Atlantic Ocean (Sep. 16, 2005) A memorial for the late Chief Damage Controlman Harry Drake sits next to newly pinned chief petty officers (CPO), who stand in formation, after their pinning ceremony in the hangar bay aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Truman had 47 Sailors selected for CPO. Chiefs are the leaders of the enlisted Sailor ranks and reaching that rank is considered an honor. The honor will be bestowed upon new chiefs in ceremonies on ships and at bases all over the world. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer's Mate Airman Ricardo Reyes File# 050916-N-2984R-010

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.
