Although all aircraft carriers in the United States are nuclear-powered and can supplement nuclear fuel for decades, the United States only has the power system of the aircraft carrier, and other equipment and systems of the aircraft carrier will also age; At the same time, although the United States has the largest number of aircraft carriers in the world, the frequency of using aircraft carriers in the United States is also very high. Even if the US Navy invests a lot of money to maintain aircraft carriers every year, it is still prone to equipment aging when performing tasks, such as the failure of fixed carrier-based equipment, which eventually leads to the carrier-based aircraft being blown into the sea by the wind.
The US Navy may have made some operational mistakes.
Although the US Navy has the most experience in aircraft carrier operations, some soldiers of the US Navy often make mistakes. For example, this aircraft carrier is carrying out a mission in the Mediterranean, but there is actually not much wind in the Mediterranean. Even if there is a hurricane, the US Navy should give an early warning, transfer all carrier aircraft to the hangar of the aircraft carrier or check the fixed devices of the carrier aircraft again. However, it is obvious that the US Navy did not make a forecast, which eventually led to the carrier aircraft being blown into the sea by strong winds. This is the first similar accident in the world.
American aircraft carriers are not invincible.
Although the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier has a strong combat effectiveness against the group aircraft, after fighting with various naval formations of the U.S. Navy, the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier against the group aircraft can even be comparable to that of all naval vessels in some small countries, so many people think that the U.S. aircraft carrier is invincible against the group aircraft; But the truth is that American aircraft carriers often have accidents. For example, the advanced American F35 fighter plane once crashed into the sea in the South China Sea, so the American navy can also be defeated. At present, China has three aircraft carriers, and its naval strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it is not afraid of any enemy.
