North American's USAF F-100 Super Sabre (jet) holds the record for the longest sustained "in combat" warplane; 1961 to 1971, of which 242 were lost to all causes during the Vietnam War.

The current generation USS Nimitz supercarriers (the largest ever built) require a crew of about 3200 sailors, and an aircrew of about 2500. The next-generation Ford-class supercarriers reduce this number through automation by almost 20%, to roughly 4700 crew total. For comparison, the prototypical WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Essex class, had a total crew of 2600.
The USS Nimitz (CVN-68), a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, can carry approximately 60 aircraft. This typically includes a mix of fixed-wing jets, such as the F/A-18 Hornet and the E-2 Hawkeye, as well as helicopters like the MH-60 Seahawk. The exact number may vary based on the specific mission and aircraft configurations.
The last navy ship sunk in World War II was the Japanese battleship Yamato. It was sunk on April 7, 1945, during Operation Ten-Go, a mission aimed at defending the Japanese home islands against the approaching Allied forces. The Yamato was heavily attacked by American aircraft and ultimately sank in the East China Sea, marking a significant moment in naval warfare history.
The longest moon visit was during NASA's Apollo 17 mission in 1972, with astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spending over three days on the lunar surface. They conducted various experiments and exploration activities, making it the longest and final crewed mission to the moon.

A "fighter" is a type of aircraft designed for a specific mission, i.e., fighting other aircraft. Early fighter aircraft were propeller driven, but since the 1960s, almost all fighter aircraft are powered by jet engines. The mission is the same, just the power plants have changed.
