	Aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Carriers steam at speed, for example up to 35 knots (65 km/h), into the wind during take-off in order to increase the apparent wind speed, thereby reducing the speed of the aircraft relative to the ship.
		Though aircraft carriers are given their definition with respect to fixed-wing aircraft, the first known instance of using a ship for airborne operations occurred in 1806, when the British Royal Navy's Lord Thomas Cochrane launched kites from the 32-gun frigate HMS Pallas in order to drop propaganda leaflets on the French territory.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the U.S. Navy, this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.

	Aircraft carrier
		Aircraft carriers are generally the largest ships operated by navies; a Nimitz-class carrier powered by two nuclear reactors and four steam turbines is 1092 ft (333 m) long and costs about $5 billion.
		Aircraft carriers played a significant role in World War II, the most notable of which is considered to be the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
		As now only nuclear powered carriers have boilers as part of their motive power system, the majority of aircraft carriers are now equipped with steam generating plant solely to power the catapults.

	United States Navy - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Aircraft carriers are the most important and most powerful warships in the United States Navy.
		Multiple carriers are deployed around the world at any given time to provide military presence, respond quickly to crises, and participate in joint exercises with allied forces.
		Amphibious assault ships are the centerpieces of U.S. amphibious warfare and fulfill the same power projection role as aircraft carriers except that their striking force is comprised of land forces instead of aircraft.

	Cole (OK04) - Weekly Column: Meeting the Needs of the Day and Age, Expanding the Military
		I believe these changes to our military structure are necessary, but also believe we must expand the size of the military to meet the needs of the day and age.
		Divisions are composed of smaller units, known as brigades, with 3,000 to 5,000 soldiers.
		In order to become more responsive and deployable, the Army is currently redesigning its ten active duty division force to a 43 or 48 brigade-level unit of action.

	Carolinas Aviation Museum - F-14D BuNo 161166
		Roosevelt and Carrier Air Wing Eight (CVW-8) are on deployment conducting combat missions in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
		The Museum's F-14D made aviation history on the last Tomcat deployment by being the first aircraft in the history of military aviation to be have a forward ground controller to be invited "into" the cockpit of the aircraft via the ROVER (Remotely Operated Video Enhanced Receiver).
		This technology was conceived, developed and implemented during the last F-14D deployment using off the shelf technology and shortly after the successful initial mission flown by #207, was installed on all fighter (F-14 Tomcat) and strike fighter (F/A-18 Hornet) aircraft embarked aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt (TR), "Big Stick".

	World Aircraft Carriers List: US Supercarriers
		Despite their smaller size, these ships were able to carry out the same mission as CVA 58 because of advances in carrier design, and rapid advances in aircraft and nuclear weapons technology which reduced the size of nuclear strike aircraft.
		The large sponsons carrying the forward guns were found to be a problem in high seas and were removed from most ships.
		The major improvements were elimination of the forward guns and sponsons, replacement of the aft guns with Terrier missile launchers, relocation of the port side elevator from forward to aft, and rearrangement of the starboard side elevators.
