Tier X Aircraft Carrier Special

U.S.A.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

From the deck of USS Franklin D. Roosevelt, the second Midway-class aircraft carrier, a significant milestone was achieved by the U.S. Navy. It marked the first series of takeoffs and landings conducted by a jet aircraft from an aircraft carrier. Upon entering service, the ship initially focused on exercises and diplomatic missions during her early years. Later, she served in the Mediterranean Sea and Southeast Asia.
