US Navy Aircraft Carrier Program

The US Navy Aircraft Carrier Program involves designing, building, and maintaining large ships that serve as floating military bases for aircraft. These carriers enable the Navy to project air power globally, providing a mobile and flexible platform for airplanes to launch, recover, and operate. They are equipped with advanced weapons, radar, and command systems to support various missions, including defense, strike operations, and humanitarian aid. The program emphasizes technological innovation, fleet readiness, and strategic dominance, making carriers central to the Navy's ability to operate effectively across international waters.
