Aircraft carriers – The Art of War

Technology and fire power have simplified the Art of War to a game of arithmetic. The Americans have perfected this game for the last 60 plus years to rule the world by its sheer military might. It is a game of I can hit you and you can’t hit me. It is a game of I can drop 100 bombs or 1000 bombs on you and you can’t do anything about it.

The aircraft carriers, other than the nuclear arsenal that could blast this world into dust, are the core of the American war strategy. They are like floating death stars, mobile and can strike at the enemy in every corner of the earth. The only concern of the Americans is the sinking of an aircraft carrier. And to prevent this from happening, the aircraft carriers are protected by several layers of defence, in the air and under the sea and at sea level. The aircraft carriers will be a top priority target and must not be hit.

The aircraft carrier itself is an extremely expensive piece of technology and homes to thousands of soldiers and other war equipment. The supporting force and equipment to protect and defend the carrier are just as expensive, if not more. Acquiring an aircraft carrier is only the beginning of a huge acquisition of hardware and resources before it can go operation. The aircraft carrier is a very destructive and fearsome force. But it can be sunk and would be a priority target to be sunk. A simple example is the deployment of oil rigs in the South China Sea. The oil rigs are like the aircraft carriers, but unarmed, and have become easy targets of the Vietnamese. Hundreds of Vietnamese boats are attempting to ram and sink it. The Chinese responded by cordoning the rigs with hundreds of ships, probably submarines and aircraft to protect the rigs.

So far, there are no enemies of the Americans that are able to pose a threat to an aircraft carrier group. No one has the technology and capability to do so. And this gives the Americans the confidence and eagerness to wage wars, to threaten and attack any country that refuses to tow the line. But this is history. The Chinese purposefully develop anti aircraft carrier missiles, the DF21, to strike and sink aircraft carriers. With a range of more than 3000 nautical miles, it means that any aircraft carrier within that range from the Chinese coast could be sunk by these missiles, a more sophisticated and deadly drone. The DF21s are a cheap way to take on high value targets like aircraft carriers. Each missile would cost only a fraction of the aircraft carrier and China could send a couple of hundreds D21s in waves against a carrier. And it would be very cost effective.

The aircraft carriers to an enemy that is capable of taking it down at long range is just like sitting ducks in a pond. They would no longer be able to deploy their military might, to be able to hit the enemy but not being hit, when the enemy can now hit it first. The formidable floating death stars are floating death platforms and are very vulnerable to attacks. It is still a simple strategy in the Art of War, of I can hit you, you can’t hit me. Now the table is turned. The aircraft carriers cannot be within the range of the DF21s without risking everything on board. It is no longer the untouchable fortress, safe and secure, and extremely deadly.

Technology has caught up with the aircraft carriers. If Iran were to possess enough DF21s, would the Americans dare to move their aircraft carriers into the Indian Ocean or Gulf of Arabia? Would the Americans dare to contemplate sailing the 7th Fleet into the Straits of Taiwan as a show of force to intimidate China?

Anyone thinking of acquiring aircraft carriers must know that the intended enemy will acquire killer drones to sink the carriers. The Art of War is playable from both sides. No one side has the advantage of initiative and military superiority all the time. One can dream on striking the enemy first, preventive and preemptive surgical strikes, so can the enemy. One can keep spending money on more expensive weapons, so can the enemy. The ‘enemy’ will be strategising on every counter moves to defend itself and to strike at the weakest link or most valuable targets of the aggressor.

The enemies are not dead or dumb. What one can do, the enemy will be doing something else to counter every move made. You have aircraft carriers, the enemy will be ready to sink them. The American carrier groups were invincible but no more.

  3. The PLA's YJ-12: a supersonic anti-ship cruise missile is more threatening to the US navy than the DF-21. It has a range of 400km and can be launched from land, sea and air.

    This missile out-ranges the Aegis cruise missiles of 100+km range. In a saturated situation, there might be 100 YJ-12s heading the carrier battle group. And they have 45 seconds to respond.

  4. The days of aircraft carriers are coming to an end. Aircraft carriers are only usable when the enemies cannot hit back. Once the enemies have that capability, it does not make sense to risk a whole carrier that can be sunk by a few missiles or drones that cost only 'a few pennies' relative to the cost of the carriers and the aircraft and all it carries.

  5. If they can have human strapped with bombs and am prepared to die then they can have also suicide fighter plane pilots just simply crashed onto the aircraft carriers and goes down with them.

    One or two or three planes at minimum costs crashing into multi billions aircraft carriers.

    Learn from the Japs suicide squads. Just promise the current suicide pilots that they be going to heaven and seven lovely virgins waiting for them will do.

    For Chinese suicide pilots, tell them honour to die for their country and seven lovely mei meis also waiting for them in the karaoke lounges.

    Cheap, good and fast.

  6. No need to sacrifice human lives anymore. Drones is now everywhere and cheap like hell. It is only a matter of range and precision.

    The Chinese and the Russians have their own GPS to do the job. This time another cruise missile struck a Chinese embassy or institution, several Chinese cruise missiles will be on their way.

    No more American crap and humiliating excuses.

  7. Make love, peace and joy but not war. They should just share share, 50-50, embrace each other differences, compete with each other for goodness, sports and trade not military.

  8. Whether got carrier or not, no matter how badly equipped is one's military , MOST countrymen would unite & always find ways to sabotage the enemies to protect their own communites. Recall how the Chinese fought a much better equipped Japs invaders, trading space for time, even overseas Chinese also helped to resist the Japs.

    How the India resist the english colonialist invaders even it took a long time and much patience

    eventually they took their land and freedom back from a much stronger enemies

  9. If Singapore is going to buy that helicopter carrier, how much more equipment and defensive ships and submarines would be needed to protect this sitting duck? When hostility is declared, it must quickly sail out to sea to be out of range of enemy attacks.
