They don't all fit in 3 crowded hangars.

Space, and because if you need to scramble, you don't want to have to go after them one or two at a time with the lift.

Gotcha, I always figured they had enough hanger space for the entire airwing on the hanger deck. I guess in some cases they want as many jets on the carrier as they can get.

Hangar 1 is 1/2 SE gear and usually a COD. Hangar 2 mostly has downed birds and a couple ready to go. Hangar 3 has ready birds and 1/2 is supply stuff.

I would imagine to have them "ready". Imagine how long it takes to lift them out of the hangars and get them prepped. Atleast thats what I think. Maybe theres other reasons.

I assume those are alert aircraft.

I took a tour of an Aircraft Carrier when I was at a bowl game one time in San Diego. I traded a TShirt with one of the guys on the boat and he took me everywhere. We spent about three hour meandering around. The only place we didn't go was around the nuclear plant, but we basically went end to end on that boat.
What surprised me was how freaking packed in the planes are in the hangars. That's gotta be the biggest, most expensive game of "Tiles" I've ever seen. I have no idea how they get planes out of the hold, but it looked like it was structured to be able to get a few of each plane easily, then move the rest around so they could get more of the ones they needed. It was awesome. The other amazing thing, how freaking bad the sleeping quarters smelled. Wow. imagine about 6 guys, in a closet, all playing cards, and half of them smoking. holy moses. I don't think they were supposed to be smoking, boat was in port an on skeleton crew, and they seemed awful surprised when we poked our head in there. |

The British and Japanese used to carry all their planes in the hanger, but the American system of flight-deck parking proved superior in WWII. By the end of the war the British had adopted our system. Deck parking generally doubles the amount of planes that can be carried.

One of the requirements for the F-35C was that the engine had to be able to be swapped from within the jet's footprint. I can't imagine that's a new requirement. |

Those aren't aircraft. They're blown up balloons that look like aircraft. It keeps people guessing.
BTW, the carriers are also balloons. They're towed by subs.

Wow, I'm sure those chains are strong, but that Seahawk may be better off moved towards the rear of the boat. At that point I'm sure it was too late to try and move it though. |

"The distinction between a ship and a boat varies depending on regional definitions, but as a general rule, a boat can fit onto a ship. A ship, in other words, is a very large ocean-going vessel, while a boat tends to be much smaller. Additionally, a ship usually is defined as having a displacement larger than 500 tons." http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-the-difference-between-a-ship-and-a-boat.htm |
