The new carrier, the first of which will be laid down next year, will feature an integrated warfare system, new arrester gear and a new nuclear power plant which, with new electrical generation and distribution systems, will see a 250 to 300% increase in the amount of electrical power generated compared with the Nimitz class. On the other hand, the Navy continues to need a shorter-range, carrier-based Ucav with design emphasis on stealth and long endurance, a drone that will be much lighter than the Air Force design due to catapult and arrester gear restrictions. Although these will be Stovl carriers with a 'ski jump', provision will be made for the installation of conventional or electromagnetic catapults and arrester gear later in the ships lives. |
