Om den skadats hade väl fartyget tvingats ligga stilla en längre tid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motsvarar väl Kommendör i Sverige (OF-5). FC på ett hangarfartyg (+ annat större fartyg, typ) har väl den graden och ansvarar för fartygets framförande och skötsel. Sedan har man på ett sånt fartyg även en "Carrier Air Goup Commander" som ansvarar för flyget inkl personal (så även de ombordbaserade). Även det en "Captain"/ Kommendör. Rimligen finns väl nån ansvarsfördelning för olika lägen där. Och över dessa står då en "strike group commander" med Konteramirals grad. Eller nåt sånt...

vikingman Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 USS Harry S Truman tillbaka på banan efter kollisionen! Den tillfälliga reparationen skedde på Souda Bay, Kreta. Grundligare reparation kommer att ske vid nästa underhåll på varv som kommer att ske framöver. Även något om befälhavarens entledigande.

vikingman Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Ronald Reagan (foreground) operates with Kitty Hawk (center) and Abraham Lincoln (background) on her first cruise in June 2006. Public domain. USS Ronald Reagan goes into dry dock, expected to emerge in late 2026 BREMERTON, Wash. — The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan has begun a maintenance stint that will keep it from deployment for 17 months, Navy officials said. The Reagan, commissioned in July 2003 was homeported at Yokosuka, Japan, from 2015 to 2024 to bolster U.S. forces in the eastern Pacific region and counter Chinese naval expansion. The carrier moved to Naval Base Kitsap, Wash., in 2024, with the USS George Washington replacing it in Japan. For the overhaul, the Reagan is moved to dry dock at Bremerton, where all the water is drained out, allowing workers access to the hull, propellers and other machinery that is normally submerged. Upgrades and repairs are completed incrementally. Of the 11 aircraft carriers in the Navy, the Reagan and the USS John C. Stennis are unavailable now for sea duty. The Stennis has been at HII-Newport News Shipbuilding, Va., since 2021 undergoing maintenance that includes modernization and the time-consuming refueling of the nuclear reactors to allow for an additional 25 years of operations on the ship’s 50-year projected service lifespan. The Stennis overhaul has been plagued by workforce and material delays in what is usually a four-year process. But the Stennis is not expected to emerge from the shipyard until as late as 2027. Under Navy plans, the USS Harry S. Truman would be the next carrier to have that kind of multiyear overhaul, which is only done at the Newport News facility. It would be followed by the Reagan and the last Nimitz carrier to be built, the USS George W. Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
