Aircraft, vessels and weapons systems: the hardware to handle the job Navy Equipment

America’s Navy is always on call and ready at a moment’s notice to provide a forward presence anywhere across the globe. This wouldn’t be possible without the awe-inspiring ships and equipment, cutting-edge technology and advanced weaponry Sailors and Officers use on a daily basis.

From Navy ships to aircraft, specialty vessels and weapons, Navy personnel work with some of the most powerful machines ever put to sea. America’s Navy not only has some of the world’s most technologically advanced aircraft, ships and submarines, but also some of the highest-grade weapon systems on the planet.

They specialize in crisis response, power projection, special operations, evacuations and humanitarian operations. All in order to protect and defend America and make the world a safer place.

With a mission to protect and serve those at sea and on the ground, Navy aircraft are flown and maintained by flight crews who understand the value of precision. read on Aircraft

Vessels

Vessels

They land on beaches, transporting troops and equipment for combat. They glide hundreds of feet below the water’s surface, providing security to a hospital ship on a humanitarian mission. They include nuclear-powered Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, the largest warships in the world; 49-foot Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles; Arleigh-Burke class-guided missile destroyers; and high-speed landing craft. They are the vessels of America’s Navy. read on Vessels

Weapon Systems

Weapon Systems

They’re liquid-propelled, laser-guided and sophisticated enough to use satellite data to reprogram themselves in-flight. The weapon systems in America’s Navy use some of the most sophisticated missiles and torpedoes on the planet. Whether fired from the surface or under the water, they increase the Navy’s ability to carry out missions safely and effectively. read on Weapon Systems
