  In July 1951, the Navy announced plans to build a 60,000 ton, 1039 foot carrier designated CVB-59. The keel was laid in July 1952 and less than 30 months later, the first "super-carrier" was christened (by Mrs. James V. Forrestal) USS FORRESTAL. On October 1, 1955 FORRESTAL was commissioned (as CVA-59) and officially joined the fleet. In the Fall of 1956, FORRESTAL was called to assist forces in the Mediterranean during the Suez crisis. From 1958 through 1966, FORRESTAL alternated between the Second Fleet in the Atlantic and the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranian. On October 30, 1963 a crew led by Lt. James H. Flatley III completed 21 unarrested full stop landings and 21 unassisted take-offs onboard FORRESTAL. This was out of the ordinary because the aircraft used was a KC-130F refueler transport on loan from the Marines as part of a COD (Carrier Onboard Delivery) feasibility study. In so doing, the plane and crew became the largest and heaviest airplane to land on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, a record that holds to this day. In June of 1967, she departed Norfolk for duties in the waters off Vietnam. After only 4 1/2 days of combat operations, a tragic fire broke out on the flight deck which claimed 134 crewmen. The entire nation felt the tragedy, summed up in a quote made by Lt. Commander Herbert A. Hope "in five minutes, everyone on this ship became a man", and published by Life Magazine for their.

  USS Saratoga, second of the 56,000-ton Forrestal class aircraft carriers, was built at New York Naval Shipyard. She went into commission in April 1956, operated in the Western Hemisphere until September 1957, then briefly went to Northern European waters to participate in operation "Strikeback". In February 1958, Saratoga began the first of more than twenty deployments to operate with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. Over the following decade, the big carrier made seven more tours to that increasingly tense part of the World.
  Given a major overhaul in 1968, Saratoga played host to President Nixon in May 1969, then departed for her 9th Mediterranean cruise, which was marked by a growing Soviet naval presence in the "Middle Sea" and by unrest in Arab nations. Two more Sixth Fleet deployments in 1970 and 1971, including North Atlantic operations during the latter, were followed by the ship's only Pacific cruise. From May 1972 until January 1973, Saratoga served with the Seventh Fleet off Vietnam, taking part in combat operations to stop and partially reverse an intense North Vietnamese offensive against the South. During this deployment, in June 1972, the ship received the new designation CV-60.
  Through the rest of the 1970s, Saratoga crossed the Atlantic regularly to visit the Mediterranean. In September 1980, following her sixteenth Sixth Fleet cruise, she began a massive "SLEP" reconstruction. This work was completed in February 1983, and the next year saw her back in the Med for tour number 17. During her next deployment, in October 1985, Saratoga's aircraft intercepted an airliner carrying terrorists who had recently hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro, forcing the plane to land in Italy. In 1986, the ship took part in combat operations against Libyan forces at sea and ashore.
  In August 1990, Saratoga steamed through the Mediterranean and passed through the Suez Canal to operate in the Red Sea as part of the response to Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. The first two months of 1991 saw her aircraft participating vigorously in operation "Desert Storm", which broke the Iraqi army and forced it out of Kuwait. Two more Sixth Fleet deployments rounded out the carrier's active career, one in 1992 and the other in 1993-94. Both involved air activities over the Balkans, in an effort to restrain the brutal war in Bosnia. Departing the Mediterranean for the last time in June 1994, the ship began preparations for inactivation. USS Saratoga was placed out of commission and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register at the end of September 1994. After resting at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from mid-1995 to mid-1998, she was towed to Newport, Rhode Island, where she remains in Navy custody pending final disposal.

  At the commissioning of ENTERPRISE on September 24, 1960, the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was the mightiest warship to ever sail the seas. Enterprise is the longest carrier in the Navy at 1,123 feet. It is also the tallest (250 feet) and fastest (30+ nautical miles per hour) carrier in the fleet. She was built with a distinctive square island supporting phased-array radars and a complex EW system.
  In August 1962 ENTERPRISE joined the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, and made its second and third deployments to the Mediterranean in 1963 and 1964. During the latter deployment, on May 13, the world's first nuclear-powered task force was formed when USS LONG BEACH and USS BAINBRIDGE joined ENTERPRISE. On July 31, the three ships were designated Task Force One and sent on "Operation Sea Orbit," a historic 30,565-mile voyage around the world, accomplished without a single refueling or replenishment. She was the first nuclear ship to enter combat when her aircraft struck targets in Vietnam, and she assisted in the evacuation of Saigon at the end of the Vietnam conflict.
  In October 1964 ENTERPRISE returned to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company for its first refueling and overhaul. ENTERPRISE returned to Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in 1970 for an overhaul and second refueling. Following the 1973 cease-fire in Vietnam, ENTERPRISE proceeded to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Wash., where "Big E" was altered and refitted to support the Navy's newest fighter aircraft -- the F-14A "Tomcat."
  The years 1979 to 1982 were spent at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard receiving a reconstructed island and numerous improvements. When first completed the island of the Enterprise had a very unique shaped structure consisting of a dome shaped top resting on a box, supporting SPS-32 and 33 radars, plus many ECM antennas, which were located on all four sides and top dome of the ship. These were all removed during retrofit, and the island was completely altered to resemble the island of Kitty Hawk class carriers. And in October 1990 ENTERPRISE moved to Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for refueling and the Navy's largest complex overhaul ever attempted, being updated for service through 2015. ENTERPRISE completed its overhaul, the most extensive in U.S. Naval history, on Sept. 27, 1994.
  In mid-January 1995, "Big E" returned to Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for a five month Selected Restricted Availability. The yard period involved upgrades to all of the combat and communications systems, intelligence suites, command and control capabilities, ventilation systems, berthing and dining areas, and underway replenishment equipment. In January 1997 Big "E" returned to Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company for a six month Selected Restricted Availability. The focus of the yard period was habitability upgrades and various combat systems. An extended overhaul for the Enterprise began at Newport News Shipbuilding in 1999 and continued through mid-year 2000.

  The ship's keel was laid on October 22, 1964. She was christened May 27, 1967 by Jacqueline Kennedy and her 9-year-old daughter, Caroline at Newport News, Virginia, and entered service September 7, 1968. John F. Kennedy is a modified version of the earlier Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers but there are enough differences in the Kennedy that the Navy considers her in a single-class of her own. Kennedy was ordered as a nuclear carrier, using the A3W reactor, but converted to conventional propulsion after construction had begun. The island is somewhat different from the Kitty Hawk class, with angled funnels to direct smoke and gases away from the flight deck.

  Projekt 1143.5 Admiral Kuzenjecov danas je jedini nosač aviona u sastavu ruske flote. Brod je zvanično klasifikovan kao "teška avionoseća krstrarica" (TAKR). Predstavlja najveći ratni brod ikada građen u Evropi.
  Gradnja broda počela je 1. aprila 1982. godine u brodogradilištu u gradu Nikolajevu (danas u Ukrajini). Porinut je 6. decembra 1985. godine, opremanje je završeno 25. decembra 1990, a u operativnu upotrebu uveden je 20. januara 1991. godine. Nosač je nekoliko puta menjao ime - prvobitno je nosio ime Riga, 26.11.1982. preimenovan je u Leonid Brežnjev, 11.8.1987. dobio je naziv Tbilisi, da bi konačno 4.10.1990. godine dobio ime Admiral Flota Sovjetskovo Sajuza Kuznjecov.
  Brod je konstruisan na bazi nosača aviona sa vertikalnim poletanjem i sletanjem Baku (Projekt 1143.4, kasnije preimenovan u Admiral Goršakov). Trup je modifikovan i produžen, a "ostrvo" i pogonska grupa ostali su identični kao kod nosača klase Baku.
  Prvobitno je bilo predviđeno da Admiral Kuznjecov bude opremljen parnim katapultima za avione, međutim tokom projektovanja se od te ideje odustalo i na palubu je ugrađena "skijaška skakaonica" ("ski jump") koja olakšava poletanje aviona. Paluba je dugačka 304,5 m i široka 75 m, a ispod nje se nalazi prostran hangar za smeštaj letelica. U zavisnosti od zadatka brod može da ponese do 24 lovačka aviona Su-33 ili do 42 helikoptera tipa Ka-27 i Ka-29. Najčešće se nosi 12 aviona Su-33 i 24 helikoptera. Na nosaču se testirani i avioni MiG-29K i Su-25K, ali nisu uvedeni u operativnu upotrebu. Letelice se iz hangara do poletno-sletne palube transportuju uz pomoć dva lifta.
  Za pogon broda se koriste četiri parne turbine snage po 50.000 ks, čija snaga se prenosi na 4 propelera. Maksimalna brzina plovidbe je 29-32 čvora, ekonomska brzina 18 čvorova, a daljina plovidbe 8000 do 8500 nautičkih milja.Nosač aviona Admiral Kuznjecov raspolaže respektivnim naoružanjem za borbu protiv ciljeva na površini, pod morem i u vazduhu.U prednjem delu broda ugrađeno je 12 vertikalnih lansera za protivbrodske rakete P-700 Granit (NATO oznaka SS-N-19 Shipwreck) dometa oko 550 km. Rakete imaju konvencionalnu bojevu glavu mase 750 kg ili nuklearnu BG snage 500 kT.
  Za uništavanje ciljeva u vazduhu koriste se rakete 9M330 Kinžal (SA-N-9 Gauntlet) dometa 12 km. U borbenom kompletu se nalaze ukupno 192 projektila Kinžal u 24 osmostruka vertikalna lansera. Ovaj kompleks je izuzetno efikasan u dejstvu protiv niskoletećih aviona, helikoptera i raketa, a predstavlja mornaričku varijantu kopnenog sistema PVO Tor (SA-15).Za neposrednu protivraketnu odbranu broda koristi se 8 kombinovanih artiljerijsko-raketnih sistema 3M87 Kortik (CADS-N-1). Svaki sistem Kortik se sastoji od 8 lansera za rakete 9M311 (NATO oznaka SA-N-11 Grison, inače iste rakete koje se koriste na vozilu Tunguska) i dva šestocevna rotirajuća topa kalibra 30 mm. Kao dopuna kompleksu Kortik brod ima još 6 automatskih šestocevnih Gatling topova AK-630M istog kalibra.
  Za protivpodmorničku borbu i odbranu od torpednih napada Admiral Kuznjecov je naoružan sa dva desetocevna bacača raketnih dubinskih bombi i protiv-torpednih mamaca RBU-12000 Udav-1.Brod raspolaže velikim brojem različitih senzora za praćenje ciljeva na moru, pod morem i u vazdušnom prostoru.
 
Varyag

Designer:  Nevskoye Planning and Design Bureau
Shipyard:  Nikolayev South
Ordered:  Unknown
Laid down:  December 6, 1985
Launched:  December 4, 1988
Commissioned:  Never Completed,construction stopped in 1992 with 60% done
Fate:  In storage

  Varyag was to be an Admiral Kuznetsov class multirole aircraft carrier. She was known as Riga[1] when her keel was laid down at Nikolayev South (formerly Shipyard 444) in Nikolayev December 6, 1985,[2] and she was launched December 4, 1988, but she was renamed Varyag (Varangian) in late 1990, after a famous Russian cruiser.
  Construction stopped by 1992 with the ship structurally complete but without electronics. Ownership was transferred to Ukraine as the Soviet Union broke up and the ship was laid up unmaintained, then stripped. In early 1998, she lacked engines, a rudder, and much of her operating systems. She was put up for auction.

  Krajem šezdesetih godina vlada Velike Britanije otkazala je gradnju nosača aviona na nuklearni pogon CVA 01, a planirano je povlačenje iz upotrebe nosača HMS Ark Royal, Eagle, Hermes i Victorious. Da mornarica ne bi ostala bez podrške iz vazduha, 1968 godine je odlučeno da se otpočne sa projektovanjem i gradjom nove klase brodova sa kojih bi prvenstveno operisali protivpodmornički helikopteri.
  Gradnja prvog broda u klasi Invincible počela je 20. jula 1973. godine u brodogradilištu Vickers Shipbuilding & Engineering, a nosač je porinut 3. maja 1977. godine. Iste godine je doneta odluka da se brod modifikuje tako da se na njemu u slučaju potrebe može smestiti brigada mornaričke pešadije. Gradnja drugog broda - HMS Illustrious počinje 1976. godine, a dve godine kasnije naručen je i treći brod - HMS Ark Royal.
  Standardni deplasman nosača aviona Invincible je 16000 tona, a puni 20600 tona. Dužina preko svega je 209,1 m, širina 27,5 m, gaz 8 m. Posadu čini 60 oficira, 625 podoficira i mornara, 80 vazduhoplovnih oficira i 245 pripadnika letačkog osoblja.
  Poletno-sletna paluba je dugačka 167,8 m, široka 13,5 m, a na njenom kraju nalazi se "skijaška skakaonica" ("ski jump") sa nagibom od 7 stepeni. Ugradnja "skakaonice" znatno povećava koristan teret koji avioni Sea Harrier mogu poneti prilikom poletanja, a povećava i bezbednost izvođenja vazduhoplovnih operacija. Poslednji brod u klasi - HMS Ark Royal građen je sa uglom "skakaonice" od 12° a kasnije je i na preostala dva broda ugao povećan, ali na 13°. Avioni Sea Harrier na nosač sleću veritkalno i to na posebno predviđeno mesto koje je dodatno ojačano. Za poletanje i sletanje helikoptera predviđeno je sedam mesta, ali se najčešće koristi samo pet.
  Nadgrađe u obliku "ostrva" se nalazi na desnom delu broda i u njemu su smeštena komandna mesta, kontrola leta, senzori i druga elektronska oprema.
  Ispod cele poletno-sletne palube nalazi se hangar koji je podeljen u tri dela. Vazduhoplovi se do palube podižu uz pomoć dva lifta nosivosti 18 t.
  Na brodu je u početku bilo bazirano pet aviona sa vertikalnim poletanjem i sletanjem Sea Harrier, da bi kasnije taj broj bio povećan na devet. Krajem devedesetih godina postala je praksa da na nosaču bazira i nekoliko aviona Harrier GR.7 britanskog kraljevskog vazduholovstva (RAF). Tada su mornarički Sea Harrier-i zaduženi za lovačke zadatke, a RAF-ovi avioni za napad na ciljeve na zemlji. Na brodu je bazirano i devet protivpodmorničkih helikoptera Sea King, kao i dva ili tri helikoptera za rano upozoravanje Sea King AEW Mk2. Letelice Sea King se postepeno zamenjuju novim helikopterom EH 101 Merlin.
  Na pramcu broda, desno od "skakaonice" postavljen je jedan dvostruki lanser za protivavionske rakete Sea Dart. Domet projektila je veći od 40 km, a gađaju se ciljevi koji lete na visinama do 18300 m. Sistem Sea Dart koristi poluaktivno radarsko vođenje. U borbenom kompletu se nalazi ukupno 36 raketa. Tokom 1998. godine sa broda HMS Illustrious uklonjen je lanser sistema Sea Dart i na taj način su povećane dimenzije poletno-sletne palube.
  Za protivraketnu odbranu broda Ark Royal namenjena su tri sistema Mk 15 Vulcan Phalanx sa šestocevnim rotirajućim topovima 20 mm, dok brodovi Invincible i Illustrious imaju po tri sistema Goalkeeper sa sedmocevnim rotirajućim topovima kalibra 30 mm.
Od 1983. godine brodovi klase Invincible naoružani su i sa po dva jednocevna topa Oerlikon/BMARC GAM-B01 kalibra 20 mm.
  Klasa Invincible raspolaže velikim brojem različitih senzora. Za osmatranje vazdušnog prostora koristi se radar Marconi/Signaal Type 1022 dometa 265 km, za osmatranje morske površine radar Type 922R (na brodu HMS Ark Royal), odnosno Type 996, za upravljanje vatrom raketnim sistemom Sea Dart koristi se radar Type 909, za navigaciju par radara Type 1006 ili Type 1007. Ispod pramca ugrađen je aktivni sonar Plessey Type 2016. Za elektronsko izviđenje i protivelektronska dejstva koriste se sistemi MEL UAA 2 i Thorn EMI Type 675. Brod raspolaže i sa osam šestocevnih lansera mamaca Sea Gnat.
  Pogon broda je tipa COGAG i sastoji se od dva para gasnih turbina Rolls-Royce Olympus TM3B snage 72,5 MW (97200 ks). Brod ima dva propelera. Maksimalna brzina je 28 čvorova, a ekonomska 18 čvorova. Električnu energiju obezbeđuje osam dizel generatora RP200 snege 1,75 MW.

  Italijanski nosač aviona Giuseppe Garibaldi namenjen je za protivpodmornička dejstva, eskort plovnih sastava, nadzor i kontrolu mora i vazdušnog prostora, komandovanje flotom, pomoć u otklanjanju posledica elementarnih nepogoda i drugih nesreća. U novije vreme koristi se i kao baza za specijalne jedinice i za podršku amfibijskim operacijama. To je najveći italijanski ratni brod izgrađen posle drugog svetskog rata.
  Garibaldi je naručen 21. novembra 1977. godine, projektovanje je trajalo do 1980, a nedugo zatim je počela gradnja u brodogradilištu Monfalcone. Porinut je 4. juna 1983, a u sastav flote ušao je 30. septembra 1985. godine.
  Brod ima 6 paluba, i 13 vodonepropusnih pregrada. Neprekidnu poletno-sletnu stazu (palubu) dimenzija 174 x 30 m opslužuju dva lifta nosivosti 15 tona i dimenzija 18 x 10 m. Na pramcu je izvedena "skakaonica" ("ski jump") za poletanje aviona, sa nagibom od 6,5°. Dimenzije hangara su 110 x 15 x 6 m i u njega se može smestiti do 12 helikoptera SH-3D Sea King ili različite kombinacije aviona AV-8B/TAV-8B Harrier i helikoptera SH-3D, AB 212, AB 205, A 129 i CH-47. Brod ukupno može da ponese 16 aviona Harrier.
  Pogonska grupa je tipa COGAG i čine je četiri gasne turbine Fiat/GE LM 2500 ukupne maksimalne trajne snage 60 MW. Snaga se preko dve osovine prenosi na dva petokraka propelera. Maksimalna brzina broda je oko 30 čvorova.
  Za dejstvo protiv ciljeva na površini Giuseppe Garibaldi je naoružan sa osam protivbrodskih raketa OTOMAT Teseo Mk 2 (TG 2), maksimalnog dometa 180 km. Za vođenje rakete na srednjem delu putanje (iza horizonta) mogu se koristiti helikopteri, dok se u završnom delu putanje projektil aktivno radarski samonavodi na cilj.
  Dva osmostruka lansera Albatros koriste se za lansiranje protivavionskih raketa Aspide. Projektil Aspide ima maksimalan domet po daljini od oko 13000 m, a po visini 5000 m. U slučaju potrebe može se koristiti i za gađanje ciljeva na površini. Ukupno se u borbenom kompletu nalazi 48 raketa.
  Za protivraketnu odbranu namenjena su tri artiljerijska sistema Breda DARDO, svaki sa po jednim dvocevnim topom kalibra 40 mm. Domet protiv ciljeva u vazduhu je 4 km, a protiv površinskih ciljeva 12,5 km.
  Žicom vođena protivpodmornička torpeda kalibra 324 mm lansiraju se iz dva trocevna torpedna aparata ILAS. U borbenom kompletu se nalazi 6 torpeda Mk 46 ili A 290.
Na brodu se nalazi nekoliko osmatračkih radara:
 - Hughes SPS-52C; 3D radar; E/F opseg; domet 440 km,
 - Selenia SPS-768 (RAN 3L); D opseg; domet 220 km,
 - SMA SPN-728; I-opseg; domet 73 km,
 - Selenia SPS-774 (RAN 10S); E/F opseg; domet 155 km,
 - SMA SPS-702 UPX; I opseg.

Za upravljanje vatrom koriste se radari:
 - 3 Selenia SPG-75 (RTN 30X); I/J opseg; domet 15 km; za Albatros
 - 3 Selenia SPG-74 (RTN 20X); I/J opseg; domet 13 km; za Dardo.

  Radar SMA SPN-749(V)2 (I opseg) se koristi za navigaciju. Aktivni sonar Raytheon DE 1160 namenjen je za otkrivanje ciljeva ispod morske površine. Brod je opremljen radarom za kontrolu sletanja helikoptera, opto-elektronskim sistemima Alenia NA 30E i Dardo NA 21 i sistemima za prenos, obradu i prikazivanje podataka.
  Integrisani sistem za elektronsko ratovanje Elettronica Nettuno SLQ-732 omogućava pasivno otkrivanje ciljeva i ometanje protivničkih radara. Garibaldi ima tegljeni sistem za ometanje torpeda SLQ-25 Nixie i dva dvadesetocevna lansera IC i radarskih mamaca klibra 105 mm Breda SCLAR.

  Shōkaku (Japanese: 翔鶴 shōkaku meaning "flying crane") was an aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the lead ship of her class. Along with her sister ship Zuikaku, she is most famous for taking part in many key engagements of the World War II Pacific Theatre, including the battles of Pearl Harbor and the Coral Sea.[1]
  Shōkaku was laid down at Yokosuka Dockyard on December 12, 1937, launched on June 1, 1939, and commissioned on August 8, 1941. The Shōkaku class were part of the same program that also included Yamato-class battleships. With an efficient modern design, a displacement of about 30,000 tons, and a top speed of 34 knots (63 km/h), Shōkaku could carry 70 to 80 aircraft. Her enhanced protection compared to contemporary Allied aircraft carriers enabled Shōkaku to survive serious battle damage during Coral Sea and Santa Cruz, although she met her end from submarine torpedoes.
  Shōkaku and her sister ship Zuikaku, forming the Japanese 5th Carrier Division, acquired their aircraft shortly before the Pearl Harbor attack and were ready just in time for it. Her aircraft complement consisted of 15 Mitsubishi A6M fighters, 27 Aichi D3A dive bombers, and 27 Nakajima B5N torpedo bombers.
  With Zuikaku, Shōkaku joined the Kido Butai (Pearl Harbor attack force) and participated in Japan's series of early wartime naval offensives, including an attack on Rabaul in January 1942, and the Battle of the Coral Sea in May.
  In the Indian Ocean raid of March 1942, she joined the aircraft carriers Akagi, Zuikaku, Sōryū, and Hiryū in raiding Colombo. There Admiral Chuichi Nagumo succeeded in extensively damaging support facilities.
  That task completed, the task force found and sank the British carrier Hermes, and two cruisers (Cornwall and Dorsetshire), prior to moving on to the Coral Sea. Here she helped to sink USS Lexington, but was herself severely damaged by USS Yorktown's aircraft in return.
  After repairs, Shōkaku took part in two further 1942 battles, both in concert with her sister: the battle of the Eastern Solomons, where they damaged USS Enterprise, and the battle of the Santa Cruz Islands, where they sank USS Hornet but Shōkaku was once again seriously damaged by dive bombers.
  In 1943 under the command of Captain Matsubara Hiroshi, she resumed her role as one of the Japanese Navy's most important fleet carriers. She was assigned to a counter-attack against the Aleutian Islands, but the operation was cancelled after the Allied victory at Attu. For the remainder of 1943 she was based at Truk.
  In 1944 she was based at Lingga near Singapore. On 15 June 1944 she departed with the Mobile Fleet for Operation A-Go, a counterattack against allied forces in the Mariana Islands. During the Battle of the Philippine Sea on 19 June 1944 she was hit at 11:23 by three (possibly four) torpedoes from the U.S. submarine Cavalla (Commander Herman J. Kossler). As Shōkaku had been in the process of refueling aircraft and was in an extremely vulnerable position, the torpedoes started fires that proved impossible to control. At 14:08 an aerial bomb exploded, detonating aviation fuel. Shōkaku sank quickly, killing 1,272 men. The Yahagi, Urakaze, Wakatsuki, and Hatsuzuki rescued Captain Matsubara and 570 men.
