U.S. Navy Carriers Keep Freedom Safe

05 April 2022

05 April 2022

U.S. Navy aircraft carriers maintain unmatched responsiveness, flexibility and mobility as well as the unique ability to operate forward, far away from American shores, unconstrained by the need to refuel. The nuclear-powered ship provides extra capacity for aircraft fuel, armament and additional warfighting capability — a growth margin for future technology in shipboard warfighting systems and advanced aircraft. This asymmetric advantage grants us access to maritime domains that no other country can influence across the full range of military options.

For 100 years, U.S. Navy aircraft carriers have projected power, sustained sea control, and maintained America’s enduring commitments in the maritime domain around the world. No other weapons system can deploy and operate forward with the speed, endurance, and agility of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier. George H.W. Bush provides the national command authority flexible, tailorable warfighting capability as the flagship of the carrier strike group which maintains maritime stability and security in order to ensure access, deter aggression and defend U.S., allied and partner interests.
