US Navy (USN) Air Department Sailors watch as the ship's emergency landing barricade is raised during flightdeck drills aboard the USN Nimitz Class Aircraft Carrier USS HARRY S. TRUMAN (CVN 75). In an emergency the barricade is stretched across the carriers deck to snag distressed aircraft unable to return safely to shore. The TRUMAN is currently conducting carrier qualifications and operations in the Atlantic Ocean

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – On board the USS Salvor, a safeguard-class rescue and salvage ship, NASA and U.S. Navy personnel monitor the progress as the Orion boilerplate test vehicle is towed behind the ship during the third day of Underway Recovery Test 4A in the Pacific Ocean. At left, Navy divers in a rigid hull inflatable boat monitor practice recovery procedures. NASA, Lockheed Martin and the U.S. Navy are conducting the test to prepare for recovery of the Orion crew module on its return from a deep space mission. The underway recovery test allows the teams to demonstrate and evaluate the recovery processes, procedures, new hardware and personnel in open waters. The Ground Systems Development and Operations Program is conducting the underway recovery test. Orion is the exploration spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to destinations not yet explored by humans, including an asteroid and Mars. It will have emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during space travel and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. The first unpiloted test flight of the Orion is scheduled to launch in December 2014 atop a United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket and in 2018 on NASA’s Space Launch System rocket.

Carriers

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.
