About the Navy
Ships and Equipment
On this page you will witness some of the most powerful combatants ever put to sea. Gone are the aging platforms, obsolete weapons systems and outmoded sensors. They have been replaced with smaller, better-trained crews, high-grade weapons and computer systems, and space-based radar systems. The U.S. Navy’s Surface Warfare Fleet has never packed so much power in so few platforms.
Aircraft Carriers
Aircraft carriers play a vital role for the U.S. Navy. They are deployed worldwide in order to maintain “forward presence” on behalf of the United States.
Amphibious Ships
They’re always on call and ready at a moment’s notice to provide forward presence, crisis response, power projection, special operations, rescue evacuations, humanitarian operations, and disaster relief.
Submarines
America’s “Silent Service” has played a number of roles in a hundred years of both war and peace: attack, surveillance, commando insertion, research, and nuclear deterrent.

Cruisers & Destroyers
Gone are the aging platforms, obsolete weapons and outmoded sensors. They have been replaced with smaller crews, high-grade weapons and space-based radar systems.
