Every helicopter and plane aboard a US aircraft carrier explained
A recent video from the US Naval Institute takes us aboard the USS John C. Stennis with the 9th Carrier Wing to detail the role, functions, and capabilities of every single plane and helicopter on the ship.
The US's 10 operational aircraft carriers each measure nearly 1,100 feet in length, house as many as 6,000 sailors, and support more than 70 aircraft. These are some of the most complex, imposing machines ever made by man.
From providing mobile air superiority, to striking ground targets, to jamming enemy radar, hunting submarines, or routine logistics support, the Carrier Wing group has a tool for each job.
Get an inside look in the slides below at the air power the US Navy's 9th Carrier Wing can bring to bear on short notice to any location in the world.
