What else can I help you with?
Are nuclear reactors used during war time?
In naval vessels, especially submarines and aircraft carriers
Do Aircraft Carriers carry nuclear weapons?
During the Cold War aircraft carriers had a secondary mission of nuclear warfare and its attack aircraft were nuclear-capable. However, it was policy to neither confirm nor deny the presence of nuclear weapons aboard any naval vessel. Pres. George H.W. Bush cancelled the nuclear mission for all naval forces except SSBN submarines. Today there are no nuclear weapons and no nuclear-capable aircraft on our carriers.
Do they use nuclear energy to power commercial ships?
No.It is only used to power Army based ships such as Aircraft Carriers and Submarines.
What classes of ships are in the british navy?
Aircraft carriers, frigates, destroyers, submarines (nuclear and conventional), minesweepers, landing craft, fishery protection vessels and others.
For a story what US Navy ships would carry nuclear missiles?
Mainly aircraft carriers, submarines and some frigates. Personally, I think that all classes of warships can carry nuclear weapon launchers in terms of placement. If a frigate can carry a nuclear missile launcher, a destroyer can do it as well. Of course, when a different class of warship is chosen to carry nuclear weapons, military enginners will study the best location to install the machine. In other words, there isn't a warship specially designed to carry such weapon launcher. Aircraft carriers and submarines are systematically equipped with those nuclear missile launchers due to their characteristics, specially super aircraft carriers.
What advances have been possible from the nuclear bomb?
Nuclear power plants, submarines and aircraft carriers propelled by nuclear reactors. In the future, may be all sort of vehicles could have small and very protected nuclear reactors instead of today's fuel.
What are three ways nuclear energy is used once it reaches earths surface?
Nuclear energy is used for generating electricity in nuclear power plants, powering nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, and producing medical isotopes for diagnosing and treating diseases such as cancer.
Why did The Wright Brothers make aircraft?
They made aircraft because nuclear submarines had not yet been invented.
How many Nuclear powered ships does the Navy have?
There are no nuclear powered planes, and the only nuclear powered ships and subs in the US are in the Navy so use naval ports. The UK Navy has nuclear subs and these use a base in Scotland. Russia has naval ships and subs, and also nuclear ice-breakers, but I do not have port information, though they probably use Murmansk and other Arctic ports.
What can Nuclear Power be used as?
Nuclear power can be used as a source of electricity generation in power plants. It can also be used for powering naval vessels, such as submarines and aircraft carriers, through nuclear propulsion systems. Additionally, nuclear power can be utilized in research and medical applications, such as cancer treatment and radiography.
What were the major developments of the Pacific War during World War 2?
Long Range Submarines, Fleet Aircraft Carriers, Long Range Bombers (B-29 Superfortress), Amphibious Tractors (Landing Craft), Nuclear Weapons.
What is a CVN?
CVN is the designation for nuclear powered aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.
