United States Armed Forces ) are currently the most powerful and strongest troops in the world, with an active staff of approximately 1.36 million people and a budget of $ 686 billion in 2018. One of their most important components is the United States Navy (US Navy). In 2018, about 325,000 soldiers and about 179,000 civilian employees served in it. The pilots of carrier-based aircraft are considered to be its elite. It is worth recalling that the US Navy currently has 10 Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft carriers and one - Gerald Ford class. Currently, the basic US Navy multi-role fighters are the F / A-18 Hornet and F / A-18 E / F Super Hornet. Ultimately, however, these machines are to be replaced by the F-35 Lightning II C version. The US Navy also has a large number of helicopters - mainly from the MH-60 family. It is worth remembering that each of the US Navy pilots is a naval officer, and his training - especially a fighter pilot - is very long, expensive and demanding. This training is divided into several stages and includes, among others: initial flight training conducted on the T-6B Texan II aircraft and advanced flight training conducted on the T-45C Goshawk jet.
