Quote HistoryQuoted: I've been on the Eisenhower, Kennedy and HMS Invincible. They were all very impressive. HMS Intrepid and US Ticonderoga were pretty cool too. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Most of the cold war IIRC, the issue was that the early US subs (nautilius) couldn't keep up with nuclear powered CV's though. It came as quite a shock to US naval planners when a russian sub (november class IIRC) chased down the enterprise shortly after it was commissioned. Its partly for this reason later US subs were quite speedy too. |

How do they paint the sections of the hull resting on the keel blocks? Jack it up slightly and move one out, paint it, let it dry and replace/repeat? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not first hand knowledge on my part, but I have read that each class of nuclear attack sub in the navy had 2 propeller designs - a low-noise stealth prop, and a noisier, but higher speed prop. The ones doing carrier escort were supposedly fitted with the prop that was noisier, but faster. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Nautilus class didnt, and reputedly they were noisy as fuck too. But US sub doctrine was different than soviet so there was some significant divergence in design priorities until late in the cold war. What is this...the olden days?

Funny how the MSM fails to notice this?  "During a time of no major war the world's wealthiest nation -- equipped with the largest, most highly trained military, with an immediately ready air force, silent nuclear subs, and all the accoutrements of modern-day imaging, intelligence, counter-intelligence, and active defense system -- decides to fix it's boats in it's mainland docks. More at 10." |

Ratings for that newscast may be lackluster. |

Nautilus class!?!? What is this...the olden days? 
The original part of this post was how the enterprise got run down by november class ssn waaay back in the day which caused a doctrinal realignment back in the day. More news at 9... |
