Summary
Pacific Ocean (Feb. 06, 2007) Listening to two radios simultaneously, Chief Aviation Boatswains Mate (Fuel) Jamison Hunter carefully monitors the J-P5 fuel flowing between USS Lake Champlain (CG 57) and USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), during a fueling at sea (FAS) between the two ships. The ability of aircraft carriers to fuel members of their strike group allows for longer sustainment periods and increased war-fighting capability.

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.
