Hey Mig

I think you are asking how many aircraft are on the carrier?

Seems like around 75 would be about right, including helos; but I could be wrong.

The complement of aircraft today might be different than when I was on them, since the Hornet perform dual missions. Also, I understand the

S-3 isn't used so much for anti-sub warfare as in years past.
