	Death and Rebirth of the Supercarrier
		The death of the supercarrier project was caused by uncertainty in defense policy, inter-service rivalry and politics.
		The design of the supercarrier was dictated entirely by the requirements of the aircraft she was to operate.
		Design and construction of the supercarrier was officially proposed to the Chief of Naval Operations on December 28, 1945, in a memo from Rear Admiral H. Sallada, head of the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics.

		Because of the angled deck and large deck area, supercarriers can have a far larger island than conventional carriers, greatly improving both their aviation capabilities and their capability as flagships.

	OpinionEditorials.com — Demise of the Supercarrier - Burleson
		Supercarriers posses large air wings with interceptors and early warning aircraft which would have checked any Argentine strike on the fleet, they say.
		One mission the supercarrier advocates firmly lay claim to is the close support of ground troops.
		Some have declared if the giant supercarrier is obsolete, with her numerous water-tight compartments and armored hull, then all warships must be vulnerable to emerging technologies.

	Air Power:The Aircraft Carrier
		Money for a new fleet of supercarriers, however, was hard to come by because, after the war, defense spending had been reduced to a level that would support only one large project.
		The air force won, and the supercarrier project was canceled even though the keel of the first supercarrier, the USS United States, had been laid down just five days earlier.
		The navy and the Marine Corps, which usually did not cooperate on funding issues, united to discredit the air force project, afraid that the funding of the B-36 was the first move in the process to unify all aviation under one service, a development they opposed.

	Revolt of the Admirals
		Believing that construction of the flush-deck supercarrier was unnecessary, wasteful of funds, and a duplication of the Air Force's mission, he polled the Joint Chiefs (Adm. Louis E. Denfeld was the lone vote for construction) and then obtained Truman's approval to stop construction.
		Omar Bradley, Army Chief of Staff, and Air Force Chief Vandenberg believed that the function of the supercarrier was actually a primary function of the Air Force and that the use of carrier aircraft against land targets should be limited.
		They claimed that the B-36 was an inferior plane that could not accomplish the strategic bombing mission against the Soviet Union, that the entire concept of strategic bombing was unsound, and that the decision not to construct the supercarrier weakened the Navy and was itself a threat to the national security.

	Howstuffworks "How Aircraft Carriers Work"
		Since the 1950s, almost all U.S. supercarriers have been constructed at Northrop Grumman Newport News in Newport News, Virginia.
		The trade-offs are a more expensive power plant, a longer, more complicated refueling process (it takes several years) and the added risk of a nuclear disaster at sea.
		To minimize the risk of such a catastrophe, the reactors inside a supercarrier are heavily shielded and closely monitored.

		The project for the 231 meter-long and 25,000-30,000 tonnes conventional powered Buque de ProyecciÃ³n EstratÃ©gica (Strategic projection vessel) for the Spanish navy was approved in 2003, and its construction started in August 2005, with the ship-building firm Navantia in charge of the project.

	AMENDMENT NO. 1841 TO DELAY PROCUREMENT OF THE CVN-76 AIRCRAFT CARRIER - NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL ...
		When we look at the danger of reducing our supercarrier force from 12 to 11 in 2003, to say that we must respond to every crisis with a supercarrier is to ignore our entire true record of the post-World War II experience.
		It is not the 6 that some have suggested, it is not 6 supercarriers and not 7, it is not 9, and not even 10.
		Spending this much money now on this particular supercarrier means, as the chairman of the committee indicated earlier on another amendment, that there will simply be less money available for other critical items for research and development that may ultimately have far more to do with national security than one supercarrier could ever have.

	Super Carrier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		USS John C. Stennis, a typical supercarrier, and HMS Illustrious, a conventional aircraft carrier on a joint patrol.
		A supercarrier is a form of aircraft carrier, generally considered to be 75,000 tons or greater in displacement—most countries operate carriers with a displacement of less than 40,000 tons (such as the French Charles de Gaulle), and more often closer to 15,000 (such as HMS Illustrious.)
		All completed supercarriers are American, although the Soviet Union did begin construction of the Ulyanovsk, an 85,000 ton nuclear carrier comparable in size to earlier American supercarriers.

		On the Senate floor, he cited military analysts who say the nation could make do with fewer than the dozen supercarriers that the Navy says are essential if Americans are to be poised to fight and win two more or less simultaneous regional wars, each on the scale of the Persian Gulf conflict.
