USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Web Page:

The air wing can engage enemy aircraft, ships, submarines, and land targets, or lay mines hundreds of miles from the ship. Dwight
D. Eisenhower's aircraft are used to conduct strikes, support land battles, protect the strike group or other friendly shipping, and
implement a sea or air blockade. The air wing provides a visible presence to demonstrate American power and resolve in a crisis.
The ship normally operates as the centerpiece of a carrier strike group commanded by an embarked flag officer and consisting of
four to six other ships.

Dwight D. Eisenhower's two nuclear reactors give her virtually unlimited range and endurance and a top speed in excess of 30
knots. The ship's four catapults and four arresting gear engines enable her to launch and recover aircraft rapidly and
simultaneously. The ship carries approximately three million gallons of fuel for her aircraft and escorts, and enough weapons and
stores for extended operations without replenishment. The ship also has extensive repair capabilities, including a fully equipped
Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department, a micro-miniature electronics repair shop, and numerous ship repair shops.
