Contents

[edit] United States Navy

The United States Navy currently has 232 ships in active service.

[edit] Three-masted Frigate

[edit] Aircraft Carriers

The USN has 11 active duty aircraft carriers, all supercarriers: One each of the Kitty Hawk and Enterprise classes, and nine of the Nimitz class. It formerly retained two carriers of the Forrestal class and one of the Kitty Hawk class in reserve (all three were stricken for disposal between 2003 and 2005, with USS Ranger (CV-61) placed on donation hold), and one carrier of the Nimitz class is under construction (USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77)). The USN's aircraft carriers are its capital ships, and the largest extant example of naval shipbuilding in the world.

[edit] Destroyers

Destroyers are the only major surface combatants currently being constructed for the US Navy. All presently active USN destroyers (49) are of the Arleigh Burke class.

USS McFaul (DDG-74)

[edit] Frigates

All currently active US Navy frigates (21) are of the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate. The new Freedom and Independence class Littoral Combat Ships are being built to eventually replace the frigates in fleet service. The LCS' tonnage is considerably lighter than the Perry class ships and in fact they have a great deal in common with the torpedo boat destroyers that modern fleet destroyers evolved from.
