The USS Ronald Reagan is the world's most powerful aircraft carrier.Zip up your military flight suit, strap on your protective headgear and get ready to experience the rush of an F/A-18 being launched off the world's most advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in Supercarrier: USS Ronald Reagan. A ship nearly as long as the Empire State building is tall, yet able to speed through the water at more than 30 knots, or 35 miles per hour, this floating American territory is one of the most complex machines on earth.
This floating piece of American territory is a potent weapon, swarming with planes, explosives and thousands of the Navy's best crew.
This massive mobile 'city at sea' centres around the hangar bay, flight deck, primary flight and air traffic controls, from which the Reagan's primary objective is achieved: the launch and retrieval of legions of multi-million dollar strike fighter jets. The entire crew, from the Captain and X.O to the aircraft, fuel and weapons handlers to the chefs, medics and garbage men keep this super carrier afloat and in perfect working order. Below deck, top secret nuclear power reactors are housed alongside the corridors, barracks and mess halls that provide a home away from home for the 5,000 men and women aboard.
