The 1,-ton aircraft carrier is rampant, but what happens when it encounters a typhoon?

The 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, if it encounters a super typhoon, will the aircraft carrier be fine?

In fact, even though the aircraft carrier is so big, it will still show powerlessness when facing nature. In history, aircraft carriers encountered typhoons. In 1935, the Japanese Navy's Fourth Fleet 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. The two aircraft carriers suffered heavy losses in the harsh sea conditions. The mast of the "Dragon Boat" was blown off, the bridge was flattened, and seawater was poured 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 shipboard firepower during World War II, but neglected the hull strength. In fact, the US navy also encountered such an accident during World War II. In December 1944, the US navy fleet made a huge mistake, and its interpretation of typhoon warning was wrong, which led to the whole fleet encountering a powerful "snake-eyed" typhoon. In the huge storm, all ships were like small leaves. This accident was direct.

In this accident, even the bow of the US aircraft carrier was flattened, and 146 carrier aircraft were scrapped. Coincidentally, in June 1945, the Pacific War entered the final closing stage. As a result, the US Navy's fleet suffered another strong typhoon in the waters near Okinawa, Japan, and lost more than 2 fighters.

Therefore, even if the aircraft carrier is strong, it has no power to fight back in the face of ten-story waves. At present, the Ford-class aircraft carrier of the US military is the largest aircraft carrier, with a displacement of about 112, tons, but even it does not dare to fight against typhoons. At present, the US military has a professional weather forecasting system, which can prevent ships from encountering strong typhoons.
