Top Aircraft Carriers in the World.
Until now, it was believed that the only thing better than an aircraft carrier is a large or very large aircraft carrier. The best representatives of this weapon will be discussed below. But first, let's go over a brief history of the evolution of aircraft carriers in order to better understand their importance in the modern balance of power.

The idea and concept of an aircraft carrier as a ship of a new type first appeared in 1908. In World War I, aircraft carriers were only carriers of seaplanes. The pioneer was the British "Arc Royal", which carried six seaplane bombers and two fighters. Seaplanes from the Arc Royal attacked the Turkish positions.
After the First World War, besides the United States, only Great Britain could claim superpower status. While the United States and Britain were competing, Japan became stronger in the Far East.
In the 1920s-1930s, seaplanes were launched from the deck using a catapult, and after completing the mission, they'd land down next to the ship and were lifted aboard using cranes. Then the scheme of combining aircraft carriers with aircraft on a wheeled chassis appeared. The aircraft hangar was located below deck. The visible part of the aircraft carrier consisted of a straight, smooth deck and a superstructure on the starboard side, because, according to the observations of the military, during an unsuccessful landing approach and subsequent climb, the pilots preferred to turn to the left.
By the end of the 1930s, the aircraft carrier was only a floating airfield and did not represent a formidable independent force. World War II was a triumph for the aircraft carriers.
