《國家利益》最近好像噩夢比較多,MSN一連給俺推好些篇,嚇得俺也要做噩夢了。就說好夢要分享,噩夢?也要趕緊傳下去哈。
美國海軍的潛艇噩夢不會輕易結束
摘要:由於預算限製和國防工業基礎緊張,美國海軍將把下一代 SSN(X) 攻擊型潛艇的建造時間推遲到 2040 年代。
-這一決定與削減弗吉尼亞級潛艇計劃同時做出,該計劃已經急需增加數量。
- Block V 弗吉尼亞級潛艇是一種高度先進和性能強大的潛艇,據稱足以應對當前和不久的將來的衝突,特別是在中國附近具有挑戰性的沿海地區。
-批評人士建議海軍應該集中精力加強和擴大現有的弗吉尼亞級艦隊,而不是投資昂貴且長期的 SSN(X) 項目,因為該項目被認為與迫在眉睫的威脅不太相關。
地主家也沒錢了,咋辦哩?
The U.S. Navy's Submarine Nightmare Won't Be Easy to End
Summary: The U.S. Navy is delaying the construction of its next-generation SSN(X) attack submarine to the 2040s, citing budget constraints and a strained defense industrial base.
-This decision comes alongside cuts to the Virginia-class submarine program, which is already in dire need of increased numbers.
-The Block V Virginia-class, a highly advanced and capable submarine, is argued to be sufficient for current and near-future conflicts, particularly in the challenging littoral zones near China.
-Critics suggest that the Navy should focus on enhancing and expanding its existing Virginia-class fleet rather than investing in the expensive and long-term SSN(X) program, which is seen as less relevant to imminent threats.

然後呢,就是弗吉尼亞級的噩夢剛剛開始,這可怎麽好?
海軍的弗吉尼亞級潛艇噩夢才剛剛開始
美國造船廠麵臨著嚴峻挑戰,因為他們難以滿足對新戰艦的需求,尤其是弗吉尼亞級潛艇,這對於保持海軍優勢至關重要,特別是在與中國等國家發生潛在衝突時。
-盡管獲得了大量政府資金,但這些造船廠仍因缺乏競爭、技術工人短缺和基礎設施不堪重負而受到阻礙,使重要軍用和民用船舶的生產變得複雜。從曆史上看,美國也麵臨過類似的挑戰,就像它在第一次世界大戰期間通過成立美國航運委員會來應對這些挑戰一樣,當代可能需要一個類似的機構來振興該國的造船能力。
-這種振興對於美國海軍保持其作戰準備和能力至關重要,特別是在印度太平洋地區,以應對中國日益增強的軍事進步。
The Navy's Virginia-Class Submarine Nightmare Is Just Getting Started
America's shipyards face a critical challenge as they struggle to meet the demands for new warships, notably the Virginia-class submarines, crucial for maintaining naval superiority, especially in potential conflicts with nations like China.
