Aircraft Carrier, abbreviated as “航母” in Chinese, is a large surface vessel that primarily uses carrier-based aircraft as its main weapon. The hull typically features a massive deck and an island located on the starboard side. An aircraft carrier generally serves as the core ship of an aircraft carrier battle group, with other ships in the fleet providing protection and supplies, while the carrier offers air cover and long-range strike capabilities. Today, aircraft carriers have become an indispensable weapon in modern navies and are among the most crucial vessels in naval warfare. By relying on aircraft carriers, a country can exert military pressure and engage in combat far from its own territory without depending on local airfields. An aircraft carrier has thus become a critical asset for modern navies and a symbol of a nation’s comprehensive power.
