Its construction began in 2003 and cost US taxpayers at 6, $ 5 billion. The ship was put into service by the US Army in 2009. That did not complete tactical and technical characteristics: the displacement of 110 000 tons, length of 332.8m, has two nuclear reactors, has a top speed up to 60km / h. The ship carries 90 aircraft, helicopters and fighter planes, served the team in 3, 200 people. Able to be in the swim up to 20 years without refueling. A sort of modern \ "Noah's Ark \».
This ship contains the most recent advances of the 21st century in the field of shipbuilding. Among them - a new chassis design, curved to increase buoyancy; innovative coating to reduce radar visibility; Screws specific configuration and much more.
Carriers class \ "Nimitz \" module. Each of the modules is collected separately, and delivered Join to other modules in the final stages of construction.
Control tower equipped with the most modern means of navigation, satellite communication, a powerful radar systems capable of controlling the situation in the air, on and under the water for hundreds of kilometers around. Cutting itself, and indeed the entire ship, covered with a layer of 67mm Kevlar armor.
Felling and antenna maximum shifted to the edge of the deck, which increased the space for takeoff and landing aircraft.
On the deck of an aircraft carrier and dozens of fighter attack aircraft, including the F / A-18 Hornet, F-35C, AV-8B Harrier II.

The carrier holds a huge shop with machines and spare parts. You can repair the aircraft carrier itself, and any aircraft. By the way, in the service of flight crews involved more than 2, 500 people. Among them are women.
All planes are launched from the deck using a catapult. The principle of its operation is very similar to the slingshot: the plane clings to the front chassis of the accelerating device. The operator sets the required weight and value of the acceleration in the system and it selects the optimal speed or \ "pull \" for accelerating device.
Aircraft engine acceleration, and then press the start catapult.
Fighter \ "fired into the sky \" and then goes on solo flight. On landing, the situation is much more complicated. Pilots need to cling to the brake hook the rope, which increases the tension depending on the weight and speed of the ship sitting down.
The only exceptions are the helicopters and fighter jets capable of taking off vertically.
All the ship busy. A typical day consists of a sailor 12-hour watch with breaks for meal, 4 hours of personal time and 8 hours of sleep.
