Background of Naval Aviation
1910-first pilot to complete a takeoff
from a ship.
1911-first pilot to land on a ship.
3
The Navy tried four distinct approaches to integrating aircraft with the fleet: aircraft carriers; flying boats; lighter-than-air craft; pontoon aircraft that operated from non-carrier ships.3

Commissioned on March 20, 1922, in Norfolk,
Virginia, the first aircraft carrier was the USS
Langley (CV 1), a converted collier (coal
carrier) known as the USS Jupiter. It was
followed in 1927 by converted battle cruisers
USS Lexington (CV 2) and USS Saratoga (CV 3).

Lighter-than-air craft were usedfor scouting missions. Today,the Navy uses helicopters to performscouting, rescue, and patrol missions.
Aircraft

18 Fixed-Wing Rotary-Wing
Modern naval aircraft are divided into
two general categories:
18
19
Fixed-Wing Aircraft Missions
• Strikes against an enemy
• Protects the fleet from enemy aircraft
and surface ships
• Performs undersea warfare,
photography, and escort
• Performs reconnaissance and early
warning19
20
• Amphibious operations
• Vertical replenishment
Additional Missions
• Search and rescue
• Minesweeping
• Undersea warfare
• Special warfare
Rotary-Wing Aircraft Missions

All aircraft have tri-
service designations.
A given aircraft bears
the same alphanumeric
identification symbol
regardless of whether
the Navy, Army, or Air
Force uses the craft.
Aircraft Model
Designations
21
22
Each basic designator consists of a letter and a number. The letter specifies the basic mission of the aircraft as follows:
• O-Observation
• P-Patrol
• R-Reconnaissance
• S-Antisubmarine
• T-Trainer
• U-Utility
• V-VTOL or STOL
• X-Research
• A-Attack
• B-Bomber
• C-Cargo/transport
• E-Special electronic
installation
• F-Fighter
• H-Helicopter
• K-Tanker
23
The number (which may consist of one,
two, or three digits) indicates the design
number of the type of aircraft.
For example, the designator (F-14) shows
an aircraft to be the fourteenth fighter
design.23
24
If a particular design is modified, another letter (A,B,C) follows the design number; this letter identifies the number of the modification. For example, the B in S-3Btells us that the original design of this antisubmarine plane has been modified.
S-3B
25
When the original mission of an aircraft changes, a mission-modification letter precedes the basic mission symbol.
These are as follows:
• A-Attack
• C-Cargo/transport
• D-Director (for Control
of drones)
• E-Special electronic
installation
• H-Search and rescue
• K-Tanker
• L-Cold weather
• M-Missile carrier
• Q-Drone
• R-Reconnaissance
• S-Antisubmarine
• T-Trainer
• U-Utility
• V-Staff
• W-Weather
26
An unmanned aircraft or ship
guided by remote control
Drone
Modification
An alteration or adjustment,
as of an aircraft or other
vehicle
27
EA-6BA-6
For example, when the Navy modifies the
attack aircraft A-6 Intruder, to be an
electronic-warfare aircraft, it becomes an
EA-6.
Some modification letters are the same
as the basic mission letters.
28
Other letters may appear before a basic mission symbol or mission-modification letter. They are ―special-use‖ symbols that indicate the special status of an aircraft.
Currently, six special-use symbols are:
• G-Permanently grounded (ground training)
• J-Special test, temporary
• N-Special test, permanent
• X-Experimental stage of development
• Y-Prototype (for design testing)
• Z-Early stages of planning or development

Naval Aircraft and Missions
Navy aircraft of the same type are
organized into squadrons for the
purpose of training, maintenance,
and administration.
33
34
Aircraft of various squadrons combine
and deploy as operational air groups
aboard ships. The battle group’s
mission determines the number and
types of squadrons.

Fighter/Attack Aircraft
The single-seat F/A-18 Hornet is the
nation’s primary carrier-launched strike
fighter. It has the ability to drop bombs,
but is also designed as a fighter plane.37
38
The F/A-18 Hornet replaced the F-14
Tomcat, which was the Navy’s primary
air-to-air superiority fighter for 36
years. 38
F/A-18 Hornet

41
The F/A-18 Hornet proved itself in
Desert Storm, taking hits, recovering,
undergoing repairs, and flying the next day.
4242
The E/F Super Hornet models of the F-18s
joined the fleet in 1995. The E is a single
seater, the F a two-seater. They are capable
of speeds over Mach 1.8, flying at altitudes
up to 50,000 feet and operating at a range
of over 1,300 miles.

92
VTOL
Vertical takeoff and landing:
refers to either the capability
or the aircraft that has it
93
RotorAn assembly of rotating
horizontal airfoils (wings),
such as on a helicopter
Nacelle
A separate streamlined
enclosure on an aircraft for
sheltering the crew or cargo
or housing an engine
94
Once airborne, nacelles rotate 90 degrees
and the Osprey becomes a high-speed, fuel
efficient turboprop. Wings rotate for
storage.
• Ceiling 25,000 feet
• Speed 272+ knots 94
95
First flight occurred in March 1989 as the world’s first production tiltrotor aircraft. Planned purchases were:
Marine Corps—360 Navy—48Air Force—5095
96
The Osprey pushes
the limits of VTOL,
causing some to
question its safety
record.
However, the Marine Corps is
committed to the V-22 Osprey to
provide its heavy lifting capability for
years to come.

Conclusion
Naval Aviation began with the first years
of flight and the first carriers in the 1920’s.
However, naval air power didn’t come into
Its own until World War II.99

USS Harry S. Truman
(CVN 75)
The challenge is to integrate aircraft with
the fleet. Today the Navy relies on nuclear
carriers, jet aircraft, helicopters, and large
