You get MORE STUPID as each day passes, PIGTURD!!
US aircraft carriers typically carry a tailored Air Wing of 60 to over 80 aircraft, with a standard loadout around 70–80 planes. This includes F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, F-35C Lightning IIs, EA-18G Growlers, E-2D Hawkeyes, and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters. These carriers act as floating air bases.
Carrier Air Wing Composition (Typical)
- Fighter/Attack: ~40-50 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets and F-35C Lightning IIs
- Electronic Warfare: 5 EA-18G Growlers
- Early Warning & Control: 4-5 E-2D Hawkeyes
- Helicopters: ~19 MH-60R/S Seahawks (anti-submarine, search & rescue)
- Logistics: 2 CMV-22 Osprey or C-2 Greyhound
- Combat Radius: Generally around 400–600 nautical miles for strike aircraft without refueling.
- Refueled Range: Aerial refueling from tanker aircraft (like the MQ-25 Stingray or other F/A-18s) can extend the operating radius significantly, often by 800+ miles.
- Flight Times: Most aircraft operate in cycles, with missions lasting 2–4 hours for strike fighters, and up to 8–10 hours for specialized surveillance aircraft like the E-2 Hawkeye
CARRERS don't need to be right on top of the warzone. THEY CAN FLY WELL OVER 700 Km and be OUT OF HARMS WAY OF ANYTHING THE ENEMY CAN TOSS ITS WAY. And 600 MILES is over 1000 km.
You're a **** IDIOT!!
