Thread 64388935

Is it time for the US Navy to think about cope cage armor? Maybe nets to keep FPV drones out of an aircraft carriers hanger bay.

Implessive

hmmmm

Reminder that a Russian ship would have been sunk by less.

Aw shit, here we go again...

A cumulative charge can pierce this lid. What happens if one of the VLS cells explodes?

The VLS compartments are not isolated from each other at this level.

>>64388956
Magazine explosion that destroys the ship. The solution to this is the Mark 57 PVLS, but the ship equipped with it was canceled because journalists lied about it being bad and expensive, and Congress and /k/ blindly believe whatever opinions they read on twz.

They should just put the VLS on a barge and tow it.

But the cells are separate, and each comes with a fire suppression system. Unlikely to sympathetically chain one after another.

>>64389068
That venting and fire suppression is designed to deal with the rocket motors, not with a literal bomb going off inside the ship.

West taiwan must be on high schilling alert since xinnie the pooh had a stroke.

Unmanned water vehicles mean that torpedo nets might be viable again, at least for port and littoral operations.

>>64389074
The damage control chain accounts for most scenarios.

>>64388935 (OP)
That hole is big enough for a drone to enter.

hey there /chud/ faggot

>since xinnie the pooh had a stroke.
Hah, that a fact? They must be pissing their pants if that's the case.

The US Navy has zero credibility since the LCS boondoggle, the continuing professionalism problems in the Navy Seals, and their meandering mission of satisfying corporate lobbies and mission bloat

Its against doctrine to fly FPVs into the hanger deck.

So what is the actual image of?

Sounds like a bad day.

drone?

>>64389229
I remember seeing some seethe by some Twitter tard about a USN warship being named after a Confederate victory.

>>64389229
Did absolutely nobody proof read that damn article? Professional standards just don't exist anymore.

>>64388956
Most of the time? Nothing. Rarely? The warhead or fuel goes up, causing the lid to be pushed up and the detonation being vented.

>>64388976
Well, except for the launch canisters themselves, which provide their own compartmentalisation as they are lowered into the cells.

>>64388956
Ship kaput.
Mk-57 Vertical Launching System was designed to prevent sympathetic detonations of missiles. They are located in one row and warheads are separated by blast bulkheads inbuilt into Mk-57 (plus incentive munitions redesigns of missiles) so detonation of missiles warheads is localized in one cell.
But others ships its over.
