Summary
PACIFIC OCEAN (Aug. 07, 2016) Aircraft assigned to Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 9 fly in formation over Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS William P. Lawrence (DDG 110), left, and Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53) during an air and sea power demonstration. The demonstration was part of a schedule of events put together for a tiger cruise, an opportunity for Sailors to invite their family and friends to experience life underway aboard a Navy ship. Providing a combat-ready force to protect collective maritime interests, John C. Stennis is on a regularly scheduled Western Pacific deployment.

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
