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.

Aircraft Carrier Memorial
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.
