U.S. Tests $100 Billion Supercarrier—Russia Left Stunned

In the vast world of international power struggles, the United States has long been a trailblazer, determined to control conflicts far from its shores. This journey into naval innovation began over a century ago, in 1910, when an audacious experiment unfolded on the deck of the American Cruiser Birmingham. An aircraft that defied gravity took off from the very deck of a warship and landed safely. It was a momentous leap in aviation history, and by 1915, the US Navy had developed a catapult to launch planes from ships, solidifying the United States' pioneering role in naval aviation.
