美国海军将研发新一代航母 (ＣＶＮＫ) ,预计第一艘ＣＶＮＸ1于 2 0 13～ 2 0 14年间服役。ＣＶＮＸ1将使用新型的核动力推进装置 ,比现役的核动力装置更为简单 ,部件的数量也少。相关的发电和配电系统的容量是“尼米兹”级的三倍。ＣＶＮＸ1将用电磁飞机弹射系统取代目前广泛 The U.S. Navy will develop a new generation of aircraft carrier (CVNK) and expect the first CVNX1 to be in service from 2013 to 2010. The CVNX1 will use a new type of nuclear propulsion unit that is much simpler and smaller than existing nuclear power plants. The associated power generation and distribution system has three times the capacity of the “Nimitz” class. CVNX1 will replace the current widespread use of electromagnetic aircraft ejection systems
