	Aircraft carrier Summary
		By World War II, seaplane carriers were no longer considered to be as good as carriers which could operate conventional aircraft, as conventional planes could fly farther, faster, with heavier weapons loads and greater performance; by the end of the war, early helicopters were taking over many of the roles of seaplanes.
		HMS Ark Royal was the first aircraft carrier.
		However, the vulnerability of carriers compared to traditional battleships was quickly illustrated by the sinking of HMS Glorious by German battlecruisers during the Norwegian campaign in 1940.
