美媒:美舰锈蚀严重令人不安 已花费数十亿美元保养

美媒:美舰锈蚀严重令人不安 已花费数十亿美元保养

锈迹斑斑的美国海军阿利伯克级驱逐舰
[环球网军事报道]作为一个国家海上力量的可靠象征,军舰的外观被赋予额外的重要意义。但美国海军主力舰艇近年来多次被拍到锈迹斑斑的照片。美国《海军时报》7月1日称,这种情况展示了美海军令人不安的现状——尽管已经花费数十亿美元用于舰艇的防锈保养,但人员配备不足、舰艇超负荷运转,让这支“生锈的舰队”难以保证五角大楼规划的2030年“355艘战舰”规模。
报道称,美国海军海上系统司令部副司令托马斯·摩尔在内部会议上承认,美海军已花费数十亿美元来控制锈蚀问题。与会者拿出近年拍摄的多张美军舰艇照片,其中舰员穿着被沾染上明显锈迹的制服。当前美海军正规划让这些主力战舰超期服役,观察员质疑,它们是否已出现“年久失修”的糟糕情况。在高盐、高湿的海洋环境下,如果得不到及时处理,军舰上的锈迹会快速蔓延,继而影响舰船的寿命和正常使用。

报道称,五角大楼承认,作为美海军主力水面舰艇,“阿利·伯克”级驱逐舰的锈蚀问题一直很严重。早在2009年的海军船舶维修简报中就提到,2003年-2009年间,“阿利·伯克”级的“防锈蚀工作量增加了400%”。而当时“阿利·伯克”级的平均舰龄才14岁,如今10年过去了,这个问题更加严重。“‘阿利·伯克’级的维护至关重要,因为五角大楼计划让它的服役时间延长到40-45年,以保证在21世纪30年代美海军达到355艘船只所需的舰队规模”。2018年底,美海军“柯蒂斯·威尔伯”号驱逐舰访问香港时就被拍到整艘军舰出现大面积锈蚀、上层建筑油漆成片脱落的惨状。
摩尔对此回应称:“如果我们想让舰艇服役时间长达40-45年,防锈是一件大事。我们已经在船舶维护方面花费上百亿美元,其中几十亿和防锈有关。”他承认,尽管如此,但美海军舰艇的锈蚀情况仍然严重,主要原因与美国海军水面舰艇人手严重不足、舰艇长期超负荷运转,缺乏保养有关。这个问题得不到解决,出没世界各大洋的美军舰艇“浑身带锈”依然将是常态。 (武彦)

Rusty US Navy Alibek-class destroyer rusty US Navy Alibek-class destroyer

[Global Network Military Report] As a reliable symbol of a country's maritime power, the appearance of warships is given additional significance. However, the US Navy’s main ship has been photographed in recent years with rusty photos. The US Navy Times said on July 1 that this situation shows the disturbing status quo of the US Navy - although it has spent billions of dollars on the rust-proof maintenance of ships, it is understaffed and the ships are overloaded. It is difficult for this "rusty fleet" to guarantee the size of the "355 warships" planned by the Pentagon in 2030.

According to reports, Thomas Moore, deputy commander of the US Naval Sea Systems Command, admitted at an internal meeting that the US Navy has spent billions of dollars to control the problem of corrosion. Participants took photos of several US warships taken in recent years, in which the crew members were wearing uniforms that were contaminated with obvious rust. The US Navy is currently planning to allow these main battleships to expire in service, and observers question whether they have experienced a "defective" situation. In a high-salt, high-humidity marine environment, if it is not treated in time, the rust on the warship will spread rapidly, which in turn will affect the life and normal use of the ship.
The details of the Alibek-class destroyer hull can be seen in various rust marks. The details of the Alibek-class destroyer hull can be seen in various rust marks.

According to the report, the Pentagon acknowledged that as the main surface ship of the US Navy, the rust problem of the "Arleigh Burke" class destroyer has been very serious. As mentioned in the 2009 Navy Ship Maintenance Bulletin, between 2003 and 2009, the “Alibaba” level of “rust protection work increased by 400%”. At that time, the average age of the "Arleigh Burke" class was only 14 years old. Now that 10 years have passed, this problem is even more serious. “The maintenance of the ‘Arleigh Burke’ level is crucial because the Pentagon plans to extend its service life to 40-45 years to ensure that the US Navy will reach the fleet size of 355 vessels in the 1930s.” At the end of 2018, when the US Navy's destroyer "Cutis Wilbur" visited Hong Kong, it was photographed that the entire warship had a large area of rust and the superstructure paint fell off.

Moore responded by saying: "If we want ships to last for 40-45 years, rust prevention is a big deal. We have spent tens of billions of dollars on ship maintenance, of which billions are related to rust." He admits that despite this, the rust of the US Navy ships is still serious, mainly due to the serious shortage of the US Navy surface ships, the long-term overload operation of the ships, and lack of maintenance. This problem cannot be solved, and the US ships that are in the world's oceans will still be the norm. (武彦)

Joker CLOWN Dotard want NDP? But his monkeys cannot march. Will be a clown show.

World #1 is PLA, #2 is NK. Even Putin's Red Square is not very well-done, except they got true ace nuke and toys to show e.g. Armata Tanks T-14


Dotard is a CLOWN he admitted that USA's road in Washington DC can not even take the weight of the tanks. Why Red Square & Tian An Men can? Why Pyongyang roads are better than USA? Why fucking Bapok LHL CAQ's road in Pee Sai also better than Chow Ang Moh USA? Chiak-Sai & Die lah!
