The U.S Navy and Marine Corps spend a lot of time on aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships respectively according to mission specifics.
The flight deck crew can keep a small number of fighter jets on the deck of these warships.
There’s not nearly enough space for the tins of aircraft stationed on a typical carrier or the massive cargo and equipment that are needed for the mission. The U.S Navy has over the years developed an assault support system that synchronizes the simultaneous horizontal and vertical movement of troops cargo and vehicles through the ship.
One of the earliest forms of this technology was found on the Lexington class aircraft carriers in 1927. Watch video below for more information:
