There are some wars that are not necessary, but there are some that are needed to save the world. The idea that World War II was not needed is preposterous. Though wars like the Gulf Conflicts and the Oil wars were not needed to save anything but oil for the United States. According to accession number AD0453887 “New methods of analysis were required. These were developed during World War II and formed the beginnings of a body of knowledge…” (Page 3) Decisions made by the United States military were made with good intentions and acted according to previous instances. This can be shown in many instances. The Air Force changed their policies after World War II to adapt to the future of the Military.
The Air Force was ahead of their time. From reforming protocols, to stating that they needed to reanalyze the ways the branch of the military worked as mentioned above. The decisions made by the Air Force in the early days of aerial combat was no match for the skills needed for plane on plane combat, or Dogfights as they are called, that would cause improvement of training and policies. This shows that wars like World War II started with little to no preparation, but they knew the war was necessary. The intensive pilot training program weeded out the unfit, less than sharp and lesser qualified candidates so only the best of the best graduated from flight schools and put themselves in harm’s way. Superior tactics employed by season pilots and crew members were passed down to trainees ensuring continued success throughout the 1944-1945 conflict Two of the most influential decisions and actions of WWI were made by Col Jimmy Doolittle and Pres. Harry Truman. Col Doolittle had numerous opportunities to cancel, defer and/or curtail th...

world at that time were so closely related to the wellbeing of our own country, that it was vital the United States was prepared and willing to fight off any country that was coming to threaten our status as a democracy. World War II was an unfortunate war that seems to be so easily prevented if only there was less ignorance in dictators' minds and more cooperation and alliances between countries.
Until we can learn from our mistakes we are doomed to repeat history. Many historians feel that without knowledge of the past can prevent future conflicts and events from taking the same course of events. This statement is true for the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War occurred before in the form of the American Revolution. In order to understand the validity of that statement one must understand the French and foreign influences, the might of the British and United States, how the wars were fought, geography, and politics used in both wars. By understanding these one can come up with a working definition of revolution and the similarities between the two conflicts which span over 150 years between the two.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the United States has been launching planes off the top of aircraft carriers. At first the planes would take off simply from their own power, but as time passed and the loads of the aircraft got heavier, a more complex and powerful system was needed. The solution was a system of pulleys and weights, also known as a catapult. The design and workings behind the catapult have been changed and improved since its introduction, but the main idea still holds the same: to launch aircraft off a carrier with a limited space. Today, engineers and mechanics experts are currently working on a new system to be used in the Navy that will allow for even more efficiency of aircraft takeoff.
Electromagnetism is creating a revolution aboard U.S. Navy ships. First the navy unveiled its first gun that utilizes this energy to accelerate projectiles earlier this year. By using electromagnetic energy, the project can be accelerated to higher speeds than a bullet in a conventional gun. It can also fire such projectiles over an impressive 100 nautical miles. Such weaponry marks the first true advancement in the actual method used to accelerate project weapons since the earliest form of primitive muskets. Certainly the speed of fire and loading of guns increased incredibly over the past century and more, but they always relied on a chemical explosion to accelerate the projectile down the barrel.

During the Cold War, the United States Navy became one of America’s most important deterrence tools largely because of the aircraft carrier, a half-acre mobile platform of American sovereignty and military might. When stressing the importance of the aircraft carrier as a center of gravity of military coercion, few analysts appreciate the relatively small system that makes it a feasible launching platform for aircraft, the catapult system. This paper will explain the mechanics of the aircraft catapult system as well as its evolution from the weight and derrick system to the presently used steam system and new electromagnetic system that Gerald Ford-class aircraft carriers will use.
One proposal from General Dynamics was for a single-seater naval fighter based on the two-seat F-16B, but with the space ordinarily occupied by the rearseat being used for increased avionics or fuel. On May 2, 1975, the Navy announced that they had decided not to buy the navalized F-16, but instead they decided for an aircraft like the YF-17, which was eventually to emerge as the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet.

Aircraft carriers are the largest and most powerful warships. It has a large flight deck that enables planes to take off and land on the runway. They have radars that detect incoming planes and any missiles. The aircraft carrier is about 1000 ft. long and can carry 85 to 95 planes. They can also reach speeds of 30 knots.
