Some people find it interesting on understanding what kind of technology our U.S. military offers. So, I decided to give some basic information about some of Navy's capabilities. The first is the most well known when you ask anything about what they know about the Navy, Aircraft Carriers. They continue to be the centerpiece of the forces necessary for forward presence. Aircraft carriers support and operate aircraft that engage in attacks on airborne, afloat and ashore targets that threaten free use fo the sea, and engage in sustained power projection operations in support of U.S. and coalition ground forces. The CVN (nuclear carrier) also engage in maritime security operations to interdict threats to merchant shipping and prevent the use of the seas as a highway for terrorist traffic.
Amphibioius Assault ships or LHA/LHD, have capabilities of vertical/short take off and landing of aircrafts. They contain a well deck to support use of landing craft air cushioned which is basically hover crafts used by the marines. There most basic role is the support of the USMC from movements of ship to shore operations through boat and helicopter.
SSBN: ballistic missile submarines. the subs main mission is strategic deterrence by providing the U.S. with its most survivable and enduring nuclear strike capabilities. They serve as an undetectable launch platform for intercontinental missiles. They are designed specifically for stealth and the precision delivery of nuclear warheads. Some submarines also have the capability of holding and what is called "locking out" Navy SEALS. They are also designed for extended deterrent patrols. To increase the amount of time required for replenishment and maintenance, they have three large diameter logistics hatches that allow Sailors to rapidly transfer supplies on and off the sub.
