There's also a lack of air traffic controllers on US carriers?
From my 15 years experience in the navy I know for a fact the US navy is incompetent AF. I don't know why it suddenly became news they are losing aircraft, it happens more often than you think.
Consider for a moment how this administration is going to effect competentcy rates, the leadership(l8r admiral) and soldiers maliciously complying if not out right sabotage here soon.
I just thought about maintenance for a while and yah I wouldn't want to be a pilot right now. Or a submariner... They should be fine right? 😬
Lmao. Dude, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Just pump the JP8 and shut it.
I don't? I have done 7 deployments with US ships in our combat battle group. I've done countless exercises with US warships. I've had fighter jets being catapulted a few meters away from me when I visited the USS enterprise, you know, the carrier from Top Gun, former largest warship on earth, now decommissioned. I still have a zippo from that ship.
I was electronic warfare commander so I worked in the CIC, with my nose on top of what's around us, the group with the highest situational awareness in the CIC (air, surface and subsurface). Next to that I was chief maritime Intel on board.
I've seen the US navy fuck up so many times, I could write a book. Turkey has 4 OHP class frigates because the US accidentally shot live rounds during an exercise, destroying the bridge of a Turkish ship killing everyone on it including the captain and the battle group commander. Oopsie. This is just one of maaaany major fuckups.
But sure, I don't know anything, you probably know better. Right?.... Right?
Look what I found, just a part of my collection.
That zippo is from the USS Enterprise, that E2 batch too (squadron one two three).
Edit:
This is one of the OHP's turkey got for having their bridge blasted to pieces by the US:
