Well, this plane carries APY-9 brand-new phased-array radar which is
capable to guide new Standard SM-3 and SM-6 missiles. Therefore it can
revolutionarize maritime combat to some degree, in my view!

Japan has used E-2s I believe.

The French fly them from a carrier. Taiwan flies them in a land-based mode.
Israel used to fly them.

Japan has not used them from carriers and the next Frog carrier (to
match the E-2D timeframe) won't be able to.

Plans for a half dozen Nip carriers would bring Chinese pressure on
North Korea faster than you can say "Kim Impossible".

Amazing photo and profiling but isn't this all better done from a
satellite? The plane has a limited duration of being airborne.

If you have full carriers you can send Super Hornet tankers up to
refuel them.

In sci.military.naval hcobb twisted the electrons to say:

Seeing as how the French haven't decided if they're going to get a second
carrier yet[1] how can you be so sure that said carrier when/if it turns
up will not be compatiable with the E-2?

Even better. Zero carriers equals zero capability.

Except that they already have a carrier with E-2 capability, thus
indicating greater than zero capability ...

That article predates mine, he may have ditched the idea of an
Anglo-French carrier project (wise idea for both sides IMHO) back in June
2008 but he has not, of May 2009, decided whether there will be a 2nd
carrier ... Do try and keep up!
