Kapal Induk

1-4 Catapult #1 - #4
5-8 Aircraft Elevator #1 - #4
9 The Barrier. That's a huge net that is used to land planes if they are not able to accomplish a conventional landing.
10 The "Junkyard". That's the area aft of the island where the tractors, fire engines and the crane (the "yellow equipment") are parked.
11 The "Hummer Hole". That's the area next to the island where the E-2C and C-2 planes are parked.
12 The "Street". That's the space between Catapult #1 and #2.
13 / 14 The "Rows". These are the areas right of Catapult#1 and left of Catapult#2 where F/A-18s are parked in rows during landing operations.
15 The "Finger". That's the small area aft of Elevator #4 where a single plane can be parked.
16 The "Ramp". That's the beginning of the flight deck at the stern of the carrier. If a plane crashes into the carrier's stern during its approach it's called a "Ramp Strike".
17 The "Bomb Farm". That's the area between the island an the rail where bombs and missiles are stored during flight operations. From there they are brought to the aircraft.
18 The "Crotch". This is the place where the angled deck ends and the port bow begins.
19 The "Meatball". See down below to read more about it.
20-23 Jet Blast Deflector#1 - #4. See down below to read more about it.
24 The "Six Pack". That's the area where the row of planes is parked along the 'foul line'.
25 The "Corral". That's the area in front of the island: from the 'foul line' on the left, all the way up to elevator#1.
26 The LSO platform. From this platform the Landing Signal Officers control the approaches of the incoming planes.

Dengan sedikit data data diatas jelaslah terbukti bagaimana sebuah kapal induk merupakan moving defence atau mungkin bisa di sebut benteng bergerak, dengan kekuatan yang masif dan juga grup yang terdiri dari kapal pendukung yang selalu siap mengamankan kapal induk kemana saja dari ancaman rudal musuh. memang sudah tentu budjet yang dikeluarkan sangatlah besar untuk mengoperasikan grup tempur ini, perlu kemapanan ekonomi sebuah negara. Selain sebagai elemen tempur, kapal induk seringkali digunakan untuk misi kemanusiaan seperti yang terjadi saat Tsunami Aceh beberapa waktu silam ( USS Abraham Lincoln ) dan HMAS Kanimbla( Australia), selain itu terkadang kapal induk digunakan sebagai elemen penggertak untuk memaksa sebuah negara untuk tunduk terhadap keinginan AS ( mungkin hal itu yang terjadi saat USS Carl Vinson memasuki wilayah Indonesia saat presiden Megawati berkuasa). terlepas dari apa fungsi nya, kapal induk merupakan sebuah mahakarya besar abad ini.
