這篇指出PLA為了解決攻台首要敵手的美軍航母打擊群而致力發展各種智慧型無人機具武器並預期在十年內完成克制目標:
"In addressing the military challenges of use of force against Taiwan, the PLA has always paid most attention to disabling U.S. CSGs. Since China’s most important military objective is early success in a military campaign against Taiwan − and its most important targets in this campaign would be U.S. CSGs − this mission set could well be the most likely to produce strategic surprise with regard to the development of new weapons and associated tactics from the PLA. Advancements in acoustic communications, navigation, and autonomy are accelerating, with new capabilities coming online all the time."
美國對航母執行衝擊測試玩真的~那個水下爆炸畫面有厲害到。
"美國媒體稱炸藥達4萬磅(約18噸),而美國海軍拍攝的畫面顯示,引爆後海水噴湧出巨大水花。美國地質調查所(US Geological Survey)測得威力相當於規模3.9地震。"
福特號接受衝擊測試的影片:
缺貨潮終於淹到軍方啦?
"據《美國海軍研究協會新聞》(USNI News)報導,美國海軍為了確保福特級航艦首艦「福特號」在明年的部署有足夠的部件支援,將先拆下目前正在進行艤裝的二號艦「甘迺迪號」身上的零件支援,美國海軍表示拆下的都是船上的小零件,包含電梯螢幕、開關、小型泵等,而不是大型系統,不會影響「甘迺迪號」在2024年交付的日程安排。"
明年應該不會有疫情干擾供應鏈這問題了:
“In accordance with the Navy’s Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual, cannibalizations are being used as part of the process to augment readiness of CVN 78, and are only initiated after non-availability of materials has been established in the supply system or verification that alternate sources are not available,”
光看相關行業的牢騷文就知道到明年都難見改善啊....😩
"聯合國貿易和發展會議(United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, UNCTAD)於11月18日公開《2021年海運回顧》報告。
報告指出,2020年下半年開始,貨櫃運輸費用大幅飆升。除貨櫃外,海運行業的勞動力也開始短缺,世界許多港口都陷入混亂,延誤運輸時間。
另外,如果貨櫃運輸費用居高不下,根據估計,截至2023年全球進口價格將上漲10.6%,導致消費者物價指數上漲1.5%,這可能對全球經濟復甦造成負面影響。估計結果顯示,特別是那些屬於發展中國家、嚴重依賴海運進口的島國受到的衝擊最大,進口價格的上漲幅度達到24.2%。"
