Commander of US navy orders worldwide 'operational pause' as analysts suspect crew fatigue may be factor in naval collision

The obvious conclusion is that these US navy ships are having all their electronics disabled, so they are just sitting ducks, and there is nothing they can do about it. Washington is being sent a message to stay out of China's backyard, and the US military doesn't want to lose face by admitting it.

The Chinese have stealth technology that [the US doesn't understand], and the Russians have electronics/radar jamming equipment that can [completely disable US warships.]

Yep. Russia and China have both leapfrogged us because our engineering schools are now leftist pity party political operations and no longer produce the best engineers.

Our schools have been destroyed by the half baked politics of losers who cant make it in the real world.

The US is done-zo. We can no longer project power over anyone who isn't relying on 60's era tech. And we did it to ourselves.

This a million fucking times

What is the last technology that they Chinese had that we didn't understand at the time? Gun powder?

I'd bet a dollar that no country has war-ready technology that we don't know about and haven't prepared for.

ICYBM

You just lost a dollar. That is the most blindly patriotic ignorant shit I have ever heard.

Man where is this guy when I want to make a quick buck

Lmao. China still wouldn't do anything in a war. They have ONE aircraft carrier.

Send navy, destroy single carrier, blockade, bombard China, GG

I had a friend once demonstrate a proof of concept for an emp bomb. It really is the easiest shit to make and scale up. These big digital battleships are a huge liability.

Why don't they use emp shielding? Too heavy?

Le_Squish

From what I've heard, you can't effectively shield anything larger than a car on the fly.

ICYBM

Problem is everything is integrated and you cant shield it all. They were designed to be shielded from secondary EMP from Nuclear weapons, not from the specialized EMP generators which have been developed by Chinese Engineers who never missed a class because of a BLM Barricade.

They're already wrapped in a half-inch of steel. Sure they aren't perfect Faraday cages, but it'd take one hell of an EMP to fuck up their systems (that are designed to be more resistant to such than consumer electronics). Maybe some rooms/areas are Faraday caged too?

Reggie000

It seems a bit much to include something like that in the design. Seeing as EMP hasn't really used as a weapon ever.

Are you shitposting or delusional?

ScalarWhaler

Why not both?
