Summary
PACIFIC OCEAN (Nov. 07, 2010) Lt. j.g. Chad Haack, left, and Master Chief Electronics Technician Jim Ritch cross the halfway point of the simulated bicycle course portion of a shipboard triathlon aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76). The shipboard triathlon included a 112-mile simulated bike course, a 26.2 mile run and a 1 hour, 10 minute simulated row in place of a 2.4-mile swim. Haack was competing against Master Chief Electronics Technician Jim Ritch. The two arranged to complete in the 12-hour triathlon after a change in the ship's schedule meant they couldn't compete in the Silverman Triathlon in Henderson, Nev. Ronald Reagan is underway completing a composite training unit exercise. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Alexander Tidd) File# 101107-N-5503T-346
Aircraft carriers are warships that act as airbases for carrier-based aircraft. 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.
