The proposed nuke carrier would be in the same size range as the British conventional powered QE II Class now being built. Only France and the US currently have nuke carriers.
A question for those in the know: is the tilted flight deck an evolutionary improvement for launching planes? If yes, why doesn’t our Navy employ it?
Do you need a really big drydock to weigh them?
The Indians are building nuke powered SSBNs so I guess the know now learned from that can be used in a nuke carrier.
The Indian nuclear carrier will cost $8,995, take three months to build and will have missile tubes capable of launching satellites into orbit around Mars on an as-needed basis.
Making a operational, compact and stable power plant for a ship is a similarly difficult undertaking.
They would do well to focus on one thing at a time. It's a 30 year program.
Ping.
“India Weighing Nuclear Powered Carrier”... wow, that must be a VERY BIG scale.
