Key Facts
- Fact 1: Central Command shows a F/A-18E Super Hornet preparing to launch from the flight deck of Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) in support of Operation Epic Fury, on Feb.
- Fact 2: 28, 2026.
- Fact 3: New aircraft carriers have a tower in the back of the ship rather than in the middle like they did in World War 2.
- Fact 4: But Trump thinks the new design doesn’t look nice, so he is ordering that the tower be moved so that the new carriers look more like they did 80 years ago.
