This isn't electronic warfare, but on the subject of a "big wave", take a look at what might cause Rogue Waves. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_wave
In any event, I think the best thing to say is that if one wants to learn about EW, go to the library and read up on it. I don't think I've done, actively, EW for close to a quarter of a century, so anything I know that they would cut my tongue out for saying has probably long since passed. But I still hear and read things here and there, probably not secret, but with my background, I could probably fill in the gaps that makes it the kind of stuff others wished the world did not know.
So when people get talking about this stuff on an open Net, I'd like to get into the talk, I find this stuff fascinating about what might be done with it. But then I remember that maybe it is not such a great idea to get into the talk and I just shake my head at what is being said. Not because it is being said, mind you, but because I can't add to it.
But let's put it this way. Remember the movie Wargames? In the small scene after the General sends up fighters over Alaska to investigate Soviet air contacts? His Aide comes in with something like, "Intelligence reports that the Soviets can generate false radar images 200 miles from the source."
And the General says, "Christ! Now they have us chasing ghosts."
Like producing holograms with intersecting laser beams, I can see how doing things like that in this day and age might be possible.Last edited by Tamara; 08 Nov 13,, 00:12.

Five US CVN's so far have been fitted with anti torpedo torpedoes.

This Congressman Wants to Kill the Ford Class Aircraft Carrier
(23 min, 17 sec)
Representative Ken Calvert (R) (CA-41) recently told an audience at the American Enterprise Institute that a Ford Class aircraft carrier couldn't survive an attack from a Chinese hypersonic missile and that the Pentagon should consider canceling future construction as a result.
At the same time, the Congressional Research Service has just released a comprehensive review of the Ford Class program that's somewhat damning when considering the time and money it takes to build these ships.
So are aircraft carriers doomed to go the way of the battleship?

Might be time to look at arsenal ships again and possibly more modified Ohios fitted out with the VLS mod. My main concern would be the possibility of overwhelming a carriers group's defenses enough to just damage the carrier, sinking it is not required. This isn't WW2, the US cannot afford to have even two or three of it's 11 carriers dry docked for repairs for a few months in the middle of a shooting war because there sure as hell wont be multiple new hulls sliding down the slipways every few months to replace them. Currently it takes what? 5 years or more to build one new carrier. The war would be over before even one new boat got a champagne bottle smashed on its bows.Last edited by Monash; 30 Jan 25,, 09:51.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.
