in reply to Mother Bones

I think sometimes we forget that aircraft carriers are these pinnacles of technological achievement. It's a pretty wild and impressive set of war technology.

It's also complex and has many points of failure. They aren't fighting a technologically complex enemy.

If the jets keep falling off the carrier... the intimidation factor starts to wane doesn't it?

Good thing the budget for intelligence has been cut.

@ZenHeathen @L1vY@mstdn.social

There's something seriously broken either with the planes (software would be my guess) or with the carrier (they've been talking about decommissioning it for years, looks like it would have been a great idea).

in reply to mastodonphan

@mast0d0nphan @angelastella @geonz @ZenHeathen

Just a general incompetence extending to everything, but mishandled airplanes produce a publicly visible and dramatic outcome.

@ZenHeathen

Deployment extended twice by your friend and mine, Pete Hegseth.

That crew is burned out, and, as far as I can tell, under constant pressure by the houthis (which is why they lost one, iiuc).

in reply to Mother Bones

I think it's only 3 jets lost. The 4th thing was the collision per that article you linked.
in reply to JulieR

Three went overboard including the one in the article. One was accidentally shot down by their own guys but also went into the Red Sea.

** Oh no one of them was a collision.

But whatever the hell is going on over there, it happened again today for a fourth loss!

@abetterjulie I'm pretty sure that's four major mishaps with the Truman, including three F-18 lost. One shot down in December, then the collision at sea that caused the captain to be replaced but had nothing to do with jets, then two jets in the space of a week at the end of April and beginning of May (turns out replacing the captain didn't help…).
in reply to Tobu

@abetterjulie In another thread, someone linked to a ProPublica series on the Pacific navy being understaffed and in decline. There were two collisions of different destroyers, 9 weeks apart, which killed 17 sailors in total. One involved a revamped steering system to drive ships with two people on touch screens instead of about ten, another, the removal of lookouts on the sides of the ship.

We didn't need them anyway... right? Wait, are they being lost with pilots? That's not good. I have little problem with the lost planes (though the lost money that went into them)... But even military pilots are people.
in reply to Mother Bones

Three. They lost three. One was shot down by friendly fire, second rolled off the side and the third was some sort of deck overun while landing. There was a fourth incident involving a collision of the ship with a civilian vessel.

Sleep deprived sailors make mistakes. Some of them are costly. Carriers are noisy AF. Hard to get any sleep when flight ops are going on. There are sailors in bunks trying to get some sleep 36 inches below the surface of that flight deck in the photo.

in reply to felis_catus_domesticus

@felis_catus_domesticus Yes, and the commission keeps being re-extended by Hegseth.

If sleep deprivation is going to lead to loss of a $67,000,000 equipment every day or two this gov't should probably do something about that!

They'll keep looking, and eventually realize they'll have to make their own. I'm willing to bet there isn't a single person on the landmass that wants the US to invade.

They'll try to get someone to move there, acquire citizenship, then claim they want the US to invade. It's their only hope.
