挑戰新聞軍事精華版--五個福特級航艦的概況認知

1.福特級是40年來第一個新級別的航艦。 2.飛行甲板重新安排，福特級比尼米茲級每日起降架次增加33％。 3.第一艘配備電磁彈射器的美國航艦。 4.人力減少，全壽期減少40億美元的薪水支出。 5.福特級是第一艘採用電力推進而非蒸汽鍋爐的航艦。 (軍情與航空2015年09月25日) 5 Things You Might Not Know About CVN 78/Ford Class 1) USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is the lead ship in the Ford-class of aircraft carrier, the first new class in more than 40 years. CVN 78 will be delivered in spring of 2016 as the fleet numerical replacement to CVN 65 (USS Enterprise). Follow on Ford class carriers will begin the phased replacement of Nimitz-class carriers. 2) Because the island is smaller and farther aft than the Nimitz‐class, increasing space for flight deck operations and aircraft maintenance, CVN 78 is capable of generating 33 percent more sorties (flight missions) per day than Nimitz‐class carriers. 3) An Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS), similar to the system that powers many of today’s roller coasters, replaces steam catapults, enabling a smoother launch and capability to support the air wing of the future. 4) The Ford class design enables the Navy to operate the ship with less manpower, saving the Navy more than $4 billion in total ownership costs over each ship’s 50‐year life, when compared to today’s Nimitz class aircraft carriers. 5) CVN 78 is the first aircraft carrier to make a significant leap to electrical power, with three times the generating capacity of Nimitz class to allow replacing legacy steam‐powered systems and providing margins and ship weight allowance to incorporate future technologies.(navylive.dodlive.mil)
