The "Kitty Hawk" is the oldest active U.S. warship. The ships Commander Master Chief (AW) Cliff Yager said it has served its country well and continues to do so today. Despite the age of this warship it is ready, willing and able to perform duties when needed. The Kitty Hawk is in superb condition because of ongoing inspections throughout the ship. Kitty Hawk was commissioned April 29, 1961, at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. With a total building cost of $265 million, it is the second U.S. Navy ship named after the town near which Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first successful, powered aircraft Dec. 17, 1903. The Kitty Hawk has participated in combat operations in places such as Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, the Balkans, Afghanistan and most recently, the war in Iraq. The Kitty Hawk Strike Group is the largest aircraft carrier strike group in the Navy and is composed of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, the guided-missile cruisers, USS Chancellorsville (CG62) and USS Cowpens (CG63), and Destroyer Squadron 15. If you would like more info please go to: www.news.navy.mil/local/cv63 Marcy As of 2011, the oldest Commissioned U.S. warship is the U.S.S. Constitution, still in commission since 21 October 1797. However, the ship is really a floating museum, and can't really be considered "active" in anything but a ceremonial status. The above U.S.S. Kitty Hawk is no longer in service, having been decommissioned on 12 May 2009. Currently, the ship which has the longest active service record is the U.S.S. Enterprise (CVN-65), commissioned in 1958 and scheduled for decommissioning in 2013.
INDIA have 1 aircraft carrier is ins virat (ins vikrant) and secnd it could be in 2012-2015 and ins VIRAT would be retired in 2015....think so and India will have 2-3 aircraft carrier till 2025..!!
Not even close, US wins by a landslide. Russia has ONE active aircraft carrier! Compare that with our 10 (and 3 more in the works). Ships capable of firing guided missiles? US 81, Russia maybe 20 or so? Submarines is where they might beat us in numbers but there are serious doubts as to the condition of many of them.
Nope - she's still running. Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she underwent a major refueling and overhaul in 2001. The Nimitz-class carriers are designed for a 50 year lifespan, so she's still got a lot of years left in her. As an example of nuclear carrier longevity, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is currently on her final deployment before decommissioning later this year. The very first nuclear powered carrier, she was originally commissioned in 1961.

The PCU Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is currently under construction as the lead ship of a new class of Carrier, designed to replace the Nimitz-class fleet at some point as the older ships start winding down their tours of service.Her keel laid down in 2009, she is expected to be commissioned for active service in 2015.The Ford-class carriers will benefit from technology designed to lower life-cycle operating costs, as well as manpower requirements.
Yes, in 2016.
11 active and 9 reserve.
The first Nassau (CVE-16) was an escort aircraft carrier in service from 1943 to 1946. The second USS Nassau (LHA-4) is a landing helicopter Assault ship commissioned in 1979 and still active with the fleet today.

Active service: Aircraft: Antonov AN225 Mira Land Vehicle: Bagger 288 Excavator Sea Faring: USS Ronald Reagan Aircraft Carrier (Nimitz Class) Sub-Sea: Typhoon Submarine (Russian Navy) All-Time: Aircraft: Hercules Flying Boat ("The Spruce Goose") Land Vehicle: Same as above Sea Faring: Although it has sailed under many names - Seafaring Giant Sub-Sea: Debate is ongoing about whether the Typhoon Class submarines are still in service.
It can be either. A carrier pigeon is active whereas a malaria mosquito is passive.
