In the name of de Gaulle, France is armed with one aircraft carrier (not counting the universal amphibious assault ships). The displacement of the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is 42,000 tons, which is significantly more than that of the Italian Giuseppe Garibaldi and Cavour. Up to 40 aircraft can be based on board the ship
Yes, oh, those British gentlemen! How, scoundrels, changed the rules of the game when they started losing the game! But how great they did it! Our history today is a history of not giving a damn about all these agreements, Washington and London combined, which, however, gave rise to a very, very

This class of light cruisers was also called "Colonies". It was assumed that the primary task of these ships would be to protect shipping at a great distance from the metropolis, in the colonies, of which Great Britain had many. And in the second place - action as part of a squadron or formation
"Turn around, son, what are you …". If these words of our Gogol are more applicable to anyone in the Japanese navy, please voice them in the comments. But the fact that the Japanese themselves classified the creation of Yuzuru Hiragi as an "experimental light cruiser" is a fact. Another question is, what did they aim at these
Both laughter and sin. Emmanuel Macron, President of France, has officially announced that a program is currently underway to develop a new nuclear aircraft carrier to replace the country's existing Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier. Stunning news. So much has already been written about Charles de Gaulle, how many times
Artificial intelligence, swarms of drones, new detection systems, ultra-powerful and compact pulse generators, ships without a crew - what will be the future of the naval forces of any country?
The fleet costs money. Not even that. The fleet is worth the sums. Large amounts. In all centuries and times, the navy has been a very expensive attribute, nothing has changed over the past few centuries. Unfortunately, unfortunately because the ships have changed. If the first Russian battleship "Goto Predestination", created

Indeed, thanks to our former allies and the memoirs of the losers, we are more or less imbued with the idea that the German fleet in World War II was something quite formidable, terrible and difficult to destroy. But is this so? How bad are German admirals? In fact, only

Indeed, a very interesting, albeit little-known battle took place on December 28, 1943 in the Bay of Biscay. Two British and 11 German ships came together in a very controversial battle. Norman Wilkinson's painting "The Battle of the Bay of Biscay" A few words about the characters
"Grayvoron" on the eve of tests The program of building small missile ships for several fleets is successfully continuing. On January 30, a solemn ceremony of raising the flag was held in Sevastopol on the new ship "Graivoron", built according to project 21631 "Buyan-M". This is the ninth ship
On December 23, last year, the navy received a new large landing ship "Pyotr Morgunov", the second built on project 11711. In January, the ship made a transition to her duty station as part of the Northern Fleet.

The destroyer USS Zumwalt (DDG-1000) and the LCS-class ship are representatives of two unsuccessful projects Currently, the main surface forces of the US Navy are numerous Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. In addition to them, they were going to build newer and more advanced destroyers Zumwalt, but these plans
After the French heavy cruisers, I am drawn to something light and frivolous. And a better object for applying efforts than this absurdity, perhaps, cannot be found among all the fleets of the countries that participated in the Second World War. An outspoken lady, not a cruiser. Not a destroyer leader. Don't understand what. Topics
The year 2020 has ended. And it makes sense to take stock of the Navy's activities. How are you doing with our military shipbuilding? And how is the fleet preparing to fight? January event with the Supreme Command on the prospects of the Navy On January 9, 2020, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Federation
In fact, here it is worth considering three families at once: "Kuma", "Nagara" and "Sendai", since the differences in ship designs were minimal. The most interesting thing about this project is that the Japanese were not going to build such ships. According to the armament program, the Japanese fleet was to be replenished
The destroyer USS Dewey (DDG-105) with an experimental complex ODIN The US naval forces are showing great interest in laser weapons, and another project of this kind has been brought to tests on a carrier ship.

Sebastien Roblin, one of the smartest and most balanced people in the United States, gave such an interesting opinion: Could America's Aircraft Carriers Survive in a War Against Russia? Not that he took and buried the aircraft carriers together, but he thought about the future of the flat-deck well. And when a person thinks and
Canadians surrenderedCanadians surrendered. More precisely, the British project BAE System "Type 26" defeated the stinginess of Canadian officials. And as a result, the Canadian fleet will be replenished with 15 frigates made on the basis of the BAE System "Type 26" project, but with hefty changes. What could have been changed in the frigate project
Around the aircraft-carrying cruisers of Project 1143, many copies were broken, and the name of their aircraft - Yak-38, has become synonymous with helplessness far beyond the borders of our country. The critics are right in many ways. The Gyrfalcons (project code 1143) were indeed strange ships. And the Yak-38 really was seriously inferior
"Poseidon" - a Doomsday weapon or is it a myth? Another article in Forbes made a fuss, moreover, more in our country than in the United States. Indeed, everyone is interested in how real "Status-6" or "Poseidon" is and whether it is worth fearing and fearing. Naturally, there is more than enough reflections on this topic. AND
Despite the obvious successes of Russian shipbuilding (in particular, the transfer to the fleet last year of the second frigate of Project 22350 "Admiral of the Fleet Kasatonov" and the laying of the first universal amphibious assault ships), the main problem is in no hurry to leave the agenda. How much

After the US and China, let's look at India as expected. This country has been a member of the aircraft carrier club for a very long time, moreover, the Indian Navy used this class of ships "in combat". But now it is still worth thinking about the question in the title, because with Indian aircraft carriers not everything is simple and clear
