Our take on Aircraft Carrier Survival
The naval-war framing gives prominence to combat and survival, but the core activity also involves staffing stations, setting officer priorities, gathering reconnaissance, selecting routes, and deciding which emergencies receive attention first.
What is Aircraft Carrier Survival?
Command an aircraft carrier during the Pacific Theater of World War II.
Assign crew members to the ship’s stations, set officer priorities, and select equipment, aircraft, and escorts for each mission. Choose whether to engage enemies, evade them, or take a different route. During attacks, damage control teams respond to fires, torpedo strikes, flooding, bombardment, airstrikes, and suicide attacks, but cannot address every threat simultaneously. Use ship maneuvers, aircraft, and anti-aircraft turrets in combat. Recon missions provide intelligence for preparing pilots and aircraft, targeting enemy bases and fleets, identifying opponents, and arranging attack directions, target order, and maneuvers.
