¶ Intro
Aircraft carriers, converted hulls, and seaplane carriers are naval vessels designed to launch, recover, and support aircraft operations at sea. These ships enable navies to project air power beyond the range of land-based airfields, allowing effective control of local and regional airspace. They are usually fitted with a large deck, hangars and accommodation for maintenance, fuel and pilots.
They play a strategic role in the protection of fleets, deployment of aircrafts worldwide and in a fast manner.
Historically, the first aircraft carriers were built shortly after the First World War, with their predecessors being seaplane carriers or tenders, built for reconnaissance.
