What's the point of having a Navy?

Please.

Having a powerful navy and airforcenis better than having just a powerful air gorce, would you not agree?

Nice stolen Nazi tech.

if that photo isn't a shoop, its literally 12 billion dollars in flight

...

>What's the point of having a Navy?
Obviously so we can have our planes in range to bomb everyone on short notice.

troll thread

you are just a kanker american. Third world scum... you used to colonize new york. You were our bitches....

its not new york its actually new amsterdam..

ALL HAIL THE DUTCH REPUBLIC

kanker!

Whatever brah. It just werks.

Why does the US have carriers in the pacific if china has DF21 / DF26 antiship ballistic missiles and a constellation of yaogan satellites?

Hell of an observation fellow burger. We paid for that shit you know

wtf Holland

Fucking Ed boy

REEEE
Fuck that little fucking chink Cunt I fucking hope she got agent oranged

Heil sinterklaas!

Nah. Alice Springs cunt.

Yes it fucking sucks. Yes there are loads of boongs.

did the achmeds make it to the Netherlands?

It's not stolen, it's ours now. :^)

Its gives power projection for shorter range multirole fighters

Also nuclear missile subs are pretty important

The point of a navy is to protect your aircraft carriers.

The Soviets figured that shit out since the late 70's.

>whats the point of having a navy
Because you can't launch dozens of nuclear bombs at targets 5000 miles away from a plane

Navies secure trade routes that are essential for massive national economies to exist and make war. They also move sizable armed forces and massive weapons deployments very well

>What's the point of having a Navy?
You can access a good amount of the world from the oceans. What you can't access, they have missiles they can fire to hit you no matter how far away you are from the ocean.

Anyway, as they say, you shouldn't put all of your eggs into one basket. Having an air force, ground force, and sea force means you cover everything you need to militarily.

>Submarines greatest threat is from the air

>what is AA fire

The Ruskies have always been shit tier on the sea. Most of their ports are frozen for the better half of the year. No choice but subs and planes for themz.

It had more to do with Khrushchev's missile fetish.

Why bother building a great fleet, when you could destroy it easily with nuclear weapons in one stand-off attack?

Force projection in regions with no friendly airfields/bases.

More cost-effective for escorting merchant vessels in times of conflict than continuous air patrols.

There's still value in deterrence

Can't wait till somebody nukes you arrogant fucks

rt.com/uk/367120-royal-navy-warships-missiles/
hahaha you fucking britcucks can't even afford to use missiles

>Aircraft's greatest threat is from the surface

Are you starting to see how this works now?

Idk about Canada, but we have invested slightly in missile defence. We're pretty bad-hombres at it actually.

We already nuked ourselves in Nevada. 1st

Underrated

We have that too.

Is there a hi res version of these where I can read all the ship names?

That could have been an amazing get.

because subs can take down ships that carry imported goods like food,vehicles, or anything useful to the human race

>B-2
ugliest plane ever built.
after F-35 ofc

Great point. That setup trumps our fleet in war operations. Luckily we use our fleet for force projection and occupation of waterways which is something the ballistic missile cannot do. It can only bomb shit. I suppose countermeasures is an expanding field of military technology now!

Missile defences are nice, but to beating them just takes saturation, and with nuclear missiles you only need one to get through.

In 1985, Novorossiysk and it's escorting battle group departed the Sea of Japan, sailed to the south of Okinawa and then west across the Pacific. After approximately eight days, the ships turned and headed northwest toward the Kuril Islands, simulating an enemy carrier strike against the Soviet Union.

Tu-142 Bear-J Maritime reconnaissance aircraft picked up the carrier group from several hundred miles away, then alerted and vectored around 20 Tu-22M backfire bombers, each loaded with 3 Kh-22M missiles.

This was conducted in concert with:
>Large amounts of small missile boats armed with SS-N-3, SS-N-9, SS-N-22
>Heavier ships including Battlecruisers armed with SS-N-19 smart missiles
>Aircraft Cruisers armed with SS-N-12
>SSGNs armed with SS-N-19 smart missiles
>Various torpedo strikes, including nuclear torpedoes from SSN and SSKs
>Dozens of land-based cruise missiles

They would hit them with everything they had to overwhelm the enemy missile defense. One of the first scenes in Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising featured this kind of situation. How well would this have worked? We don't know, the war (thankfully) never happened. It was a serious threat in the cold war, but today Russian technology can be assumed to have sufficiently fallen behind enough.

That's my point.

We should also maintain slingers and mounted lancers. Better than not having them amirite?

Naval power is like a mobile fortress in this era. Defense systems and response time are good to have nearby. Also, aircraft carriers.

>Submarines greatest threat is from the air

He's actually right. Helicopters are the best way to deal with submarines. Japan even has specialized helicopter carriers designed for anti-submarine warfare.

Lol no
Missiles sure, but bombs? Doubt it, I live in the city that manufactures S-300s/400s
