This week I decided to do my science discovery, on the Essex-class aircraft carrier. The Essex-class has 24 carriers built in it class was the USS Ranger (CV-4). The Essex class was used in World War II, and the U.S. Navy uses designs like the Essex class. On the newer models of the aircraft carriers, after Pearl Harbor the U.S. Navy wanted some revenge on Japan. So the U.S. Navy got it when they launched bombers of an aircraft carrier. One of the Essex class designs and bomb the Mainland of Japan.Westinghouse geared turbinesconnected to 4 shafts; 8 Babcock & Wilcoxboilers. This is what makes this carrier go, 32.7 knots, about 37 mph.
