Project history: With these ships the US Navy returned to building nuclear carriers of Enterprise size. They incorporate a new two-reactor power plant, developed from a project for a single reactor destroyer/frigate plant, and so have even more internal space than the huge Enterprise, in addition they incorporate the more economical (in terms of space) torpedo protection system of the Kennedy. Their general arrangement and electronic suit also duplicate those of Kennedy, and they were armed with 3 Sea Sparrow launchers for self-defence. Theodore Roosevelt sub-class are considerably improved, particularly in self-defence (Kevlar over vitals, and better hull protection). A reduction in aviation ordnance (to 1954 tons) presumably reflects increased volume devoted to protection. Otherwise these ships are similar to the CVN68 class, with much the same hull envelope.

Ship protection: Armour protection consists of 3 protected decks (flight, hangar and lower decks) and vertical armour (side armour and longitudinal bulkheads). Also there is a box-shaped protection of magazines and vital zones. Underwater protection includes 5 longitudinal bulkheads (4th bulkhead is 76mm-thick). Bottom is also protected. Also vital spaces have 63mm Kevlar protection.
