Summary

Fremantle, Western Australia (Jan. 19, 2003) USS Fletcher (DD 992) pulls pierside to begin the first "Sea Swap". Fletcher's crew just completed a six-month deployment with the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) Battle Group, will be relieved by the crew of the recently decommissioned USS Kinkaid (DD 965). Kinkaid's crew arrived in Fremantle for liberty on Jan. 15, and after the change of command between the two crews, will take Fletcher back on deployment to the Indian Ocean and Arabian Gulf. The off-going crew of Fletcher will have several days of liberty here in Fremantle before flying back to their homeport of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. U.S. Navy photo. File# 030119-X-0000X-001

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.
