USS Abraham Lincoln The Legend Continues Aircraft carriers and their embarked air wings are the most capable ships at sea and form the nucleus of our carrier battle groups. An air wing is composed of fighter, attack, airborne early warning, electronic warfare, anti-submarine and logistics aircraft. These modern, long-range forces are capable of striking airborne, surface or sub-surface targets at sea, as well as targets ashore deep in an enemy's homeland. The aircraft carrier is essential to achieving and maintaining sea control. Not every mission requires a carrier -- or a carrier battle group -- but there are certain events or crises when only a carrier can do the job. --The U.S. Navy Policy Book Power projection from the sea means bombs, missiles, shells, bullets, and bayonets. When Marines go ashore, naval aviation aboard aircraft carriers and -- if required -- land-based expeditionary aircraft will provide them sustained, high-volume tactical air support ashore to extend the landward reach of our littoral operations. Rugged naval aircraft are well suited for expeditionary airfield operations. These capabilities -- the ability to generate high-intensity power projection from the decks of our carriers and expeditionary airfields -- are critical. They must continue to be suffi- ciently available and ready to contribute to joint warfare and decisive victory. Cur carrier and cruise missile firepower can also operate indepen- dently to provide quick, retaliatory strike capability short of putting forces ashore. Remaining ready indefinitely to strike, this potential force from the sea is a critical tool for diplomacy and influence. The mere arrival of naval strike forces into an area of heightened U.S. interest sends a clear signal. --Excerpt from the Navy White Paper: From The Sea And now the old ships and their men are gone, the new ships and the new men, many of them bearing the old auspicious names,,have taken up their watch on the stern and impartial sea, which offers no opportunities but to those who know how to grasp them with a ready hand and an undaunted heart. --Ioseph Conrad A star-Spangled, decorative emblem with President Abraham Lincoln 's silhouette hangs on the bow ofhis namesake ship, USS Abraham Lincoln, daring the carrier 's christening ceremony, held February 13, 1988.
