Dear MEL Topic Readers,

US Navy’s first woman aircraft carrier commander: Leadership is hard

Commissioned in November 1989, USS Abraham Lincoln is one of the US Navy’s 11 aircraft carriers on active duty. The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier serves as the flagship of Carrier Strike Group 3 which belongs to the US Pacific Fleet. The 100k-ton nuclear-powered carrier is sailed by 3,200 sailors and its 90 aircraft and helicopters are run by a complement of 2,500. She is powered by two nuclear reactors and protected by four missile systems and two automatic guns.

Captain Amy Bauernschmidt is the commanding officer of this massive aircraft carrier. She served as an Executive Officer (XO), in charge of the day-to-day operation, of the ship for three years before she became in charge of the carrier in the summer of 2021. Indeed, she was the first and only woman in the select group of US Navy officers who command aircraft carriers. She served as a helicopter pilot, instructor, and squadron leader, studied and graduated from nuclear power school, and commanded an amphibious ship before commanding the aircraft carrier as XO. A brilliant career she has developed!

Enjoy reading the article and learn about this powerful navy officer on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
