A Naval Fighter is a type of military aircraft designed specifically for operations from aircraft carriers and naval bases. These fighters are built to engage in air-to-air combat, provide air support for naval operations, and conduct reconnaissance missions. They are equipped with advanced avionics, weapons systems, and often have the capability to operate in various weather conditions. Naval fighters, such as the F/A-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat, are essential for maintaining air superiority at sea. They are designed to take off and land on short runways, making them suitable for carrier operations. Their versatility allows them to perform multiple roles, including ground attack and electronic warfare.
