Godzilla (2014)

Main article: USS Saratoga.

After the awakening and subsequent release of the Male MUTO, the USS Saratoga (CVN-88) would receive the survivors including Ford Brody, Ishiro Serizawa and Vivienne Graham. The body of Joe Brody, who had passed away from his injuries before the helicopter could make it to the carrier. The Saratoga would later deploy fighter jets to Oahu to assist in finding a missing Russian Submarine. During this, Godzilla would appear, swimming underneath the ship before making landfall in Honolulu to challenge the Male MUTO, which had been the culprit behind the disappearance of the Russian submarine and was now wreaking havoc at the Airport. Later, the Saratoga would trail Godzilla heading towards the west coast while monitoring the emergence of the Female MUTO in Las Vegas. The ship would stay off the shore of California to avoid the EMP Field of the Female MUTO as Admiral Stenz and Serizawa traveled to San Francisco.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters

A few Carriers along with other Warships would be surrounding the Monarch Installation of Castle Bravo due to the fallout of King Ghidorah awakening the sleeping titans. These same carriers, or ones of the same class would later engage Rodan and King Ghidorah in Washington, D.C. with at least one being sunk.

Godzilla vs. Kong

Atleast 2 ships of this class (Including the USS Nimitz) were apart of a convoy escorting Kong to the Hollow Earth entrance in Antarctica. When Godzilla intercepted, these ships would launch F-35s to defend against the monster king. When Kong was released he would hop onbord the Nimitz by using a nearby Ticonderoga-Class Cruiser as a stepping stone. Godzilla, seeing this unfold would soon climb abord the aircraft carrier to fight Kong. Godzilla would have the upperhand before several F-35s intervined, giving Kong the opportunity he needed to knock Godzilla off the carrier. Kong would soon bail as godzilla cut the ship in half with his Atomic Breath, the debris of the carrier would sink around the two titans as they continued fighting underwater. The other carrier would presumably power down per Nathan Lind's suggestion, playing dead as to make Godzilla believe he had won the engagement.
