Aircraft Carriers - CV, CVN

Description: Aircraft carriers provide a wide range of possible
response for the National Command Authority.

The Carrier Mission:

To provide a credible, sustainable, independent forward presence and
conventional deterrence in peacetime, To operate as the cornerstone of
joint/allied maritime expeditionary forces in times of crisis, and To
operate and support aircraft attacks on enemies, protect friendly
forces and engage in sustained independent operations in war.

Features: The aircraft carrier continues to be the centerpiece of the
forces necessary for forward presence. Whenever there has been a
crisis, the first question has been: "Where are the carriers?"
Carriers support and operate aircraft that engage in attacks on
airborne, afloat, and ashore targets that threaten free use of the
sea; and engage in sustained operations in support of other forces.

Aircraft carriers are deployed worldwide in support of U.S. interests
and commitments. They can respond to global crises in ways ranging
from peacetime presence to full-scale war. Together with their
on-board air wings, the carriers have vital roles across the full
spectrum of conflict.

The Nimitz-class carriers, eight operational and two under
construction, are the largest warships in the world. USS Nimitz (CVN
68) was the first to undergo its initial refueling during a 33-month
Refueling Complex Overhaul at Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport
News, Va., in 1998. The next generation of carrier, CVN 21, the hull
number will be CVN 78, is programmed to start construction in 2007 and
is slated to be placed in commission in 2014 to replace USS Enterprise
(CVN 65 which will be over its 50-year mark. CVN 79 is programmed to
begin construction in 2012 and to be placed in commission in 2018,
replacing USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) in her 50th year.

Complete installation instructions are provided.
