USS Barack Obama



"USS Barack Obama (CVN08) is to honor the former US president Barack Obama, America's very first African-American to be their own president. Still, since Barack Obama's 8-year presidential term had been ended with Trump being the new one that they have today, it seems this aircraft carrier can help us fear the Coalition."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Release the Obama

The USS Barack Obama (CVN-08), frequently referred to simply as "The Obama", is an aircraft carrier of unknown class operating in the United States Navy, featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops II. It is the home base for protagonists David "Section" Mason and the rest of his SEAL team. It prominently appears in the missionOdysseus, and, depending on the player's actions, this aircraft carrier may be destroyed or saved.

The U.S.S. Barack Obama carrier battle group is under attack byRaul Menendez's drone fleet, and Section's Navy Seal team onU.S.S. Barack Obama's flight deck is under heavy fire by his Mercs forces during Odysseus. Also during the mission, Tommy Briggs is wounded/killed by Menendez or knocked out with a pistol by Javier Salazar. If Admiral Briggs is alive, he will turn on theU.S.S. Barack Obama's air defense system to hold Menendez's drone fleet back until Chinese military send their own drone fleet (if all Strike Force missions are complete and Tian Zhao is dead) and shoot down last wave of Menendez's drones. If Admiral Briggs is dead, he will not turn on the U.S.S. Barack Obama's air defense system and the U.S.S Barack Obama is destroyed by an enemy drone's free fall bomb. In this mission, Chloe Lynch (if she's alive) can be knocked out by Salazar but survive and can disable Menendez's virus, or be killed by Salazar or DeFalco (if he's alive).

It is named after the 44th U.S President, Barack Obama.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it would be used by the Grand Alliance that it would deployed to against Coalition of the Red Star during the Water Balloon War.
