About Hidden Unities
My continuing education via research, discussion and brainstorming as I begin my last year in the Navy and prepare to be a university student in 2008.
My 2007 emphasis is on:
- Africa
- Indian Ocean culture, history and trade patterns
- Mexican history
- The implications and opportunities of Christianity’s ascendance in the “Global South”
- Atlantic history
- Networks
Discussions of public diplomacy, ongoing conflicts, military issues and strategic opportunities based on common ideas, values and concerns will also be oft visited topics.
One not-so-quick question I’m curious about and hope you can answer (or tell me how to find the answer. How many countries in the world (besides the US) have the logistic and other expertise needed to operate an American-style Carrier group? I know Russia, France and the UK have or have had Aircraft Carriers in recent decades, I don’t know who else. Thank you for any light you can shed on the subject.
No problem. India already operates a carrier group. The Japanese and South Koreans are working on carrier-esque projects that would be different from the American style but still pass muster as credible carrier assets. China as well. That is it as far as I know.
That isn’t true entirely accurate. Neither India nor South Korea have modern carrier groups- India has a single carrier from a 50 year old UK navy castoff. The UK has two and a smaller task force group. In fact none of the Third World has a carrier group and the Russians have left what remains of their very limited carrier capabilities (the Russians claimed that carrier groups were by design imperialistic) in port with little maintenance. The Japanese have no carrier groups.
Of course missile technology is changing the odds but this is another area where the powers- specifically the US completely dominate things. Part of the reason things stay this way is that it would be considered one of the most hostile and provocative acts a nation could make vis a vis the US to build modern fully equipped carrier groups. It is on par with ICBM’s, and nuclear powered ballistic subs. Besides the mistake of China (Gen. MacArthur should be canonized) and the unavoidable situation in Russia America has been good about maintaining complete dominance and the poor nations have been good about staying backwards and uncompetitive.
