Aircraft Carriers III
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Fot he Nimitz, which will be replaced by the JFK in a few years, the extended planned incremental availability time in port and dock is important.
Every US carrier goes through these planned periods where their systems are maintained and tested and new things are added. It's all a part of the plan.

Interesting but with my perfect English not completely easy to read
but fact is IIRC CVN are now normaly deployed for 7 months and with delay for Bush, Nimitz now also seems difficult Navy can do it but again possible for Bush but just.
Bush had left Norfolk the 01 Jun 2016 must be back for 01 Jan 2017 for a deployment of 7 month as planned so considering time for transit Bush must left Norfolk early december, that is playable.
On 7 months about 5 on station for true operationnal mission.
Possible reduced transit time, in general some stop in Allies countries etc... surely possible in max 3 weeks without repl ships except Supply class can move from Norfolk to the Gulf
Edit :
Norfolk to the Gulf 10300 mn
CVN don' t get to be refueled a big advantage over CV... but two refuelings for CG/DDGG to cruise speed have a range of 6000 and 4400 mn, Zumwalt i have 4500.
Other factor replenishment ships speed, for time transit can be forward deployed in more USN have 32 but if they are rattached to the TF have a cr speed of 15 kn 24 x 15 : 360 mn/day : 30 days Norfolk - Gulf
And you can see enormous advantage of one Fast Repl Ships a Supply class wich allow a TF to move about to + 5 kn !!! max 26 kn but on short distances.
20 kn x 24 : 480 mn/day considering 22 days Norfolk - Gulf.

Hummm your sure your system worck
anyway:
4995 according to :

(4903 comes from
)
FORBIN are
all wrong?
Sweet, ofc not all wrong but GE curious ( GE : Google Earth ) a bit lazy here sometimes for type
I provide the screen shot you can see i don' t lie
but 1100 mn of difference 20 % huge !!!For transit Severomorsk - Syria : considering 5500 mn TF speed with tug... 10+ kn : 250 mn/day 22 days saying 20 days, 3 week.
