@ARPA @Fusilier concernant l'USS Enterprise (que l'on voit dans la vidéo), son destin est bel et bien scellé, il ne reviendra jamais en service. Il est déjà depuis quelque temps chez Newport News... en attente de "solution" pour le démentellement (ce qui commence à impatienter le chantier...) le problème est comme toujours le financement. L'US Navy préfère pour le moment investir son budget ailleurs que dans le démantèlement (complexe et onéreux) du CVN 65... (tout cela m'a été expliqué par mon guide, Chris Cavas, ex-defense news, lors de notre périple à Norfolk en mai)

Un tour de la base navale de Norfolk
Enregistré en mai cette année. Il y a une quantité incroyable de navires, y compris dans les chantiers... quand j'y étais il y a deux ans, une grosse partie des navires en ATM/IPER chez BAE Systems étaient sous cocon (y compris les cruisers comme le Gettysburg)
Idem pour les LSD classe Harpers Ferry. Ils étaient censés etre retirés du service vu leur age... mais depuis il y a eu Trump et son plan de "355 ships navy".Finalement il n'y a pas que la marine Russe qui "fait du neuf avec du vieux"

The UK is investing £3 billion in nine new Boeing Poseidon P-8A maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), with Norway committing to a further five. The aircraft are sophisticated submarine-hunters designed to scout complex undersea threats.
The aircraft will work together, and with NATO allies, to combat a range of intensifying threats in the North Atlantic, including increased hostile submarine activity.

Just now, Yamato said:
S'ils reprennent la longueur de coque des unités sud-coréennes (classe Sejong de 165m pour 11 000T) ou japonaises (classe Atago de 165m pour 10 000T ou classe Maya de 170m pour 10 250T), il y a peut-être de quoi dégager un peu de marge avec au moins 10m de coque en plus en longueur.
A qui appartiennent ces "designs" ? à NAVSEA ou aux industriels (HHI et JMU) ou encore aux "DGA locales" (DAPA et ATLA) ?
Parce que si le design n'est pas US, un problème se pose... -

Perso cela m'étonne... car j'ai eu écho qu'ils auraient déjà attend les limites de la plateforme avec le Flight III (en terme de poids, de stabilité, d'énergie etc...)Pourquoi ne pas utiliser le DDG 1000 comme base ?
U.S. Navy Considering More Advanced Burke Destroyers as Large Surface Combatant Timeline SlipsThe Navy is looking at “something beyond even a Flight III” combat capability for its new-build destroyers, as its plans for transitioning from building the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to the future Large Surface Combatant continue to evolve and the LSC procurement date continues to slide.
