Subtopics
Ships
- Aircraft carrier [r]: A warship designed to launch and recover combat aircraft and aircraft that support military operations [e]
- Nimitz-class [r]: Main class, in the U.S. Navy, of large aircraft carriers with nuclear propulsion [e]
- Cruiser [r]: While definitions vary with time and doctrine, a large warship capable of acting independently, as a flagship, or a major escort; capabilities include anti-air warfare, anti-surface warfare, anti-submarine warfare, land attack, and possibly ballistic missile defense [e]
- Ticonderoga-class [r]: Modern U.S. Navy cruisers usually serving as carrier or amphibious escorts, but capable of independent action including long-range strike, anti-air/anti-ballistic missile/anti-satellite warfare, naval gunfire support, and antisubmarine warfare. [e]
- Destroyer [r]: While the definition has evolved constantly, it is a multipurpose surface warship, generally less powerful than a cruiser, with capabilities against ship, aircraft, submarine, land, and sometimes ballistic missile targets [e]
- Burke-class [r]: Large U.S. Navy multirole destroyers equipped with AEGIS battle management system and constant upgrades; Japan has Kongo-class clones, also being upgraded to ballistic missile defense; South Korea has the KDK-class [e]
- Type 45-class [r]: The latest class of British destroyer, a large multirole ship with very strong anti-air warfare capabilities, with the first vessel on sea trials [e]
- Submarine [r]: A ship or boat that can travel underwater [e]
- Los Angeles-class [r]: The primary class of attack submarines in the United States Navy, built in three groups of which early models are being retired; to be replaced by the Virginia-class [e]
- Virginia-class [r]: Latest attack submarine class of the U.S. Navy, smaller than Seawolf-class for cost and to give better littoral warfare capabilities; port-swappable mission modules to optimize for surveillance, special operations [e]
Aircraft
- Carrier Air Group [r]: Add brief definition or description
- F-18 Hornet [r]: A relatively lightweight carrier-capable multirole fighter, developed by the United States Navy and used by several nations, including Canada, in land-based roles; a fourth-generation fighter gradually being replaced by the F-18E/F Super Hornet, and then the F-35. [e]
- F-18 Super Hornet [r]: A new generation of carrier-based fighter beyond the F-18 Hornet, this evolution provides an architecture with even greater expansion, especially with the AN/APG-79 AESA radar, more powerful computers and communications, and a new engine with longer range. [e]
- EA-6B Prowler [r]: This is the main tactical electronic warfare aircraft of the U.S. military, highly effective although reaching the end of its service life through airframe exhaustion [e]
- EF-18 Growler [r]: The U.S. Navy replacement for the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft [e]
- E-2 Hawkeye [r]: Designed for the U.S. Navy and used by several other countries, this radar aircraft carries long-range airborne early warning and surface search radar, and has a modest force command & control capability, the latter enhanced by "virtual workstations" on linked ships [e]
- MH-60R Seahawk [r]: Named the Seahawk, both a new production aircraft and a remanufacture of the existing SH-60B Seahawk and SH-60F Ocean Hawk naval helicopter, for anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare, eliminating the carrier vs. non-carrier variants [e]
- Land-based naval aircraft [r]: Fixed-wing, non-carrier capable aircraft used to support naval operations, including types for maritime patrol, Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and logistics, the latter including air refueling [e]
