starting with a valid question why the u.s navy is so powerful and why no country would dare infringe
on the waterways of the usa every nation gets goose bumps when it comes to fighting the u.s navy
the u.s navy is the world's largest and most modern fleet with a diverse range of military
weaponry ranging from massive aircraft carriers that terrified the adversary with their sheer size
to stealth drones is that what makes it the most powerful one what does elon musk the tech genius
and ceo of tesla have to say about it hello and welcome to elon musk evolution if you're a musk

we are going to explain to you as revealed by elon musk why you never want to mess with the us navy
the united states navy possesses the most ships of any naval force in the world furthermore the
united states has a diverse range of missions and a vast area of responsibility states musk the u.s
navy which frequently conducts operations in the pacific atlantic and indian oceans
as well as the mediterranean sea persian gulf and even the horn of africa has a worldwide influence
that no other naval force can match in addition u.s navy ships are involved throughout missions
in asia and europe the fleet now numbers more than 300 ships by 2021 the number of operational ships
is expected to rise to 305 by the year 2049 the u.s plans to add 355 ships over the next 30 years
according to a 30-year shipbuilding plan we'll start with the aircraft carriers
literally the steel rulers of the seas and oceans have long been the u.s navy's defining feature the
fearsome power of american aircraft carriers is one of the most effective deterrents against enemy
forces that do not need the use of nuclear weapons musk further added other nations are still unable
to match the us navy's record for the number of aircraft carriers both in terms of engineering
cognition and financial size the nimitz and the gerald r ford which recently arrived on board are
the two operational classes of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers the newest aircraft carrier
gerald ford entered service in 2019 and is capable of hauling up to 90 aircraft units and helicopters
it was inherited in steam from the 38th president of the u.s mentioned musk during its development
moreover 17.5 billion dollars in budget bonds and 757 liters of ping were used the ship is 11 106
feet long and 256 feet broad and it weighs around 100 000 tons it has the height of a skyscraper
with several dozen stories as a result the gerald r ford is a mini nate in and of itself capable
of traveling anywhere on the planet this enables the u.s navy to deploy its aircraft as quickly as
feasible as a result there will be less reliance on not just grounded u.s military outposts but
also military bases the aircraft carrier wing has the capability of destroying hundreds of targets
every day non-stop over several weeks meanwhile the nimitz class is beginning to phase out
by 2049 the navy intends to have 12 aircraft carriers given that the u.s now has 11 of the
total 21 aircraft carriers and uses them to support our military all over the world their
naval superiority will only grow in the future the gerald r ford is capable of carrying the latest
f-35 f-18 e-18 and f-18 fighters as well as modern hawkeye fighters and electronic warfare aircraft
which is the next item on our list as a successor to the successful fa-18f super horn explained
elon musk the ea-18 growler which succeeded the previous ea-6b growler is an electronic attack
aircraft with comparable features but is lighter the growler is in reality a two-seat super hornet
like very comparable features likewise its m61 internal cannon was replaced with an alq-227
communication suppression device the aircraft also has an alq-99 radar signal suppression
devices making it one of the most effective weapons against enemy communication systems
according to musk we had the following suppression of enemy air defenses with the help of uav's
jamming or ground communications radars as well as real hits and avaya anti-radar heart missiles
among the primary capabilities of growler worth emphasizing jamming of air defenses from afar as
well as hostile onboard early warning stations and enemy fighters the ea-18 carries am-ram
air-to-air missiles for defense and is fitted with a multi-mode aesa apg-79 radar as well as
an enhanced control system on the helmet as part of a classified growler maneuver called
the unconventional electronic attack the united states owns 114 ea-18s as of may 2014 with each
aircraft costing more than 100 million dollars from the air in musk's own words we'll now
plunge deep and right beneath the surface where the virginia class assaults may be found with a
length of 377 feet a diameter of 34 feet and a water displacement of 7 800 tons this submarine
is unquestionably the greatest port generation multi-purpose submarine in the u.s because the
seawolf class submarines proved to be considered too costly costing around 4.4 billion dollars
per unit the los angeles class is replaced by the virginia model the submarines were so successful
that the u.s navy has already acquired 21 of them after only 20 years of manufacture the project
will consist of 30 submarines divided across five blocks one of which ssn 795 will be deployed
this year with its predecessor ssn 790. each virginia class submarine has four 533 millimeter
torpedo tubes capable of firing mk-48 adcap homing torpedoes mines and underwater autonomous vehicles
in addition to vertical launchers for tomahawk missiles musk explained that the virginia class
is also outfitted with unique diving cameras and is capable of carrying sealed mini submarines
while on the offensive they also serve as operational observation platforms equipped with
a full complement of sonars lights sail and shin sonars as well as esm and optoelectric sensors
to detect hostile signals immediately all of this information is immediately transmitted to other
navy units both on land and in the air the ohio class submarines in addition to the virginia class
are a source of anxiety for the us's adversaries four ssgn submarines ohio michigan florida and
georgia delivered the letter as per elon musk the u.s navy supplied more holes for ballistic missile
submarines as a result of the chb-2 accord the navy got a class of submarines equipped with 154
tomahawk cruise missiles after spending 4 billion on refitting many submarines asds or dds modules
are more to the two mines nearest to the wheelhouse which is fitted with airlock chambers
to ensure the evacuation of combat swimmers as part of special missions the ship can hold up to
66 people including marines and seals this number can be increased to 102 in the event of short-term
missions the submarine could carry 24 d-5 trident ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads before it
was modernized revealed musk block 3 tomahawk and block 4 tomahawk have since taken their position
block 3cs are equipped with a 1 000 pound conventional warhead with a 1000 mile range
block 3d has a payload of 166 tons cluster bombs and a range of 100 miles all of these missiles
feature numerous navigation systems and may be targeted using an internal navigation system
a mac or ordinary gps for all the iconic classic destroyers arleigh burke named after the famed
admiral of world war ii is waiting for us on the surface these ships are the u.s navy's crown
jewels and among the world's most well-balanced and efficient ships a total of 89 such ships are
claimed to have been built with 68 currently in service with the navy and six more on the way
these ships account for one-fifth of the u.s navy according to musk the aegis system which is in
charge of guiding anti-aircraft missiles fired at approaching targets is at the heart of the arleigh
burke combat section it may also coordinate the defensive efforts of the whole naval surface group
and fire at enemy targets over long distances using data from the e2d hawkeye planes furthermore
the ship is equipped with sm-3 missiles that can destroy ballistic missiles ensuring that hostile
submarines are not a threat the ships are armed with six mk-46 anti-submarine torpedoes and the
mh-60 helicopters are just there to help with anti-submarine operations although hangers are
more commonly found on later variants of early bird types mention musk the class's glaring
flaw was its lack of anti-ship capabilities which included eight nearly antiquated harpoon missiles
the reason for this is that there was no serious surface danger to them at the time arleigh burke
was created although today's experts at lockheed martin are already working on future anti-ship
missiles for the fleet especially for the early bird the ships are excellent in terms
of conventional armaments the act of testing combat lasers in multiple ships is the last
but not least reason why any attack against the u.s navy is guaranteed to fail says elon musk
american engineers will be able to refine their advancements and build the most powerful laser
weaponry capable of being mounted on u.s navy boats although the geneva convention prohibits the
use of lasers to target humans we can reasonably conclude that targeting enemy ships with explosive
ordnance and fuel reserves will result in terrible repercussions for the crew which would be another
nightmare for anybody unfriendly to the us navy so do you believe someone would dare to attack
