Aircraft carriers are the world's largest ships in the US Navy. And these are the guns on the ships... Why are they so small? When you look at Russia's aircraft carriers, they have much larger guns on their ships. The modern aircraft carriers of the US Navy are equipped with relatively small cannons in proportion to their size and capabilities. The reason the cannons are so small is not what most people think.

In the bygone eras of naval warfare, aircraft carriers themselves were potent warships, bristling with significant gun batteries. A prime example is the legendary USS Enterprise, which served with distinction in World War II. This carrier boasted eight 5-inch (12.7-centimeter) guns, designed for engaging both enemy ships and aircraft. These powerful weapons played a crucial role in the ship's overall defensive and offensive capabilities.
