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.
