Carrier military planes are engineered for short takeoffs and landings from aircraft carriers, providing essential capabilities in naval warfare, especially during WWII.
The production of carrier-borne aircraft remains crucial for U.S. military strategy as it allows for rapid deployment in areas far from land bases.
While land-based aircraft have advantages, carrier-borne planes play a vital role in America's modern combat readiness against emerging global threats.
As of April 2024, the U.S. operates 11 large nuclear-powered fleet carriers, each capable of carrying around 80 specialized fighter aircraft.
