While the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines all fall under the financial purview of the Department of Defense and will not see an interruption of their pay if the partial government shutdown continues beyond Friday, the U.S. Coast Guard falls under the Department of Homeland Security.

Prior to the introduction of America’s new Ford class of carriers, America’s fleet of Nimitz class vessels held the distinction of being the largest and most technologically advanced aircraft carriers on the planet.
