    First you have to discover it, then it has to be within your attack circle, and you can organize enough firepower to attack it. For China at the moment, the problem of strike firepower is not very big, at least it can make the aircraft carrier feel a mortal threat. The former Soviet Union was able to do this, the problem was the discovery of aircraft carriers.

    This is the primary point of aircraft carrier operations, and early warning is very important, and China is currently engaged in a high-resolution satellite with a five-point return visit. As for the problem of sinking, the aircraft carrier has a nuclear reactor, and there are a large number of wet goods and equally dangerous dry goods, and they are basically not saved if they rub it. As for the allusion that said that the attack lasted for 15 days, I know, they drained all the oil in the aircraft carrier, unloaded all the ammunition, and only an iron shell remained, and then raised the watertight door, so of course it would be difficult to sink, and even if it was scrapped, it would not be easy to sink

    It is not very difficult to sink aircraft carriers, many aircraft carriers were sunk in World War II.

    Although aircraft carriers can establish a safe space for aircraft carriers with attack nuclear submarines, carrier-based aircraft, and anti-aircraft missiles, this safe space is relative, and submarines and aircraft may break in, let alone anti-ship missiles.

    Although the United States is now boasting about its anti-missile and anti-submarine operations, the actual results are much worse. A missile is more than a million dollars, even if it is used in a few thousand, it will not exceed the value of an aircraft carrier, which can resist a saturation attack of thousands of missiles?

    In fact, there is a simpler way, which is to install intelligent heavy mines on the way of US aircraft carriers, or use submarines to break into the anti-submarine circle of US aircraft carriers, so that only one heavy intelligent mine or heavy torpedo is needed, and the aircraft carrier can be easily seriously damaged or sunk. Such a cost-effectiveness ratio should be the highest.

    <> How hard is it to sink an aircraft carrier?

    As an important type of combat ship, the aircraft carrier has adopted a lot of anti-sinking measures in its design, and there are several watertight compartments alone, and it basically takes more than 10 torpedoes to completely sink an aircraft carrier, and ordinary bombs and missiles can only make it lose its combat effectiveness, while one or two torpedoes can send a large ship to the bottom of the sea.

    In the Pacific War, Japan's main aircraft carriers such as the Kaga and Akagi were hit by aerial bombs, and caused a series of bombs and torpedoes piled up on the deck**, they did not sink immediately. It was the Japanese, fearing that they would be captured by the American army, so they fired their own torpedoes and sank them.

    After World War II, the aircraft carriers equipped by the United States were even more capable of resisting strikes. Taking the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier as an example, in order to protect the torpedo from the attack of mines, the hull of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier below the waterline is arranged along both sides of the ship one by one along the sides of the ship's side to form five anti-torpedo compartments. At the bottom of the aircraft carrier, a parallel partition is arranged, forming two mine-proof compartments, and the whole ship is composed of 2,000 watertight compartments by transverse partitions and longitudinal partitions.

    These watertight compartments are controlled by a computer, and when the outer side of the aircraft carrier is broken down and leaking, the watertight compartments around the hole will automatically close to prevent seawater from pouring into other compartments, and these watertight compartments have enough buoyancy to support the carrier from sinking. After the internal water of the aircraft carrier is flooded, the anti-overturning injection drainage system on the navigation rules or mother automatically carries out the water discharge work according to the stability of the damaged aircraft carrier, and the inclined hull can be corrected by 15 degrees within 20 minutes.

    In 2005, the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS America was selected as the aircraft carrier vitality test platform. During the strike test, the USS "American" aircraft carrier opened all the watertight hatches, and after 25 days of repeated attacks, it finally did not sink into the sea, and finally the US military installed four tons of explosives at an important position in the hull to sink the ship.

    Not easy. Because it has a complete C4ISR intelligence information combat command and control system, and a large number of escort ships and aircraft to provide peripheral defense.

    It has installed a full set of self-defense and short-range defense ** and electronic systems, plus it likes to use a variety of anti-sinking designs, such as sturdy structural design, double bottom, a huge number of waterproof compartments, and a perfect damage management system.

    It forms a far, medium and near-3 layers of defense circle up to 1,000 kilometers in the air, water and underwater, which is difficult to be attacked, and has strong resistance to attack after being attacked, and has strong self-rescue ability for damage repair. Therefore, it is difficult to sink.

    An aircraft carrier, referred to as an "aircraft carrier", is a large surface ship with carrier-based aircraft as the main one, which can be used for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land. It usually has a huge flight deck and ship islands, most of which are located on the starboard side. Aircraft carriers are one of the largest, most complex and most powerful aircraft carriers in the world, and a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength.

    Modern aircraft carriers are usually divided into large aircraft carriers (more than 60,000 tons), medium aircraft carriers (3-60,000 tons) and small aircraft carriers (less than 30,000 tons) according to the size of the full load displacement; According to the power plant, it can be divided into nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and conventionally powered aircraft carriers.

    Aircraft carriers usually use formation operations, and there are generally cruisers, frigates, destroyers, nuclear-powered attack submarines, fast support ships or other comprehensive support ships in the formation, so the anti-submarine capability, anti-ship capability and air defense capability of the aircraft carrier battle group are several layers, and it is not easy to break through this tight defense network, so we usually say that the offensive and defensive capabilities of aircraft carriers are very strong. In addition, it can undertake a wide variety of maritime missions, including non-war military operations. In peacetime, aircraft carriers are often used for maritime search and rescue, anti-piracy, combating terrorist activities, etc.

Not a copycat. To briefly reside, the Varyag is the second of the Kuznetsov class of aircraft carriers built during the Soviet era (the first is the "Kuznetsov", which is now in service with the Russian Navy), but it was not completed, and it was 68% built by the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Later, Russia ran out of money, didn't want it, and Ukraine's own naval strategy didn't need such a big ship, so it was sold to China, but the power system, the ** system, and the electronic system were dismantled, and it was basically sold to China as an empty shell. >>>More
