The biggest aircraft carrier in the US Navy is the Nimitz CVN-68 aircraft carrier. It has been working for many years and is famous for its large capacity and unique features.
Unlike most recent amphibious assault ships, USS America and her sister USS Tripoli lack well-decks, instead focusing on aviation facilities. When fully operational, America and Tripoli will operate as many as 20 F-35Bs, potentially playing a critical role in what the Navy projects as the future of air superiority. Inevitably, the delivery of USS America rekindles the ongoing conversation over what, precisely, constitutes an aircraft carrier. In the United States, we endure the polite fiction that the USNâs 45,000 ton aircraft carriers are not aircraft carriers, but rather some other kind of creature.
