Standard loadout for a Nimitz class carrier (largest warship on Earth) is 75 aircraft, during wartime these limits can be pushed to 100 by adding additional helicopters to the air wing on the top deck. This however leaves at least 20 aircraft permanently on the top deck near the bow making them easy targets for enemies.

Air Force brainlet here, I'm curious, how do they protect the Aircraft during bad weather? It's gotta be much more drastic compared to what's done on a flight line, right? this is a legit question.

They chain all the aircraft down to the deck, but in high speed maneuvers all aircraft are usually kept safely below deck.

Huh. I was guessing there was more to it than just that, though maybe I'm overestimating how bad it'd get out there, come to think they probably just avoid really bad weather in the first place, right? Either way, cool fact to know I guess. Thanks anon.
