The world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise is the longest carrier in the Navy at 1,123 feet. It is also the tallest (250 feet) and fastest (30+ nautical miles per hour) carrier in the fleet. Originally built with a distinctive square island supporting phased-array radars and a complex EW system. Aviation facilities include four deck edge lifts, two forward and one each side abaft the island. There are four 295 foot C-13 Mod 1 catapults. Hangars cover 216,000 sq. ft with 25-ft deck head. The USS Enterprise carries 8,500 tons of aviation fuel (12 days flight operations). 

Built to a modified Forrestal class design, Enterprise was the world’s second nuclear-powered warship (the cruiser Long Beach (CGN-9) was completed a few months earlier). This new propulsive machinery would give the USS Enterprise  a maximum speed of 35 knots and an estimated endurance of five years; by eliminating the need for oil storage and stacks it would provide twice the aviation fuel capacity of her largest predecessors and permit the installation, on the sides of the island structure, of fixed radar antennae of advanced design.

When first completed the island of the Enterprise had a very unique shaped structure consisting of a dome shaped top resting on a box, supporting SPS-32 and 33 radars, plus many ECM antennas, which were located on all four sides and top dome of the ship. These were all removed during a 1982 retrofit, and the island was completely altered to resemble the island of Kitty Hawk class carriers. 

Enterprise is expected to remain in service until 2013 when it will be replaced by planned CVN-78.  The Enterprise is anticipated to be 52 years old when it is retired.

USS Nimitz is the first ship in the NIMITZ class of aircraft carriers.

The Nimitz Class aircraft carriers are the largest warships ever built. With over 6,000 personnel (crew and aircrew), the carrier has a displacement of 102,000 tons, and a flight deck length of 332.9 meters. All seven nuclear-powered Nimitz class carriers have been built by Newport News Shipbuilding (now Northrop Grumman Ship Systems), based in Virginia. 

The tenth and last Nimitz Class, CVN 77, will be built by Northrop Grumman Ship Systems and will enter service in 2008. This will be the first transition ship to a new class of carriers (CVNX) (to start construction in 2007) and will incorporate new technologies including a new multi-function radar system, volume search radar and open architecture information network, and a significantly reduced crew requirement.

The USS Ronald Reagan is urrently under construction at Northrop Grumman Newport News (formerly Newport News Shipbuilding), was christened on March 4, 2001, and launched six days later.  At the time of the christening, Reagan was about 60 percent complete.   The ship will undergo another two years of final construction, with delivery to the Navy set for the year 2003.

The Russian Heavy Missile Cruise Ship, Project 1144.2 Kirov Class was built by the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg. The Kirov Class provides the capability to engage large surface ships and to defend the fleet against air and submarine attack. Four cruisers were built but as of 2001 only Admiral Nakhimov (commissioned in 1988) and Pyotr Velikhiy (commissioned in 1995) remain active.

The ship's propulsion system is based on a combination of nuclear power and steam turbine, with four nuclear reactors and two auxiliary boilers. The four steam turbines deliver 28,000 horsepower. Two shafts drive two 5-bladed fixed pitch propellers. The propulsion system provides a full speed of 31 knots."

Armaments:
Granit (Nato designation SS-N-19 Shipwreck) long range anti-ship missile system with 20 missiles, S-300F Air Defence Missile Complex with 12 launchers and 96 vertical launch air defence missiles, 130 mm AK-130 multipurpose twin-barrel gun, 10 torpedo tubes for 20 Vodopad-NK anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes, two anti-submarine and anti-torpedo rocket systems (the Udav-1 with 40 anti-submarine rockets and the RBU-1000), two RBU-1000 six-tube launcher, with 102 rockets, and three Kamov Ka-27PL or Ka-25RT helicopters.

Originally designed as Project 1153 - a new nuclear powered full -deck aircraft carrier - construction  was suspended in 1983 when 50% completed and put aside for 5 years when when it was decided the hull was too small to launch aircraft and the catapult system designed for the ship failed. The hull was then used for the Ural Project #1941 "Titan" (Nato Codename "Kapusta" ). Officially designated 'Sudno Suyazyy' (Communications Vessel).  She has since been laid up and is in used as a powerplant on the Pacific coast.

The FS Charles De Gaulle (R91) is the largest and only nuclear powered aircraft carrier in Europe.  It is also the only aircraft carrier with conventional take off and landing capabilities.  The Charles De Gaulle is perhaps the ugliest nuclear powered ship ever built, although a face lift before entering service makes it a slightly less obnoxious eyesore.

Originally named the Richelieu, the ship was renamed Charles De Gaulle during construction.  The Charles De Gaulle took more than 12 years to complete and enter service, largely due to engineering difficulties and budgetary constraints.  The ship suffered difficulties during its sea trials including a propulsion failure and abnormal vibration in the main engines.  In 1998, engineering spaces were retrofitting to reduce excessive radiation doses during normal operation.

The French Government initially ordered a second nuclear aircraft carrier (also named the Richelieu) which was later canceled.  The French Navy attempted to have the programme revived but the Richelieu remains unbuilt.
