The USS United States was a United States Navy aircraft carrier, designated as CV-58. Launched in 1944, it was one of the largest and most advanced carriers of its time, designed to support naval aviation operations during the Cold War. However, the ship was never commissioned due to budget constraints and changing military needs. The carrier was notable for its innovative design, featuring an angled flight deck and a steam catapult system. Although it never saw active service, the USS United States influenced future aircraft carrier designs and remains a significant part of naval history.
