Aircraft Carriers

Aircraft carriers are large naval vessels specifically designed to deploy and recover aircraft at sea. They serve as a mobile airbase, enabling operations that extend a nation’s reach beyond its land territory. Aircraft carriers are equipped with a flight deck, hangar spaces, and systems for launching and landing aircraft, which can include fixed-wing planes and helicopters. These ships play a crucial role in naval warfare, power projection, and maritime security, allowing for versatile military operations such as air superiority, reconnaissance, and ground support. They are often accompanied by a fleet of support ships and submarines to provide protection and logistical support. The strategic importance of aircraft carriers lies in their ability to conduct operations in international waters and serve as a deterrent by showcasing military capabilities.
