aircraft carriers
Naval aviation platforms
Aircraft carriers are warships designed to serve as mobile airbases, with flight decks long enough for planes to take off and land at sea.
They form the centerpiece of modern naval fleets, projecting military power across oceans: The carrier strike group deployed to the Pacific.
Nuclear-powered carriers can operate for decades without refueling.
