Summary

At sea aboard USS Nimitz USS Princeton (CG 59) steams alongside USS Nimitz during flight quarters as an E-2 Hawkeye readies for launch. Nimitz is undergoing Tailored Ship's Training Availability (TSTA) Operations Two and Three off the coast of California. TSTA has specific training events designed to incrementally enhance the ship's operating proficiency and gradually integrate the air wing with the ship.

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.
