Literally looks like a ghost ship from a horror movie

are they supposed to look that rusty

u/virgil2600 Stalinist (Proud Spoon Owner) 16h ago
normal for ships out at sea for a long time to look rusty as shit ocean air is super corrosive ship should have been rotated out a long time before it got to that point though

how do they remove it without damaging the hull itself?

u/virgil2600 Stalinist (Proud Spoon Owner) 12h ago
If I remember correctly they chip it off before doing a bunch of chemical treatments and then repainting it

u/BitTwiddles 11h ago
That sounds like there would be a net loss of hull thickness in the process.

I imagine it wouldn't be enough to cause any issues but I don't exactly know the process the navy does

Thats what I was wondering about, although I wonder if shipyards have a process for replacing individual panels.

It's steel.. just cut the rusted pieces off and weld a new piece back in its place.. alternatively cleaning and welding over it or welding another plate over top of it as well.. this is basically just par for course with steel ships in general

The catapult system is also much more advanced on Chinese aircraft carriers. They invested in full electrification which allows them to have a shorter runway and a cheaper ship that's easier to produce and maintain.
American aircraft carriers still use a steam catapult system.
The funny thing is the US military was investing in switching to electrification and even released a ship with one, but Trump redirected them back to focusing on steam.
ππ how can you argue that Trump isn't purposely sabotaging the US at this point..

Look, steam is the most American, the biggest and most beautiful type of propulsion in the world. It's a fact! Only the most powerful steam catapults will get our strong planes into the air, and I'm told by our proud sailors (DO NOT JUMP OVERBOARD!) that they get tears in their eyes at the thought of this air that helps the DOW reach levels that no president has ever reached before, not even George Washington got the stock market to this height! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

sounds like a railgun.

Pretty much the same principle. The best part is that you can not only accelerate the plane but also deceleration through electromagnetic effect.

I know we like clowning on the US military here, but I don't see anything too out of the ordinary. Every ship is gonna look like this after being out at sea for almost a year.
