US Super Carrier: Operations Manual hardcover
US Super Carrier: Operations Manual: All Makes & Models: Insights into the Design, Construction and Operation of the US Navy's Super Carriers hardcover
The US Navy’s fleet of aircraft carriers are at the heart of global American military force. With nuclear-powered oceanic range, complements of nearly 5,000 crew, and typically carrying more than 70 combat aircraft, US carriers can remain on station for months, delivering aerial combat strikes on distant targets around the clock.
The Haynes Super Carrier Manual offers unrivalled insights into understanding how a modern US super carrier is operated. The US Navy has given Haynes author Chris McNab and photographer Patrick Bunce official clearance to spend time at sea on one of its ‘Nimitz’ or ‘Gerald R. Ford’ class super carriers.
During the visit Chris will conduct interviews with key personnel of all major departments, including flight-deck crew, aviators, ordnance officers, engineers, logisticians, operations crew and the captain; while Patrick will photograph life above and below decks, with a special focus on the engineering side of carrier aviation often not covered in other publications.
