Summary
PACIFIC OCEAN (May. 04, 2007) Air department Sailors position an aircraft barricade during flight deck drills aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). Aircraft barricades are used to stop incoming aircraft in emergency recovery situations. Kitty Hawk is underway conducting sea trials after completing four months in ships restricted availability (SRA). Kitty Hawk is the Navy's only overseas-based aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. In the United States Navy, these consist of ships commissioned with hull classification symbols CV (aircraft carrier), CVA (attack aircraft carrier), CVB (large aircraft carrier), CVL (light aircraft carrier), CVN (aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion) and CVAN (attack aircraft carrier (nuclear propulsion). The first aircraft carrier commissioned into the United States Navy was USS Langley (CV-1) on 20 March 1922.
