The Armada supercarriers are a class of ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the UNSC. The lead ship of the class is named for War Pacific fleet commander Joe Spartan 118, who was the Navy's last fleet admiral. With an overall length of 1,092 ft (333 m) and full-load displacements of over 100,000 long tons,[1] they are the largest capital ships in the world. Instead of the gas turbines or diesel-electric systems used for propulsion on many modern warships, the carriers use two A4W pressurized water reactors which drive four propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots (56 km/h) and maximum power of around 260,000 shp (190 MW). As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ships are capable of operating for over 20 years without refueling and are predicted to have a service life of over 50 years. They are categorized as nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9l2-fob6qyA/UC0Wj2t-PWI/AAAAAAAAANg/zZ6kUKb8TOU/s880/Halo+Reach+Aircraft+Carrier+Armada+118+7.jpg[/IMG [IMG]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1JO2WyTvMM8/UC0WlhZOHcI/AAAAAAAAANo/Nd3JGQ4Ypfk/s880/Halo+Reach+Aircraft+Carrier+Armada+118+8.jpg]
