Aircraft/Amphibious carriers must submerge to avoid SSC destruction. UPDATED 1. 5 May 2. SUBMARINE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS: THE FUTURE FOR THE U. S. NAVY IN THE 2. CENTURY. . The aircraft carrier, whatever realistic scenario of action is drawn- -that of operations in great waters or of amphibious support close to shore- -will be exposed to a wider range of threat than the submarine must face. In a shoreward context it risks attack not only by carrier- borne but also by land- based aircraft, land- based missiles and the submarine itself..

The era of the submarine as the predominant weapon of power at sea must therefore be recognized as having begun. Many historians and war futurists have boldly ventured that the future of naval warfare rests with submarines particularly Andrew Krepenevich who created the USN's cruise missile- special operations submarines. This view, a vision of a future populated by .

Vickers, who envisions advanced nations employing largely submersible navies, including submersible fleet replenishment ships, maritime pre- positioning ships, and assault landing submarines, as well as the traditional attack submarine. But, in Vickers' scenario, complementing these vessels would be a new class of nuclear powered .
It is often missed that the submarine itself has been a projector of forms of air power, and that virtually all major nations have, at one time or another, experimented with . The French, in the years prior to the Second World War, produced a series of small, submarine- launched floatplanes designed by Marcel Besson to be carried and flown by a large . Later, off Oregon, the I- 2. E- 1. 4Y1 that, in two attacks, dropped four phosphorous bombs triggering small forest fires; other Japanese submarines used these airplanes to conduct reconnaissance flights over the Aleutians, Australia, New Zealand, Madagascar, and Africa.
Japan had even more ambitious plans to bomb the Panama Canal with larger Aichi Seran M- 6. A1 attack planes launched from the huge (for their day) I- 4. I- boats. The end of the Second World War likewise brought an end to actual attempts to build submarine- launched airplanes, but marked the beginning of efforts to incorporate both cruise and ballistic missiles in the armament suites of newer submarines. As a result, the international submarine community fully embraced the missile revolution, starting with early generation cruise missiles (typified by the American experience with the Republic Loon and the Chance Vought Regulus I and II), next with nuclear- armed ballistic missiles (exemplified by the Polaris, Poseidon, and Trident), and finally with nuclear and conventionally armed advanced cruise missiles (such as the Harpoon and Tomahawk). It is virtually a certainty that, at some point, submarines will serve as launching platforms for sophisticated unmanned air vehicles. For that matter, it is not inconceivable that submarines might some day operate specialized piloted craft as well. To better understand the history of submarine aircraft carriers, you have to start with the Japanese who pioneered this form of military power.
Navy and marines geared towards fighting a Soviet . Some criticize hindsight as . Ironically the Navy/mc are in the reverse situation the Japanese were in WWII; they think they should be geared to fight at sea (the Imperial Japanese Navy- IJN or AKA: the Japanese Combined Fleet) and take advanced naval bases against a mythical nation- state foe in lieu of fighting an inland foe, which to do well means no foot- slogging from wheeled trucks. This is because the Navy/mc are still organized in a knee- jerk fashion against the Japanese surprise aircraft carrier and submarine attacks at Pearl Harbor and island conquests across the Pacific.
After WWII, the Soviet communist threat was exchanged for the Japanese to perpetuate the bad, do- only- what- strokes- our- ego WW2 re- enactment force structure. We did say BAD; because the good aspects of the WWII effort; seaplanes, raiders, dazzle paint etc., a spirit of innovation were shit- canned by the U. S. Navy/marines in favor of a stale, pale gray ww. Royal Navy look like radical reformers. They had not mass- produced Emily 4- engined flying boats, patrol submarines and only had a slight advantage in aircraft carriers. Admiral Yamamoto was obsessed with destroying our fleet in glorious battle even more than our own Admiral Nimitz; his submarines were used to recon ahead for the IJN instead of sinking our troop and supply ships.
The IJN though they had THE BEST SEAPLANES of the war, overlooked supplying a seaplane to their cargo ships to ward off our submarines, which is what actually defeated them; we starved their ground troops out by Mac. Arthur's . So even if Yamamoto and Nimitz got to duel each other's capital ships to the death, it would not have mattered since it was WHO CONTROLLED THE LAND ISLANDS that counted..
ASW you lose. Next, for some strange providential reason, they did not block the Panama canal to stop us from quickly moving forces from the Atlantic to Pacific oceans (or vise- a- versa) as the Germans strangely did not take the Straits of Gibraltar to block the Mediterranean sea. At the end of WW2 they were getting ready to strike the locks of the Panama canal with I- 4.
Aichi Seran seaplane fighter- bombers. The videos below detail this near disaster that we averted by the war ending before the Japanese I- 4. Panama. The point is that had Japan waited and built up her Navy instead of attacking at Pearl Harbor in 1. America probably would have slept a lot longer before joining the war. After Pearl Harbor, Hitler as Japan's ally declared war on the U.
S. Conspiracy theorists are right to suggest FDR used poorly defended Pearl Harbor as . We must remember Japan's mortal enemy, Russia (Soviet Union) did NOT declare war against her until the war was almost over in 1. We would have proceeded to defeat Germany until 1. Japan just as Russia had done. THEN- -all the imperial hotheads in Japan would still be around and their fleets ready with carriers, submarines and long- range seaplane patrol bombers and army rested and ready for a hard fight. The second PHASE of WWII could have lasted another 5 years from 1.
WHO SAYS WE WOULD HAVE WON? It may have unfolded that we turned to the threat of or actual atomic bombardment of Japan after 1. Had the Japanese sued for peace with her military machine matured and imperial hotheads still in power we might have went into a .
Would Coca Cola and blue jeans appealing to the younger generation have brought down the Japanese WWII era hotheads as they grew old or would killing them off still be required? Japan not humbled by WWII could have been in the same situation as Red China is today. You can see this American . The first thing America did after Pearl Harbor was to send out all her long- range Gato class patrol submarines to sink every supply ship in sight to starve/isolate the Japanese islands. Many military professionals and historians note it was our submarines not our aircraft carriers that starved the Japanese into submission. Many a Japanese Army ground offensive withered more due to a lack of supplies than low- grade marine corps fighting skills.
Flying overhead were 4,0. PBY Catalina seaplane patrol bombers searching out for their supply and warships to destroy them and vector in our submarines like the Germans used the FW2. Condor except most of our patrol planes were more versatile and could land on the sea. Unlike the clever Churchill, the Japanese were unable to put together adequate convoy defenses and point air defense fighters like the Hurricat into service to defeat our PBYs. This is weird because they had arguably the best fighter floatplanes of the war (Rufe, Rex) and simply could have put one on each merchant ship to ward off both U. S. Navy/mc on the other hand, reacted to the Japanese Navy's set- up and created a force structure to gobble up islands with frontal marine beach assaults covered by aircraft carriers and battleship/cruiser bombardment to one- land- chunk- at- a- time keep the Japanese Navy away by Seabee- constructed air base air power. This WW2 island- hopping force structure is still somewhat with us today with a Navy with 1.
WW2 re- enactment beach assaults to take islands from a nation- state enemy that doesn't exist. Even worse, the enemy is now sub- national and fights far inland shielded from predictable air strikes by difficult terrain, civil populations and C3. D2, which requires force be applied against land not sea- based targets. Dollar- for- dollar the best way to bombard land by airplanes is by heavy bombers which are best land based or seaplanes that can operate with just tender resupply ships not aircraft carriers.
However, the corrupt Navy/mc bureaucracy gave up on seaplanes in 1. Iowa class battleships. The Navy/mc has consciously chosen to relive the WWII . Had the Japanese won WWII by delaying until they were fully ready we would be emulating their innovations like long- range patrol seaplane bombers and submarine aircraft carriers not what we defaulted to in a knee- jerk of WW2 expediency. At war's end off the shore of Okinawa, Japanese humans acted as precision guidance means and attacked our fleet with the first all- out guided missile attacks.
Had the war continued and the Japanese improved the speed and number of these kamikaze guided missiles, the entire viability of the large aircraft carrier and packing marines like sardines in amphibious ships would have been put into question in 1. The Geiger board warned the USMC to get out of the habit of massing troops by the thousands in vulnerable surface ships and to use seaplanes citing the threat of nuclear weapons which could easily wipe out entire fleets. Today the precision- guided missile and torpedo can render the same fleet- annihilating effects but the Navy/Mc continue to operate like its a WW2 cake- walk.
