The Gerald R. Ford is the first ship in a new class of US Navy aircraft carriers. It’s a nuclear-powered, technologically advanced floating airfield with enough firepower to deter potential adversaries on sight. Then, what kind of aircraft does this carrier carry?
Let’s take a look at some examples. First up, the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. This versatile aircraft is a true workhorse. With its ability to perform air-to-air and air-to-ground missions, it’s the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s strike fighter fleet. Next on the list is the F-35C, a stealthy marvel built for carrier operations. This cutting-edge fighter jet can dominate the skies. When it comes to keeping an eye on the battlefield, the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye takes center stage. This airborne early warning and control aircraft provides vital situational awareness and supports command. Next one: Meet the EA-18G Growler. Based on the Super Hornet airframe, this specialized aircraft can jam enemy radar systems and conduct electronic attacks, giving it a critical edge.
