Aliens: What the hell is THAT! Humans: Oh, that's a Megacarrier. Aliens: But WHY? Humans: Well, we needed something in between a Supercarrier and an Ultracarrier. Aliens: Wait, what's an Ultracarrier? Humans: Well... that's no moon.
Actually, it took the aliens 80 years and nearly bankrupted them to build to the fleet size they claimed they had when they first met the humans. Who had already built a fleet larger then that.
Yeah, Humanity has never exactly been big on "reasonable threat response." To quote a chubby electron mover, "If it is a fair fight, you are doing it wrong"
I would have loved the first story ending with: "That, Empress, is a human supercarrier, it holds 200 of what the humans classify as Cairo Class Light Assault Vessel."
1st story: Empress, that ship that we see is ALMOST on par with our Super Carriers, I believe the humans call that part of their fleet the "Coast Guard" .. intel says that they are not really intended for battle, but rather merely just for taking care of the occasional pirates or smugglers
I think there was a story where the aliens attacked Earth and thought the Coast Guard was the Navy until the Navy and the Marines showed up in their home system
Lol imagine the pirates that humans deal with requiring that kind of firepower probably would make her rethink going anywhere near those systems. Could her fleets take the pirates? maybe but probably isn't worth it.
@@zharpain No, the fleet isn't allowed in Sol without gravity tugs to realign our orbits. Our supercariers are in a neighboring solar system that we converted into a trinary.
Lying to Humans just makes a benchmark for us to cross. Its when we misconstrue something (IE MIG-25) that we panic and react with something incredibly deadly (IE F-15).
Well...there is a bit of logic to that. If you overestimate your foes, you limit their ability to surprise you. The tricky part is to not overestimate so badly you create a non-existent boogeyman, nor underestimate them so badly they can catch you unawares (which is a common flaw among the Xenos, for some reason) because you grew overconfident and stupid.
Even if you know they're lying, it's best to assume they're not, just in case. Just like how the U.S. has been dealing with the U.S.S.R and China for decades.
-eyes my Battleships happily floating over Centauri system with a planet that may or may not be named Reach- Yes... well big sticks do help with keeping the noisy neighbors out when their vassals rebel.
Are you kidding even if the military doesn’t build it you can be sure someone else will. It will be done independent family owned ship that their 20y old son has just inherited let’s be honest it’s what we do with cars all the time.
Doubtful, we live on a paradise. Unless they are made of gasses or mercury, our temperatures are nothing to fear. We are well protected from radiation. I think our gravity is lower than many. And ultimately our weather is routine, predictable.
That first ship classified as a super carrier is a mere support, or escort vessel for their actual super carriers. Merely a «light assault craft». This one carries a few 100's of the former. Empress : Let see how we can make peaceful contact with the humans and hope that we can become allies.
Well... you gotta put the military mindset on it. We're in space... the only limitation we have is how much weight we can still swing at speed. From there it's standard "hold my beer" mentality of how many guns can you put on a ship and still maintain maneuverability to specifications requested.
@@artyd42 No there also another huge limitation at how big something can be how much pressure it can exert or the like how a dyson sphere is not possible for the fact that at that size any material we know of will exert so much tension on itself it will just destroy itself
I asked an AI to write a comment for this channel. Minimal direction was given, (praise narration and story choice) this is what it came up with: I love Agro Squirrel's videos! He has such a great voice and he always picks the most interesting stories to narrate. He makes me laugh, cry and think with his amazing storytelling skills. He is the best narrator on UA-cam, hands down!
The second story is about the different military mentalities that we can see right now in our world. One, where you overestimate your army and make it seem much stronger than it is to deter your enemies from making any moves. And one where you underestimate your army, where you are hiding your strength to lure your enemies into false sense of security. Both have their merit depending on your actual goals. Tragedy is when you lose sight of real state of your own army and forget which of those two you are actualy going for.
"Therein lies the problem, General. They have 218... and they class these as Battle Cruisers. That... that shadow blotting out their star, is their Super Carrier."
@@Speed001 Yup. Something along the line of "Shut the fuck up You donkey. Are Your trying to get us all killed? That is not more than an escort ship. That.... that is a Super Carrier."
That is not a Supercarrier. THIS is a Supercarrier! Humans will match any threat - real or not. For the Algorithm! May it allways favor the Skverrel! For the Authors! May they write MOAR! For the Narrator! May he reach 100 k subs! For the Beard! May it grow in peace!

Found your channel back in 2021. When i was out of work do to an injury. Couldn't play video games or much of anything else. Was so bored i would hope you had dropped something that day or just listen to an old one. Back when i didnt know what you looked like. For the algorithm!
The second story is pretty much what happened between the Soviet Union and the US in the early 70's. The USSR introduced the Mig-25 "Foxbat" as an interceptor. It set many 'time-to-altitude' and speed records for fighter aircraft. Obviously, the Soviets propagandized the hell out of it. The US had nothing that could touch it. So, we came up with the F-15 Eagle. Then, we got ahold of a Foxbat. Turns out it was not a good fighter, just a good interceptor of bombers. It was heavy, not very agile, and very short ranged. The radar used vacuum tube technology! I wonder if the author knew of this.
We had vacuum tubes in our aircraft for some time. ICs which could directly handle microwave signal processing are a relatively recent thing and solid state microwave amplifiers and their limitations until more recent process innovations. While true the Russians hyped up the MiG 25, it's also true that some design limitations were common to the era. Of course, Russian philosophy was also a bit different. While the MiG-25 scared the hell out of us, the F-5/20 scared the bejeesus out of the Russians and led to the MiG-29. For the Russians, the F-15 was a glorified F-4. The F-5, on the other hand, could be present everywhere, produced by the thousand, and was a nippy little thing to strap missiles and bombs to as needed.
@@Aim54Delta True. I think the BUFF had vac tube backups for navigation and radios, and might still. It just seems like it's a bit backward for a plane designed to intercept bombers to not have the best radar to lock missiles with. I mean, if you can't shoot down an enemy bomber before it delivers its payload, you won't have a home to go back to, especially if they're nukes.
@@zuzax1656 Vacuum tube technology is still perfectly capable. There are some analog processing circuits which need the use of complex vacuum tubes. The low voltages and use of switching power supplies of today's digital systems are a huge hurdle for mixed signal processing. Vacuum tubes could produce more sensitive radars - arguably are still superior to modern methods. Things like a magnetron are still one of the most efficient ways of producing microwaves for radar signals. There are disadvantages as the frequency is fixed, which is why AESA arbitrary frequency antennas are used - but the magnetron is still perfectly valid. As is a reflex klystron tube - one of the few ways to achieve voltage multiplication at RF and microwave frequencies. The newer technology is not always "better" than old technology. All of design/engineering is a compromise of goals. The F-4 ran on vacuum tubes. The B-52's navigation system ran on vacuum tubes and ferrite core memory. The F-117 used a miniaturized version. Part of the system was a way to zero out progressive error by referencing fixed markers visible from the air. These systems were very capable and more accurate than today's GPS. I imagine the Russians had similar systems - though whether or not the production quality was up to the standard of the design is a question of how hard Atlas was shrugging. It was a 1950s radar which tracked and shot down an F-117 over Yugoslavia in the late 90s. While, in theory, the most modern digital systems could achieve a similar feat automatically regardless of operator skill - a modern AESA radar is an enormous investment in design and production resources and has over 70 years of innovation more than the 1950s radar. Do you need the latest and greatest to be effective in your role? Though, true, Russia's semiconductor industry lagged significantly behind the west and has only recently begun to make strides toward catching up.
Story 1: Space Texans, everything is bigger. Also, there's no such thing as overkill, just 'open fire' and 'reload'. Story 2: Don't bet everything on a bluff, the opponent may just call...
I have now heard the first story from 3 different people or AI's (Not sure on that) But you are still by far the best reader as you put effort and acting into your readings. Thank you for the readings
Carriers are nice and all as the backbone of a fleet, but battleships are making a possible comeback because it is more cost effective to yeet warheads on foreheads than expensive missiles. They also can't be hacked in route. They can also be armed with Rods fro God, Casaba Howitzers, ship-sized Macron shotguns, then your choice of FAE or Nuclear options.
For the super carrier, I think I would have written that the Humans didn’t call the Cairo a super carrier but just a carrier. Their super carriers carried 150 Cairo class ships.
I think I've seen recommendations for about half a dozen videos where an AI voice reads that exact same supercarrier story. The content farmers seem to have found a new niche.
Not sure where else to post it, If you can get the rights to it i think you should narrate "The Gentle Vultures" by Isaac Asimov. Best HFY ever if you ask me.
Aliens: so what we call Super Carriers, Humans call "Light Assault Craft" and what they call Super Carriers... is nothing less than an Extinction-Level event made manifest.
This is a truth most dictators don’t understand. First time I heard of it was the book’Alas, Babylon’ from the ‘50s. Actual example was the Iraqi war I think it was possible that Sadam actually believed he had weapons of mass destruction, his downfall was that the US believed that lie and acted accordingly. We believed the Soviet Union’s stories of their capabilities and we got the F-22. We believed China’s claims about their capabilities against our big deck carriers so now we have the ‘Lightening’ carriers with F-35s on board. A deterrent too well hidden deters nothing but a believable lie can lead you enemies to develop weapons and strategies that you CANNOT deal with. They have been warned but they don’t seem to understand. Sad.
Story 1: Humans don't know of the term "small". Be afraid. Story 2: As the old human saying goes, "put your money where your mouth is". Be VERY afraid of bluffing to humans.
Greeting from the UEF Deterrence flagship of the 3rd fleet. Massing 780 peta-tons and carrying 16 assault wings of 220 attack craft each. The entire carrier group masses more than a medium sized moon. :) (The military industrial complex just LOVES an external threat.)
Our supercarriers are humanity's light assault craft should be enough for any species to understand their folly. In those 80 years, the humans continued to build and refine their fleets as well. Wonder what the entirety looks like now.
That second story brings to mind the historical rivalry between the USSR and USA. When the Soviets began to brag about their "Foxbat" interceptor, the Americans believed them and designed and built the F15 Eagle to counter it. When the Soviets realized the the Americans built the plane that they were falsely claiming to have they forbade Foxbat pilots from engaging Eagles in battle.
The Syrian's lost a couple Foxbat E's over the years to Israeli Eagles, but most of the time the Syrian Foxbats did a high speed burn to get out of Dodge.

Our supercarriers are humanity's light assault craft should be enough for any species to understand their folly.
In those 80 years, the humans continued to build and refine their fleets as well. Wonder what the entirety looks like now.
Couple years later:
Empress: so now Ular how many Supercarriers do the humans have
Ular: forty eig-
Empress: by the gods THEY HAVE 48 OF THESE
His mistake was starting with the human equivalent of a fighter carried by the super carrier.
Correction comparing not starting
That second story brings to mind the historical rivalry between the USSR and USA. When the Soviets began to brag about their "Foxbat" interceptor, the Americans believed them and designed and built the F15 Eagle to counter it. When the Soviets realized the the Americans built the plane that they were falsely claiming to have they forbade Foxbat pilots from engaging Eagles in battle.
The Syrian's lost a couple Foxbat E's over the years to Israeli Eagles, but most of the time the Syrian Foxbats did a high speed burn to get out of Dodge.
HFY!!! FTW!

"... Your frigate is a carrier?"
"What do your people call a super carrier?"
points to a spot without visible stars "That."
