What old movie had an Aircraft carrier goes back in time?
The Final Countdown(1980).
How many kitchens are on an aircraft carrier?
There are 24 hour kitchens on most of the decks of an aircraft carrier. They have to feed over 5000 people three times a day any time of the day due to 24 hour shifts.
Who has the biggest aircraft carrier in the world?
The United States. I not sure, but last time I checked it was the USS Nimitz
How many planes can launch off an aircraft carrier per second?
The average aircraft carrier, in the United States Navy, can put a jet into the air every 15 seconds. The Jets need to have some time between their takeoffs for safety.
How longdoes an aircraft carrier stay at sea?
An aircraft carrier typically stays at sea for deployments lasting about six to nine months, although this can vary based on mission requirements and operational needs. During this time, the carrier may conduct various training exercises, humanitarian missions, or combat operations. After a deployment, carriers usually return to port for maintenance and crew rest before the next deployment cycle.

What was the purpose of the doolittle raid and the problem military planners had to solve to make successful?
The Doolittle Raid of Saturday, 18 April 1942, was designed to be symbolic in nature. It would openly demonstrate to the Japanese & the Allies that the United States could & would strike back at the Japanese directly into their home islands. This raid occurred during a run of several months that the Japanese had a string of victories against the Allies. It signaled that the United States intended to bring the war to the Japanese. It was meant to boost the morale of Americans already fighting the Japanese, the American public, and the Allies (especially the Chinese). It was also intended to undermine Japanese propaganda and public support for the military leadership of Japan.The primary difficulty that the US military had to overcome:Because all US & Chinese land bases were too far away to use the US Army B-17 bomber, then…How do you get an aircraft carrier w/ aircraft close enough to Japan without being detected by the enemy?The mission analysis determined that it was virtually impossible to get an American aircraft carrier within 250 miles of the Japanese home islands without being detected prior to launching the strike, and then completely impossible to avoid detection after the strike hits Japan. This would endanger all US ships engaged in the raid. The further away from Japan that the aircraft could be launched on the strike, then the better the chance of the raiding ships escaping Japanese air & naval reactions. There was never any intention of the raid being a suicide mission for either the ships or the aircraft pilots.The US Navy carrier aircraft currently in service did not have the round-trip range to launch from a planned safe distance of at least 400 nautical miles. The only viable solution was to use twin-engine medium-range aircraft.However that posed its own challenges:How could a twin-engine medium-range aircraft take-off w/ a bomb-load from an aircraft carrier?If US Army aircraft are used, is there enough time for the crews to be trained to take-off from a carrier?Is it possible to lighten the bombers enough to allow for enough fuel & bombs that will not prevent the aircraft from taking off the deck of the carrier?What other aircraft modifications would be necessary?Does the aircraft carrier have to be modified?Is the bomber able to return to the carrier?If not, then where do they go?While traveling to the launch point with the bombers on-board, where are the bombers stored? Would the bombers fit on the aircraft carrier's elevators that are used to wheel them from the lower hanger deck to the flight deck?If the bombers are kept on the flight deck, doesn't this prevent the aircraft carrier from using its own carrier aircraft during the trip?How could this aircraft carrier protect itself and its escorts without its own carrier fighters?
What year did the first jet plane land on an aircraft carrier?
The first jet plane landed on an aircraft carrier 6 November 1945. The plane was a US Navy Ryan FR-1 Fireball piloted by Ensign Jake C. West, and the carrier was the Casablanca-class escort carrier USS Wake Island.The FR-1 was a 'composite' aircraft with both a forward radial engine and a rear turbojet. It was intended to take off and land using the radial engine, as early jet engines were poorly suited to carrier operations. However, Ensign West's FR-1 suffered a radial engine failure on approach; however, he was able to start the turbojet and make a successful emergency landing.
How many deaths were there in the Battle of the Coral Sea?
None. This was a naval battle involving sailors and marines. The Navy lost 537 men killed in action and 6 died from wounds received in the battle. One sailor was captured by the Japanese and died as a POW and 11 were released from service due to their injuries. In addition, 19 Marines died in action and 2 died of wounds.
Are jet powered on at the time of capitulation from an aircraft carrier?
Yes, they are definitely at full power. They are often very close to stalling when they leave the cat, which is why you see them drop as they come off the deck.In fact, it's my understanding that many aircraft can't even be launched when fully loaded (fuel/ordinance) unless the carrier is moving at a high enough speed to add enough extra lift from the headwind created.
What is the name fo the 1980's movie about an aircraft carrier going back in time to Pearl harbor?
The Final Countdown. Martin Sheen and Kurt Douglas. Great movie!
How long does it take a Navy aircraft carrier to get from Hawaii to Bremerton Washington?
The transit time for a Navy aircraft carrier from Hawaii to Bremerton, Washington, typically takes about 5 to 7 days, depending on factors such as weather conditions, operational tempo, and the specific route taken. The distance is approximately 2,500 nautical miles, and carriers usually travel at speeds of around 20 knots. However, this time can vary based on specific mission requirements and other logistical considerations.
