The USN vs the rest of the Navies in the entire world.
Get your fill of sci-fi, science, and mockery of stupid ideas

Actually off topic makes infinitely more sense since it is anything goes while other sci fi is for discussing "other sci-fi series besides SW/ST"BlkbrryTheGreat wrote:There is no generic "fiction" thread; this is as good a place as any to have it.
Can you point me to that thread? It'd be interesting to see what arguments were brought up on both sides. Since it seems nobody's going to do it in this one...Sea Skimmer wrote:USN wins, this thread has been done before anyway and belongs in off topic, reality is not sci fi.
A search should bring it up, but you'd probably need to look in the search forum. Basically the USN stand keep away from the worlds SSK fleet by staying out to sea, its own nuke boats provide ample protection and on the surface 90% of the world warships could be sunk by a single F/A-18 sortie. In this scenario many of the OPFOR warships would run out of fuel before they even reached the battlefield to die under thousands of Harpoons and SLAM's.RogueIce wrote:Can you point me to that thread?

Probably at whatever range the US Navy decides to start sending out aircraft sorties.Howedar wrote:At what range is the battle joined, Blkbrry?

More on the lines of no one has more then a fraction of the capability. 90% of the worlds warships would require a single sortie to sink, only about eight could hope to repel a squadron level attack. The USN has more active nuclear submarines then every other fleet combine and then some and SSK's are fodder on the high seas.Omega-13 wrote: Keep swallowing all the CNN presents bullshit
A carrier at sea...turns into a carrier at war,
i watched that rediculous documentary,
you don't hear shit about other navy's capabilities in america, because they don't ever play them,
sure easy to say if you live in a bubbleSea Skimmer wrote: More on the lines of no one has more then a fraction of the capability.
where the hell are you getting these figures? puff out of thin air?90% of the worlds warships would require a single sortie to sink, only about eight could hope to repel a squadron level attack.
of course they are, infact I heard their crews were so incompetent, that they ran into Moby Dick.SSK's are fodder on the high seas.
The Russian Navy can sink the entire Chinese Navy incredibly easily- all it would take would be the Pacific Fleet's 949A Oscar II SSGNs, guarded by Akula SSNs. The surface combatants need not get involved.Arrow Mk84 wrote:I think the USN takes it. The only real problem would be the British navy and possibly the Chinese. Now if this was set twenty years ago, the Russian navy would pose a very serious threat.
But keep in mind that I'm biased on this one!
So what about the other navies launching their own sorties and defense patrols?Sea Skimmer wrote:

I don't know which side to take in this debate yet since I don't have enough information, but are you serious about using the Congress Shit-o-Meter to gauge combat threat of a weapon? They shat their pants at the MiG 25 and 31 too, turned out to be no big deal.Thats why congress was shitting their pants when they first heard of the Sunburn.
The Moskit (SS-N-22 SUNBURN) does have impressive abilities- but it's range (250km) does not make it a credible offensive threat against an entire US carrier battlegroup without being supported by a host of other units, as in any naval engagement. If a US surface ship closes the distance to use Harpoons on it, then it's a threat.JodoForce wrote: I don't know which side to take in this debate yet since I don't have enough information, but are you serious about using the Congress Shit-o-Meter to gauge combat threat of a weapon?
It was the military who shit their pants over the MiG-25. It's actually a pretty cool interceptor- it's not Mikoyan-Gurevich's fault that they got it's role wrong. They didn't shit their pants over the MiG-31, but the MiG-31 is an extremely effective interceptor for protecting the Motherland. It is capable of intercepting both bombers and low-flying cruise missiles, and it's radar is absurdly powerfulThey shat their pants at the MiG 25 and 31 too, turned out to be no big deal.
