	Aircraft carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraft—in effect acting as a sea-going airbase.
		Modern aircraft carriers have a flat-top deck, the flight deck that serves as a take-off and landing area for aircraft.
		By the late 1930s, aircraft carriers around the world typically carried three types of aircraft: torpedo bombers, also used for conventional bombings and reconnaissance; dive bombers, also used for reconnaissance (in the U.S. Navy, this type of aircraft were known as "scout bombers"); and fighters for fleet defence and bomber escort duties.

		An aircraft carrier is a warship whose main role is to deploy and recover aircraft.
		To land on the carrier, incoming aircraft moving at 150 mph (240 km/h) are equipped with tailhooks to engage one of up to four arrestor cables stretched across the deck, stopping the aircraft within 320 feet (100 m) after engaging a cable.
		The command and control superstructure of an aircraft carrier, comprising the bridge, CIC and control tower, among other systems, is concentrated in a single, relatively small structure on the starboard side of the deck called an "island".
