An aircraft carrier has advantages within the Navy because it does not require permission for landing of aircraft or over flight rights, as well as the Navy does not need to build bases in varying countries that it would cause disputes because the aircraft carrier itself is a base (“The Carriers,” n.d.). Aircraft carriers are vitally important when it comes to aircraft because they provide a base for the aircraft, a refueling station, and numerous other attributes (Holloway, 2007). Aircraft carriers impact the Navy because they grant the Navy a greater worldwide force through another form of striking power: the aircraft aboard the aircraft carrier (Hobbs, 2009; Underwood, 2015). Heavy aircraft that contain a great payload or aircraft in general are able to deploy off of aircraft carriers with the assistance of the hydraulic catapult. The ability to launch aircraft off of an aircraft carrier strengthens the Navy’s maritime supremacy because of the combat readiness (Underwood, 2015). As aircraft carriers are able to launch heavier, more powerful aircraft it results in a much greater thrust that affects the entire flight deck. Because of the powerful thrust aircraft produce jet blast deflectors are used in order to allow for the aircraft to be positioned closer to one another as well as the departing aircraft, which allows for a rapid interval of the aircraft (Hobbs, 2009; Wilson,
