of the ship, and overseeing flight deck operations. Before
and after flight operations, he will likely be meeting with
department heads, participating in daily briefings with the
embarked flag officer and the CAG, and completing numerous
administrative responsibilities generated by a command
as large as the carrier. Flight operations normally consume
twelve hours per day, and with these additional responsibilities,
the captain’s day is routinely eighteen to twenty hours
long; however, numerous special evolutions typically consume
even more of the captain’s time. He is on the bridge for any
special evolution that presents increased risk to the ship. early
morning underway replenishments alongside a fleet oiler,
navigation of straits or other areas that restrict the carrier’s
ability to maneuver, and entering or leaving ports are all frequently
occurring evolutions requiring the captain’s presence
on the bridge. Because of the “around the clock” nature of
carrier operations, captains become masters at catching sleep
whenever they can find a few minutes to do so.
Commanding a carrier is one of the most demanding jobs
in the navy. on any given day, only eleven officers have these
responsibilities in the U.S. navy, and in the hundred year history
of carrier operations, only a few of many thousands of
naval aviators have served as carrier commanders. While it
is a physically demanding job, requiring broad aviation experience,
several unique qualifying duty assignments and very
specialized training, it remains one of the most challenging
and rewarding jobs in the navy.
