CVN (Nuclear Aircraft Carrier)

A CVN, or Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier, is a large warship operated primarily by the U.S. Navy. It uses nuclear reactors to generate the power needed to propel it across oceans and run advanced systems, including radar, communications, and aircraft operations. Thanks to nuclear propulsion, CVNs can stay at sea for extended periods without refueling, offering global reach and rapid deployment capabilities. They serve as floating airbases, supporting and launching aircraft for defense, surveillance, and strategic operations. Their immense size and technology make them some of the most powerful and versatile vessels in naval warfare.
