Small Aircraft Carriers: The Future of the U.S. Navy?
For the first time in decades, the number of carriers dropped below twenty, making it increasingly unlikely that enough flight decks would be available during a conventional war to service all requirements.
Here’s What You Need to Remember: The United States Navy’s ten nuclear supercarriers are the largest warships on the high seas. Home to more than five thousand sailors and Marines, the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers are nuclear-powered and can carry nearly ninety combat aircraft.
