On July 21, 1946, the McDonnell FH Phantom made history by completing its first jet landing aboard the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, following four successful takeoffs and landings near Norfolk, Virginia. At that time, the Franklin D. Roosevelt was the largest aircraft carrier in the U.S. Navy, allowing the Phantom to take off without catapult assistance. This milestone marked the beginning of the jet age for U.S. Naval Aviation, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and paving the way for future carrier-based jet operations. #military #defense #defence #aerospace #aviation #aircraft #aircrafts #airplane #airplanes #aviationlovers #militaryaviation #militaryaircraft #fighterjet #engineering #technology #militarytechnology #defensetechnology #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #airforce #pilots #ship #ships #naval #marines #maritime #vessel

The U.S. Navy's Block V Virginia-Class: A Submarine Russia or China Can't Match The Block V Virginia-class submarines represent a significant upgrade over their predecessors, designed to bridge the missile gap between the US and China. Being constructed in Groton, Connecticut, these fast-attack submarines are a more cost-effective solution than the Seawolf-class, with each unit costing about $1.8 billion. The introduction of the Virginia Payload Module.........

Type 95 Depth Charge: Japan's WWII Anti-Submarine Weapon The Type 95 depth charge was a key anti-submarine weapon used by the Imperial Japanese Navy during World War II. Developed in the mid-1930s, it featured a cylindrical design, measuring about 600 mm in length and 350 mm in diameter, and weighed approximately 150 kg, with 100 kg of TNT or a similar explosive. Operation It operated using a hydrostatic pressure principle, where a depth-setting mechanism allowed for precise detonation depths. As the charge sank, increasing water pressure triggered a diaphragm, which set off the explosive at the predetermined depth. Deployment The Type 95 could be deployed from ships, aircraft, and coastal installations. Ships used racks and launchers to deploy multiple charges, creating patterns to maximize damage to enemy submarines. Effectiveness and Limitations While effective, the Type 95's success depended on accurate depth settings and submarine detection. Advances in submarine technology, like stronger hulls and deeper diving, gradually reduced its effectiveness, leading to ongoing improvements in anti-submarine weaponry. Legacy The Type 95 depth charge exemplifies wartime innovation and the tactical focus on anti-submarine measures by the Imperial Japanese Navy, marking an important phase in the evolution of Japan naval warfare. #japan #history #ww2 #eod #maritime #EOKHUB

Who made the Seawolf? The Seawolf-class submarines were developed and built by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation (now Huntington Ingalls Industries) for the United States Navy. They were designed to be highly advanced and capable attack submarines, intended to replace the aging Los Angeles-class submarines. The lead ship of the class, USS Seawolf (SSN-21), was commissioned in 1997. What is the strongest submarine? Determining the "strongest" submarine can be subjective and depends on various factors such as technology, capabilities, armaments, and operational effectiveness. However, among the submarines known for their advanced capabilities and formidable features are the Seawolf-class submarines of the United States Navy. These submarines were designed during the Cold War era to be exceptionally fast, quiet, and heavily armed, with advanced sonar systems and torpedoes. Another notable mention is the Russian Akula-class submarines, known for their large size, sophisticated design, and potent armaments. They are considered some of the most capable submarines in the Russian Navy's fleet. Overall, the strength of a submarine is determined by its overall design, technology, and how effectively it can fulfill its intended mission requirements.

USS Delaware Pioneers UUV Deployment The Virginia-class Block III fast-attack submarine, USS Delaware (SSN-791), continues to set new benchmarks in naval warfare technology. Commissioned in April 2022 under unique circumstances, #SSN-791 was the first U.S. Naval warship to be commissioned while submerged due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, #USS Delaware will deploy a torpedo-tube launch-and-recovery (TTL&R) uncrewed underwater vehicle (#UUV) in the European theater, marking the first operational use of this capability. This milestone will see the REMUS 600, known as the "Yellow Moray," enhance mission capabilities, including the defense of critical undersea infrastructure. The REMUS 600, capable of semi-autonomous operation and deep-sea missions, signifies a leap in seabed warfare. With the ability to defend and potentially counter threats to #undersea cables and pipelines, this technology is set to redefine the #strategic landscape of underwater operations. Kudos to the innovative minds and skilled hands driving this mission forward. The silent service is making waves—literally and figuratively! #NavyInnovation #UnderwaterWarfare #USSDelaware #DefenseTech #SeabedWarfare #UUV #MilitaryInnovation https://lnkd.in/d9BuxChD

Sweden is set to launch two new A26 attack submarines, Blekinge and Skåne, in 2027 and 2028. These 66-meter-long diesel-electric subs will patrol NATO's eastern reaches under the Baltic Sea. This move marks a significant step towards the establishment of a dominium maris baltici ("Baltic Sea dominion") - a goal we've had since the 17th century. Swedish naval successes in the past, such as the capture of Riga in 1621 and the Swedish navy landing in Pomerania in 1630, have been remembered in German and Polish children's playbooks. But now, we are finally securing with our combined forces - the prosperity, freedom and economic growth at the Baltic Sea. As the commercial exploitation of the seabed has increased, there is now more critical underwater infrastructure to be protected in the Baltic Sea. Other NATO countries are also investing in new submarines. Norway has ordered four from Germany's ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, while the Netherlands has received bids from TKMS, Saab Kockums, and France's Naval Group for four submarines. Denmark is also considering reversing its move to dispose of its fleet. Encouraged by this wave of "sub-investments", would it be time to pay more attention to enhance the European defense industry alliances, building up our own capabilities, instead of creating mutual competition and thereby letting competitors from across the Atlantic and some far-away exotic countries into our critical internal defense markets? As the King Gustav II Adolf's motto reminds us: "With God and victorious arms". #saab #europeandefense #submarines #thyssenkrupp #tkms #navalgroup #sweden #nato (Source: Saab)

The era of large surface warships, particularly aircraft carriers, as primary tools of naval power projection is facing significant challenges due to the rise of anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities, particularly from China. https://lnkd.in/er7XHaRG

Recently completed by Squadron Nostalgia: The 18-inch model of the SC-1311 and SC-497 Class Submarine Chaser, a specialized naval vessel designed for anti-submarine warfare during World War II. The SC-497 Class was based on a wooden-hulled design, which was chosen for its ease of construction and availability of materials during wartime. They were relatively small vessels, typically around 110 feet in length. SC-497 Class submarine chasers were powered by diesel engines, which provided them with a maximum speed of around 15 knots. This speed, combined with their relatively small size, allowed them to maneuver quickly and effectively in the often challenging conditions of the open ocean. After World War II, some SC-497 Class submarine chasers were decommissioned and sold off or scrapped, while others were transferred to allied navies or repurposed for civilian use. Today, a few examples of these vessels may still exist as museum ships or private yachts, serving as reminders of their essential role in naval warfare during World War II. 🔻🔻🔻 Relive your initial flight, deployment, ship, submarine, or unit by commemorating it with an exquisite model, plaque, or patch! 💯 Discover more on our webpage by clicking the link below! www.squadronnostalgia.com✅ #squadronnostalgia #aviation #battleship #collectible #handmade #miniature #naval #scalemodel #ship #shipmodel #wwii
