An aircraft carrier is basically a ship with a flight deck, which serves as an airport for taking off and landing aircraft. Nearly as long as there have been aeroplanes, this idea has existed. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany were conducting test flights from platforms mounted to cruisers within 10 years after the Wright Brothers illustrious 1903 flight. The tests were mainly successful, and the different naval forces began modifying current warships for this use. The new carriers made it possible for armed forces to ship short-range aircraft anywhere in the world. In World War I, carriers did not contribute much, but in World War II, they were essential to air combat.
Super aircraft carriers are now an essential component of nearly all significant U.S. military operations. The air power that the spacecraft transports can mean the difference between success and failure even though the ship itself is not particularly effective as a weapon. Carriers may travel at speeds of more than 35 knots , enabling them to reach any location in the ocean in a few weeks. Six carrier groups are currently deployed by the United States and available for deployment anywhere in the world.
Drawbacks :
Getting the planes to their objective is one of the main challenges of deploying air power in battle. The United States must enter into special agreements with a host country and then must adhere to that country norms, which may change over time, in order to operate an air base in a foreign location. It goes without saying that in some regions of the world, this can be very challenging.
