Aircraft Carrier
Memorial
This memorial commemorates all the U.S. Navy's aircraft carriers
and all who have served in them and flown from their decks. Two
life-size bronze sculptures by artists T.J. Dixon and James Nelson
represent a naval aviator and a sailor and add a human dimension
to the monument.

The nine-foot polished black granite obelisk is the centerpiece to
the memorial and includes the engraved names of all 164 carriers,
from the pioneering U.S.S. Langley (CV-1) to U.S.S. Harry S. Truman
(CVN-75). The U.S.S. Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) is not yet listed. |
