That Makes Aircraft Carriers Unbeatable! #usnavy #ussgeraldrford
Have you ever wondered how aircraft carriers stay safe in hostile waters? It's not just about their size or speed. Carriers typically deploy as part of a formidable carrier strike group, which includes multiple guided missile warships equipped with the Aegis combat system. Aegis is the most advanced air and missile defense system in the world, capable of defeating every potential overhead threat, including ballistic missiles.
But that's not all. This system is linked to other offensive and defensive systems on U.S. surface combatants that can neutralize submarines, surface ships, and even floating mines. These warships, along with the carrier air wing, can quickly degrade enemy systems that threaten the strike group. And let's not forget the stealthy attack submarines that accompany the group, ready to handle undersea and surface threats.
