And the 5000 men and women on board have to perform this task to perfection. Surrounded by roaring jet engines and dangerous weapons one mistake could mean disaster. From the Flight Deck to the cockpit to the Captain's chair, we're taking a behind-the-scenes look at the American military's ultimate weapon the Supercarrier: USS Ronald Reagan.
