WAC-Elasmosaurus Class
Nuclear propulsion plant requires fewer operators than current propulsion systems but provides more electrical power.
Smart sensors assist in further reducing Navy watch standing requirements and in automating damage control functions such as detecting fire and flooding situations
Advanced aircraft recovery system (AARS) reduces crew workload.
Passive stealth technology.
Electromagnetic aircraft launching system
Advanced armor system that improve combat survivability
Advanced weapons information management system automates the process of weapons inventory control, weapons movement, and weapons deployment from the magazine to the aircraft
Aircraft: 120
Passive Jet Blast Deflector
Island Designs: Improve flight deck access and reduce signature and electronic self-interference.
Signature Reduction: Curved flight deck edges, enclosed antenna farms, smaller islands and internal aircraft elevators add up to maximum stealth.
Semi-automated refueling to shorten airwing pit stops.
Crew: Enlisted 2,000
Aircrew: 1500
Speed: 35 knots
Aegis IV Radar (AN/SPY-1 Radar)
AN/SPS-49 Very Long-Range Air Surveillance Radar
AN/SPN-46 Precision Approach Landing System
MFR Multi-Function Radar
AN/WQN-1(V)6 Sonar Detecting-Ranging Set
AN/UQN-4A Sonar Sounding Set
Surveillance Towed-Array Sensor System (SURTASS)
AN/SYR-1 Communications Tracking Set (for controlling the smart warhead on the Tomahawk III stealth cruise missile)
Mk 4 Mod 2 Electromagnetic Underwater Log System (provides speed and distance traveled)
AN/WSN-7(V)1 Inertial Navigation System (determines location)
MK 34 Gun Weapon System (consists of:
# MK 45 5"/54 Caliber Gun Mount
# MK 46 MOD 0 Optical Sight System
# MK 160 Mod4 Gunfire Control System / Gun Computer System)
AN/KAS-1A Chemical Warfare Directional Detector
MK-53 Nulka Decoy Launching System (DLS) (provides protection against radar detecting anti ship missiles.
MK 36 SRBOC (Defends against anti-ship missiles which have avoided detection and penetrated to the terminal-defense area)
N/UPX-36(V)() Central IFF for Ship Defense System (identifies friendly versus hostile incoming aircraft)
Masker Anti torpedoe countermeasuer system
Long Term Mine Reconnaissance System [LMRS] ( mine reconnaissance system that employs UUVs that are capable of launch and recovery, it provides an early, rapid, accurate means of surveying potential mine fields in support of proposed amphibious operations, other battle group operations, and for safe ship transit around mined waters.)
Weapons:
MK 96
RUM-139 Anti sub missile
RIM-116 RAM Rolling Airframe Missile (shoots down anti ship cruise missiles)
NAD (missile that can be targeted at anything, except subs)
Reduced cost of operating and maintaining.
Designed to last 50 years.
price: 45 million dollars
