sanders
Want prevents carrier designs like this? I'm not talking money or it potentially making someone look like a warmonger to commission it, but is their any technological or structural limitations to make super sized nuclear carriers like this?
Mason Wood

US Carriers have to stay small enough to make it through the Panama canal
Evan Russell
Flexing from the waves under it, Nimitz class super carriers already do this.
In choppy water if you look down a long passageway you can see it flex.
Caleb Kelly
Jesus.
Kevin Cruz
Those are the only 2 considerations I could think of, for sake of arguement if they made the carrier region locked to a part of the world (permanent stationing in certain oceans so Panama canal is a non issue) if we could make a material that was flexible enough yet rigid enough to allow both halfs to flex independent while the central bridges kept them together allowing movement of airframes, equipment and personal, what kind of benefits would a carrier like that offer?

Better to have two carriers that can actually maneuver and give you greater coverage.
Super carriers most likely won't get much bigger than the Ford class, perhaps a bit longer to raise take off weight if fighters get bigger.
Jaxson Howard
How would a super carrier (this will sound ridiculous but it's a wet dream if mine) that's two carriers a kilometer long both sides attached with bridges to allow aircraft to move between the two that also has a small wet dock to resupply ships in the center and also to house a small sub fleet for localized defense work? Think about it, at that size you could launch pretty much any air frame in the United states arsenal and have a huge loiter time in an area before having to go to port to restock
Gabriel Flores
Kinda like this, dont really like the render but best example of what I'm talking about and yes I'm fully aware this is beyond reality but fuck would it make me diamonds
Christian Cox
I know this design is intentional but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Luke James
>not going full gup
Julian Ward
The material you're thinking of is steel. It still wont help this retarded idea. Our current carrier sizes are good enough. Bigger isn't better, but having a bunch of carriers of the ford size is always better.
Jace Gutierrez
still more functional than the ford lol
Carter Clark
Dont get me wrong it's a hat on ass retarded idea but even if it was just a political show peice that never saw action itd make my dick diamonds
Jaxson Wilson
Said goodnight..
Parker Cruz
thanks, i hate it
Christian White
That's not true; anything after the Essex class in WW2 was too wide to fit through the old locks.
The new locks are apparently large enough (they're sized for supercargo/supertankers), but I'm not sure if there are height issues (there's a bridge over the canal).
Isaac Miller
To each their own, I have a hardon for oversized military equipment, it's why I live the IG in 40k itd pay any price for a baneblade its impractical in every consideration but just seeing one in person, fuckkk

Needing to sail around South America if you need a lot of ships in one ocean is a bitch tho.
Caleb Clark
Catamaran hull can't do S-curves well. Keep supercarriers as monohulls. If you insist on multihull vessels, go with a Joint Mobile Offshore Base built like oil platforms.
Luis Baker
That's the only issue. If things got crazy enough that carriers needed to move into a different ocean, it would take some time. They would also obviously need to sail with their escorts.
It would be one hell of a naval battle going on if the US really had to start shuffling things around that much to pile its power into one ocean.
Ryder Taylor
Is there some form of shock absorption that prevents it from flexing to much?
Adrian Young
Suez canal*
Carriers don't go through the Panama Canal.
Daniel Parker
So they got the crane off?
Julian Torres
Only the steel structure, and the water around it. The further it goes the greater the stress in the steel, which resists the forces progressively more as it bends. Thankfully it's fairly predictable so it can be designed for, but it's important to keep careful checks across the life of the ship.

The Russian carrier has no boiler, and can’t leave it’s port becuase it’s former drydock is blocking the exit. Suck russian penis elsewere

Here's a standard carrier maneuver that catamaran can't do. Since it's ongoing doctrine, it won't change.

An airfield?
Angel Murphy
airfields can't move, gaybrain
Isaac Sanders
What do spec ops guys do?
In every war they've existed they build a makeshift airfield behind enemy lines so they can land supplies for operation.
But no let's build a retardedly expensive one on giant tank treads for no reason.
If you're going to take the subject seriously realize it's retarded.
Blake Stewart
Have you never closely watched a steel roller coaster track as a train goes along it? Those things flex a ton, it's intentional.
William Howard
>being this much of a faggot
Jose Peterson
Low pressure hover skirts make way more sense than treads — and it's still a stupid idea.
Julian White
Look into the concept for Mobile offshore base. It's the closest thing you are going to get, even though it's less a boat and more a series of platforms rigged together to create a runway.
Nathaniel Sanders

I was actually gonna say something of "well what if you just made it a massive platform that could be towed in sections to an area of operation and build it there as a massive offshore airfield/base of operations" but I figured everyone wouldve reeed didnt realize it was a real concept though neat
Wyatt Lopez
Don't mix the male crews with the female crews you autist. Keep it gender=ship.

It is definitely not.

lolwut, they can't even fight back against an Su-24 with ECW and you think they have a chance against an air launched DF-21 copy?

Are you implying a SAM can't hit something faster than it is?

SM-3 has a ceiling of at least 900km and a speed of mach 15

You don't need a longer catapult for heavier aircraft (well not significantly). You launch a 32k lb F-18 in the same distance as a 68k lb F-14. It's also the same distance used for prop aircraft, which requires less help. You can make the catapults stronger, but might have to make it slightly longer to add to the water breaks that stop the catapult.

Catamarans are terrible in rough seas, the wide "stance" and separate hulls mean they roll side to side much more than a normal single-hull design. Putting a runway on top of one of those hulls would make it pretty much useless in anything but smooth water.

Why can't they just sail the North West passage or around the tip of South America?
