Från Wikipedia:
USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74) is the seventh Nimitz-class
nuclear-powered supercarrier in the United States Navy, named for
Senator John C. Stennis of Mississippi. She was commissioned on 9
December 1995. Her home port is Norfolk, Virginia.
The mission of John C. Stennis and her air wing (CVW-9) is to
conduct sustained combat air operations while forward-deployed. The
embarked air wing consists of eight to nine squadrons. Attached
aircraft are Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet, EA-18G Growler,
MH-60R, MH-60S, and E-2C Hawkeye.
The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, submarines, and land
targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. John C.
Stennis's aircraft are used to conduct strikes, support land
battles, protect the battle group or other friendly shipping, and
implement a sea or air blockade. The air wing provides a visible
presence to demonstrate American power and resolve in a crisis. The
ship normally operates as the centerpiece of a carrier battle group
commanded by a flag officer embarked upon John C. Stennis and
consisting of four to six other ships.
John C. Stennis's two nuclear reactors give her virtually
unlimited range and endurance and a top speed in excess of 30 knots
(56 km/h, 34.5 mph). The ship's four catapults and four arresting
gear engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and
simultaneously. The ship carries approximately 3 million US gallons
(11,000 m3) of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough
weapons and stores for extended operations without replenishment.
John C. Stennis also has extensive repair capabilities, including a
fully equipped Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, a
micro-miniature electronics repair shop, and numerous ship repair
shops.
For defense, in addition to her air wing and accompanying
vessels, John C. Stennis has NATO RIM-7 Sea Sparrow and Rolling
Airframe Missile (RAM) surface-to-air missile systems, the Phalanx
Close-in Weapons System for cruise missile defense, and the
AN/SLQ-32 Electronic Warfare System.
