The Type 002 aircraft carrier is a second generation Chinese aircraft carrier design.
 The ship will be the first Chinese aircraft carrier to be equipped with a catapult.
 According to the latest report, the construction of this carrier has been rescheduled for a decision on the catapults, where the latest competition results suggested that steam catapults will be used in the Type 002 aircraft carrier.
 The addition of aircraft catapult will give China the ability to launch various fixed wing support aircraft like airborne early warning (AEW) and carrier onboard delivery aircraft.
 Fighters can also be launched at full combat load and reach its full potential unlike current Type 001 aircraft carriers operated by Chinese navy.
Hōshō (鳳翔 , literally "flying phoenix") was the world's first commissioned ship that was designed and built as an aircraft carrier, and the first aircraft carrier of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN).
 Commissioned in 1922, the ship was used for testing carrier aircraft operations equipment, techniques, such as take-offs and landings, and carrier aircraft operational methods and tactics.
 The ship provided valuable lessons and experience for the IJN in early carrier air operations.
 "Hōshō"'s superstructure and other obstructions to the flight deck were removed in 1924 on the advice of experienced aircrews.
HMS "Ark Royal" (R09) was an "Audacious"-class aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy and, when she was decommissioned in 1979, was the Royal Navy's last remaining conventional catapult and arrested-landing aircraft carrier.
 She was the first aircraft carrier to be equipped with angled flight deck at its commissioning; her sister ship, HMS "Eagle" , was the Royal Navy's first angle-decked aircraft carrier after modification in 1954.
The Type 001A aircraft carrier or CV-17 aircraft carrier is a Chinese aircraft carrier that was launched on 26 April 2017 for the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) of China.
 It is the country's second aircraft carrier after the completion of "Liaoning" , and the first built domestically.
USS "Midway" (CVB/CVA/CV-41) was an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy, the lead ship of her class.
 Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, "Midway" was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal.
 A revolutionary hull design, based on the planned "Montana"-class battleship , gave her enhanced protection compared to previous carriers.
 She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991's Operation Desert Storm.
 Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship at the USS "Midway" Museum, in San Diego, California, and the only remaining U.S. aircraft carrier commissioned right after World War II ended that was not an "Essex"-class aircraft carrier .
The Panavia Tornado Air Defence Variant (ADV) was a long-range, twin-engine interceptor version of the swing-wing Panavia Tornado.
 The aircraft's first flight was on 27 October 1979, and it entered service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1986.
 It was also previously operated by the Italian Air Force (AMI) and the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).
Akagi (Japanese: 赤城 "Red Castle") was an aircraft carrier built for the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN), named after Mount Akagi in present-day Gunma Prefecture.
 Though she was laid down as an "Amagi"-class battlecruiser , "Akagi" was converted to an aircraft carrier while still under construction to comply with the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty.
 The ship was rebuilt from 1935 to 1938 with her original three flight decks consolidated into a single enlarged flight deck and an island superstructure.
 The second Japanese aircraft carrier to enter service, and the first large or "fleet" carrier, "Akagi" figured prominently in the development of the IJN's new carrier striking force doctrine that grouped carriers together, concentrating their air power.
 This doctrine enabled Japan to attain its strategic goals during the early stages of the Pacific War from December 1941 until mid-1942.
With the advent of heavier-than-air flight, the aircraft carrier has become a decisive weapon at sea.
 In 1911 aircraft began to be successfully launched and landed on ships with the successful flight of a Curtiss Pusher aboard the USS "Pennsylvania".
 The British Royal Navy pioneered the first aircraft carrier as floatplanes, as flying boats under performed compared to traditional land based aircraft.
 The first true aircraft carrier was the HMS "Argus" , launched in late 1917 with a complement of 20 aircraft, a flight deck of 550 ft and 68 ft wide.
 The last aircraft carrier sunk in wartime was the Japanese carrier "Amagi", in Kure Harbour in July 1945.
 The greatest loss of life was the 2,046 killed on the "Akitsu Maru"—a converted passenger liner with a small flight deck, carrying the Imperial Japanese Army's 64th Infantry Regiment.
The AI.24 Foxhunter was an airborne radar carried by the Panavia Tornado ADV fighter aircraft (known as the Tornado F3 in Royal Air Force service) and gave it an all-weather, day and night, beyond-visual-range engagement capability.
Modern United States Navy aircraft carrier air operations include the operation of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft on and around an aircraft carrier for performance of combat or noncombat missions.
 Modern United States Navy aircraft carrier flight operations are highly evolved, based on experiences dating back to 1922 with the USS "Langley".
