E-4B Nightwatch (4 aircraft): The E-4B, also known as the "Doomsday Plane," is officially called the "National Airborne Command Center" (NAOC). It is a modified Boeing 747-200 passenger plane. The U.S. military currently has four of these aircraft.
Equipped with four engines and swept wings, this command aircraft is capable of long-range and high-altitude flight and can be refueled in the air. The E-4B is nicknamed the "doomsday plane" because it can be converted into an airborne command center in the event of a nuclear attack, a state of emergency, or the destruction of ground bases in the event of a nuclear attack on the United States. As a modern, highly survivable command, control, and communications center, it can direct the United States forces, execute emergency war orders, and assist local government operations.
The E-4B is resistant to the effects of nuclear explosions, including electromagnetic pulses (EMPs); it is equipped with a variety of advanced electronic communication devices. The Nationalist Air Force is drafting a request to replace the E-4B with a more modern platform, while the Ministry of Defense hopes to merge the Navy's E-6B Mercury and the Nationalist Air Force's E-4Bs into a common configuration of a Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) fleet.
