(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) Naval aviation was born in the United States when 
Eugene Ely launched from the deck of a United States Navy 
ship on November 14, 1910, in a Curtiss Model D.
H. R. 2810—321 
(2) In 1915, Cpt. Henry C. Mustin made the first catapult 
launch aboard a ship underway in a Curtiss Model AB-2, begin-
ning a century of technological advancements that have led 
to today’s Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System. 
(3) In 1924, Lt. Dixie Kiefer made the first night catapult 
launch in a Vought UO-1 in San Diego harbor. 
(4) The first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Enter-
prise (CVN 65), was commissioned in 1961, ushering in a 
new era of the world’s most dominant and capable warships. 
(5) In 2013, aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 
73) provided humanitarian assistance, medical supplies, food, 
and water to the victims in the Republic of the Philippines 
of Super Typhoon Haiyan, once again demonstrating the 
versatility of aircraft carriers for combat, diplomatic, and 
humanitarian operations. 
(6) In 2017, the first of the next generation of aircraft 
carriers, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was commissioned, 
marking a continuation of the innovative naval aviation spirit, 
technological advancement, and war fighting capabilities of air-
craft carriers. 
(7) For over 70 years, aircraft carriers have been employed 
in every major and many smaller conflicts, including World 
War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Lebanon, Libya, Operation 
Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the fight against ter-
rorism. 
(8) The United States Navy’s aircraft carriers are a corner-
stone of the Nation’s ability to project its power and strength. 
(9) When aircraft carriers sail the globe they are a state-
ment of national purpose and a symbol of the Nation’s indus-
trial strength, competitive edge, and economic prosperity. 
(10) Aircraft carriers are 4.5 acres of sovereign United 
States territory enabling the Nation to reduce its dependency 
on other nations while it pursues its national security interests. 
(11) Aircraft carriers enable the United States Armed 
Forces to carry out operations from international waters, often 
obviating the need to obtain fly-over rights and land-base rights 
from other nations. 
(12) Aircraft carriers are modern, mobile United States 
military bases complete with airfield, hospital, and communica-
tions systems from which the United States can strike at its 
enemies. 
(13) Over 90 percent of world trade is moved by sea, 
including much of the world’s gas and oil supply, and aircraft 
carriers patrol vital regions of the world to keep shipping 
lanes open and protect the interests of the United States and 
its allies. 
(14) There are more than 2,450 companies in 48 States 
and over 364 congressional districts, and more than 13,100 
shipbuilders, who proudly contribute to the construction and 
maintenance of these complex and technologically advanced 
ships. 
(15) Thousands of members of the United States Armed 
Forces have served the Nation aboard aircraft carriers in war, 
peace, and times of crisis. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that— 
(1) United States aircraft carriers are premier sea-based 
power projection platforms and have served the Nation’s
H. R. 2810—322 
interests in times of war and peace, adapting to the immediate 
and ever-changing nature of the world for over 90 years; and 
(2) aircraft carrier contributions and heritage should be 
celebrated. 
SEC. 1086. SENSE OF CONGRESS RECOGNIZING THE UNITED STATES 
NAVY SEABEES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) On March 5, 1942, Navy Construction Force personnel, 
known as the ‘‘Seabees’’, were officially established by the Navy 
Department. 
(2) The purpose of the Navy Seabees is to build, maintain, 
and support base infrastructure in remote locations for the 
Navy and Marine Corps, while simultaneously being capable 
of engaging in combat operations. 
(3) The Navy Seabees dual-role is exemplified by the Seabee 
motto Construimus, Batuimus: We Build, We Fight. 
(4) Throughout their history, the Navy Seabees have 
answered the call of duty to protect the United States and 
its democratic values both in times of war and peace. 
(5) The Navy Seabees support United States national secu-
rity at Navy fleet and combatant commands worldwide, through 
the construction, both on land and underwater, of bases, air-
fields, roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. 
(6) The Navy Seabees and their families have demonstrated 
unmatched courage and dedication to sacrifice for the United 
States, from service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam 
to the recent conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. 
(7) The Navy Seabees exhibit honor, personal courage, and 
commitment as they sacrifice their personal comfort to keep 
the United States safe from threats. 
(8) The Navy Seabees continue to display strength, profes-
sionalism, and bravery in the all-volunteer force. 
(b) SENSE
OF CONGRESS.—Congress recognizes the United 
States Navy Seabees and the Navy personnel who comprise the 
construction force for the Navy and the Marine Corps as critical 
elements 
in 
deterring 
conflict, 
overcoming 
aggression, 
and 
rebuilding democratic institutions.
