1100,000 tons of aircraft carriers are rampant, but what should I do if I encounter a typhoon?

Aircraft carrier is a giant in the ocean, the ultimate weapon of the navy and a master in the history of naval warfare. Then someone has to ask, when the aircraft carrier is sailing at sea, will it be okay if it encounters a super typhoon?

In fact, no matter how big the aircraft carrier is, it will still show powerlessness in front of nature. Aircraft carriers have encountered typhoons in history. 1935, the fourth fleet of the Japanese navy encountered a super typhoon during the exercise. At that time, the two aircraft carriers "Fengxiang" and "Longxiang" in the formation were relatively old, and "Fengxiang" was the first real aircraft carrier in the world. Two aircraft carriers suffered heavy losses in bad sea conditions. The mast of the "Dragon Boat" was blown off, the bridge was leveled, and seawater flooded into the hangar, resulting in the scrapping of all carrier aircraft. Not only that, this typhoon also directly caused serious damage to many ships.

Some people will say that this is because the Japanese navy excessively pursued shipborne firepower during World War II, but neglected the hull strength. In fact, the US Navy also encountered such an accident during World War II. 1944, 1944 In February, 1944, the U.S. navy fleet made a huge mistake, and its interpretation of typhoon warning was wrong, which led to the whole fleet encountering a powerful typhoon cobra. All the ships were killed in this huge storm.

In this accident, even the capital of the American aircraft carrier was squashed, and the 146 carrier aircraft was scrapped. Coincidentally, in June of 1945, the Pacific War entered the final closing stage. As a result, the US Navy fleet suffered another strong typhoon in the waters near Okinawa, Japan, and lost more than 200 fighters.

Therefore, even if the aircraft carrier is strong, it will not be able to fight back in the face of ten waves. At present, the Ford-class aircraft carrier of the US military is the largest aircraft carrier, with a displacement of about 1 12000 tons, but even it dare not fight against typhoons. At present, the US military has a professional weather forecasting system to prevent ships from encountering strong typhoon weather.
