Introduction

The U.S. Navy is asking Congress to fund its tenth nuclear-powered aircraft carrier,
designated CVN-76, the ninth of the USS Nimitz (CVN-68) class. With a price tag
of $4.5 billion, the CVN-76 is the most expensive single weapons system in the
FY 1995 defense budget. (1) The new carrier is scheduled to join the fleet in the
year 2003, with funding for another (projected at over $6.1 billion) (2) to follow
at the turn of the century.

Can the United States afford to build more nuclear-powered aircraft carriers?
And more importantly, is nuclear propulsion needed for aircraft carrier operations
at all?
