From Ranger, the first ship designed and built as a carrier, through the World War II flattops Yorktown, Essex, Intrepid, Hornet and Franklin to Forrestal, Enterprise and the mighty Nimitz class ships, Newport News Shipbuilding carriers have formed the basis of our Navy’s power at sea.
The evolution of technology
As ships, planes and weaponry become more sophisticated, so does our technology. Today we design ships on a computer, for modular construction, with for life cycle management. As ships continue to evolve, so will the technology we develop to build them.

Tough Environments. Tougher Recorders.
The DV 6000 Series helical scan data recorders have the speed, accuracy and durability to handle today's most demanding applications. Like ASW, EW flight test and reconnaissance where high data rate transmissions need to be captured under the harshest environmental conditions and reproduced with unfailing precision.
Our hiqh bit-rate recorders meet the most stringent requirements because we designed them from the ground up to be rugged and versatile. That means using MIL-Spec ICs, vibration isolated tape transports, built-in temperature compensation, EMI/RFI shielding, and even special composition circuit boards.
What all this gives you is a choice of airborne or ground-based recorders that provide error-
free operation, from 2.5 Mbps to 240 Mbps under the most ad*e"f^
get selectable playback rates, a built-in test function, and compatibility with MIL-Std 2179B
and ANSI ID-1 tape formats.
The DV 6000 Series digital recorders. High-speed, error-free performance. On the ground, in the air, in any environment. For further information, please contact: LoralI Date' Systems, Data Recorders Division, PO Box 3041, Sarasota, Florida 34230; or call (813) 378-6747.

NAVAL AVIATION'S AIR APPARENT.
»SfflpS8
«*iisss
THE F/A-18 E/F. Unmatched in overall effectiveness and affordability, it's the best value for the 21st century. So much so, in fact, the Department of Defense has declared it the "clear choice" for the future of carrier aviation—America's vital frontline of defense.
This evolution of the Navy's only proven multirole strike fighter delivers greater range and payload over a full spectrum of missions. It also retains the F/A-18's unparalleled reliability and low-cost operation. And Navy studies have concluded that the E/F fulfills its warfighting requirements at a savings of billions of dollars over alternative aircraft.
With all this, naval aviation couldn't have a clearer choice or a more worthy heir.

The Naval Mast Mounted Sight from McDonnell Douglas. This is a system that offers both visible and infrared capabilities. And that means positive, immediate visual identification. Either day or night. It doesn't matter if the threat is a small, high speed gun boat, a surface mine, an attack aircraft or even a Silkworm missile. The NMMS identifies the threat, locks on, tracks and delivers fire control information to the ship’s weapons system.
It’s technology that comes with impressive combat credentials: over 28,000 operational hours on 40 different fighting ships during Operation Desert Storm. The Naval Mast Mounted Sight fits any size ship. It augments the radar system and provides immediate visual information. And that could be the difference between seeing the mine in time. Or just hearing it.

During Operation Desert Storm, 17 U.S. Navy LCACs delivered enough combat equipment ashore to support 20,000 U.S. Marines while amphibious forces pinned down several Iraqi army divisions. In one 24 hour period, the LCACs made 55 runs without incident despite heavy seas and prevailing 40- knot winds. Under combat conditions, the Navy/Marine Corps amphibious warfare team proved the over-the-horizon doctrine effective and demonstrated LCAC capabilities to project power ashore when and where needed.
On the way home from Desert Storm, LCACs were again put to the test, this time providing humanitarian assistance after a cyclone struck Bangladesh.
United States’ sailors, Marines a11 soldiers used small boats, LCACs ah' helicopters to ferry food, clothing, fresh water, medical supplies and shelte'r to 1.8 million survivors.

John McCormick has crafted a haunting, unforgettable novel from his own experiences as a veteran of some of World War II s bloodiest battles. McCormick follows a gallant band of young Marine Raiders fighting their way across the Pacific. Skillfully written accounts of close-quarters combat dramatically contrast the hilarious misadventures of Raiders blowing off steam between battles. The author’s understated wit and flair for powerful characters carry the reader along with the irrepressible momentum of the war to a poignant, heart rending conclusion.

Fleet support. Anywhere, anytime.
In defense systems, first eost is important, but reliability and maintain- ahility count more. As Admiral Arleigh burke once said, “If the equipment doesn’t work in battle, it doesn’t make ,llL|ch difference how much else we know, the battle is lost — and so are the People in it.”
Since 1938, FMC Naval Systems ^'vision has been the principal design a8ent and producer of guns and missile jtysterns aboard U.S. Navy surface combatants. Today, all FMC-built systems aboard commissioned vessels are ready for battle. They will never be lost for lack of access to parts, service or training.
We offer assurance that every FMC system is not only effective in battle, but can be maintained and supported at reasonable cost. And with a high degree of modularity in ^‘sign, ORDALTS are possible to upgrade and extend life cMes well into the next century.
FMC field services range from shipyard installation to operational training to overhaul and upgrades. Services are extended to ships at sea, at FMC-operated pierside facilities on both U.S. coasts, or any designated port in the world. All service is performed by a large network of technical representatives, backed by the Surface Warfare Overhaul/Repair Depot (SWORD), a U.S. Navy-designated facility located at FMC’s Naval Systems Division.
We are committed to serve the fleet anywhere, anytime in support of every weapon we build. For more information, write FMC Corporation, Naval Systems Division, 4800 East River Road, Minneapolis, MN 55421-1498.

Our letterhead reads McDonnell Douglas Missile Systems Company.
In truth, it could also read McDonnell Douglas Weapon Control Systems. As well as Mission Planning Systems, Guidance Systems, Operational Flight Software, Systems Engineering and Integration, and Depot Support. All of which makes us the world leader in total cruise missile system design and integration.
See, we don’t just manufacture cruise missiles. We design and build cruise missile systems. It’s this commitment that proved successful in improving the quality of Tomahawk and the Advanced Cruise Missile. And our commitment proves itself in every Harpoon and SLAM that rolls off our line.
And that’s the difference between just making cruise missiles ... and Total Cruise Control.
