Incontro ravvicinato .... nei cieli del Golfo ....

 

Now, the WHOLE Story of That One Time an Iranian Patrol Plane Buzzed an American Flattop - Iranian P-3 was performing special recon maneuver ....

Sometime probably in the summer of 2012, a P-3F patrol plane belonging to the Iranian air force flew real close to the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, as the flattop sailed in the Persian Gulf.

Il CNO .... aiuto USA alle Filippine se la Cina compie mosse aggressive nel Mar Cinese Meridionale ....

 

Admiral Jonathan Greenert, the U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, is in the Philippines this week in a visit designed to bolster defense ties between the two allies.

While there, Greenert told students of the National Defense College of the Philippines that the U.S. would fulfill its treaty obligations by coming to the Philippines’ aid in the event of a Chinese occupation of disputed territories.
Of course, we would help you,” Greenert said.

Cominciano i test per la Uss CVN Ford

 

http://defensetech.org/2014/02/20/next-generation-carrier-set-for-testing/#more-22386

 

The testing plans for the Ford are slightly prolonged and more labor intensive because the first-in-class ship includes a wide range of new systems and technologies such as a new dual band radar, nuclear reactor, arresting gear, electronics, automation and an electro-magnetic catapult system

 

......The Ford-class carriers are being built with three times the electrical power generating capacity compared to Nimitz-class carriers, Moore said. The USS Ford will have four 26-megawatt generators bringing a total of 104 megawatts to the ship
