NAVY Productions | How US Navy Operates in Massive Aircraft Carrier Hangar Bay @navyproductions | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Aircraft carriers make up a critical part of the US Navy. Currently, there are 11 active aircraft carriers in service and these ships carry an average of 90 aircraft onboard. Although most of these fighter jets are battle ready and kept on the flight deck, others are kept in the hanger bay beneath the deck. There are different regions aboard an aircraft carrier.
Some galleys ensure 5,000 sailors are properly fed. The cooking experts aboard are constantly working round the clock to ensure enlisted sailors and naval officers enjoy good meals – from turkey to soups to sausages to cakes.
There is also the flight deck which sees the takeoff and landing of the aircraft. The flight deck of an aircraft carrier is often referred to as one of the busiest and most exhilarating workspaces on the planet. It is also referred to as one of the most dangerous, because of its limited space and the sensitive operations that happen on it. And there is the hangar bay.
The hangar bay is a storage structure for a carrier’s fighter jets. Located two floors beneath the flight deck, the hangar bay extends a length that is two-thirds the ship’s length. The facility, somewhat resembling a garage, is as high as three decks. Not only is the hangar bay great for holding aircraft, but it also stores important aircraft equipment like spare parts, fuel tanks, and so on. #aircraftcarrier #usnavy #sailors
