@hypohystericalhistory: Replying to @Aaron Horwold How does modern naval combat work? #History #war #battle #military #navy

Idk.157 :

I don’t think people realize how intense the Red Sea crisis actually was for the USN, I think something like 900 munitions were fired at U.S ships in over 150 attacks over the course of a year and a half. And like Timmeh said these were fairly modern most of which supplied by Iran. It was absolutely the most intense naval combat we’ve seen since the Falkland’s war and hugely beneficial to the USN in planning for a conflict with the PLAN.

Bundy2121 :

Cheap drones will make all this new tech obsolete very soon

arthuriozandonus :

No boarding and swordfighting :(

Nick :

The way modern naval warfare works is the US financially starves all our enemies until they have no effective defense. So now we only attack extreamly pore countries that can't fight back.

Cunstomer Service Manager :

Im not sure why, but I’m gonna go talk to my missus about this

GENERAL GOODBYE :

We could end world hunger, houseing for all, free education, or we can have weapons

Watskins37 :

Just imagine if we could put all this R&D and money into something positive instead of this

nationalise_spoons :

so you're saying it's sort of a "shields down to 70% captain" situation?

Andy Kuhn :

What about ROI? Exercet is like $2.5m and a single interceptor $25-28m. The enemy can afford 10x fires on target for each interceptor. What is the tactical approach to avoiding this math?

LoLz4u&me :

He said 'penetrate' a bunch of times.

Cou🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 :

What will Australia’s nuclear submarines be able to do any what will their armament be?

mikeaudo :

I'm no military expert, but I feel like we're on the cusp of a sea change (no pun intended) in naval doctrine, similar to how carriers became the flag ships during/after WWII. I could see an absolute SHITLOAD of cheap drones, and dedicated ships for carrying them along with others specialized for electronic warfare being the "next big thing". Hopefully we don't see a large scale peer to peer level conflict that forces us to find out.

Pie.man :

can modern active defence systems defend against WW2 Battleship rounds?

Whit :

Realistically, in modern naval warfare between first-world powers (China, Russia etc) a small tactical nuke would be deployed and immediately wipe out opposing carrier groups, including their naval dockyards etc. That or kamikaze drone swarms.

DanZNolesFan :

except we've never had a single one of these engagements ever ever

itsathingsomeonesaid :

America has PDCs and they are the only ones that do.

Mel :

how does drone warfare change this?

Bruce Van Deventer :

There hasn’t been a single modern naval combat. We don’t know.

Scotty :

thanks man, that was really interesting!!

Sammy :

Here for the information, stayed for the camera quality 🥰

OldIronsides1798 :

The falkends war is also a good example of how modern naval combat would work. Although it isn’t a perfect comparison.

Toven :

all battles are and always have been decided the same way. "Attrition" , the one who runs out of ships, planes, tanks and soldiers first loses almost always loses the battle. The side who decides they can no longer except anymore loses whether it be financial loses or in man power or political loss is the side that usually surrenders. wars are decided by losses, not who won the most battles but who can except more losses and continue to fight.

Johnny99 :

With airplanes.

what are your qualifications here?
