Aircraft carriers

"*The center of any modern blue-water navy, aircraft carriers form a necessary component of a world power's force projection capabilities.*"

Aircraft carriers are naval ships that are essentially seagoing airbases, equipped with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft.

## Description

Strictly speaking floating airfields, these versatile ships are capable of launching aircraft to attack enemy targets from safe distances, only threatened by enemy carriers, long-rang anti-ships missiles, submarine-launched weapons, (supersonic and hypersonic) cruise missiles, and 'carrier-killer' munitions.
