	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.
		Carriers steam at speed, for example up to 35 knots (65 km/h), into the wind during take-off in order to increase the apparent wind speed, thereby reducing the speed of the aircraft relative to the ship.
		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.

	Future French aircraft carrier - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		A new generation of aircraft carrier developed both for the French Marine nationale based on the Thales design for a UK future aircraft carrier, CV(F).
		The requirement for the carriers was confirmed by Jacques Chirac in 2004 for the centennial of the Entente Cordiale.
		To proceed to the construction of the aircraft carrier however has aroused numerous controversies in France where the idea to renounce nuclear propulsion in order to favour British needs is seen as a backward step for the French technology.

		The carrier, despite the hazardous job of flying from such a shortened deck, continued to launch her planes on missions of mercy or patrol as they carried food, medicine, and long-deserved luxuries to American prisoners of war at Narumi, near Nagoya.
		The carrier proceeded to Bayonne, N.J., for repairs and, after she entered drydock there, the bow of aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV 12), then undergoing conversion, was removed and floated by barge from Brooklyn, N.Y., and fitted into position on Wasp, replacing the badly shattered forward end of the ship.
		While the carrier was carrying out this duty, a television film crew from the National Broadcasting Company was flown to Wasp on 21 March and stayed on the ship during the remainder of her period at sea, filming material for a special color television show to be presented on Armed Forces Day.

	The Battleship Kongo
		The old veteran of Pearl Harbor, the Coral Sea, and the Solomons, the aircraft carrier Shokaku, was sunk, and the new carrier Taiho, with an armored flight deck, was lost, in part because fumes from poorly refined aviation fuel exploded after a torpedo hit.
		The class of 1910, when the Kongô and Hiei were planned, survives today in the battleship Texas, as strange to modern eyes as a dinosaur, on public view at the San Jacinto Battlefield, outside Houston, Texas.
		Yet, where in Britain a Sovereign Queen, a State religion (the Church of England), and various national symbols seem to pose no threat to freedom or democracy, Japan continues to live under the shadow of the crimes practiced in the name of the Emperor, the State religion (State Shintô), and various symbols.

		The work took account of issues like the type and number of aircraft to be carried and the survivability of the ships.
		The MOD carefully analysed work carried out by BAE Systems and Thales UK in the Assessment Phase, and concluded that both teams had done much good work and their key skills were largely complementary.
		In terms of the shipbuilding element of the carrier programme, we have concluded that the Carriers should be built by a combination of four yards, namely: BAE SYSTEMS Marine at Govan, Vosper Thornycroft at Portsmouth, Swan Hunter on Tyneside and Babcock BES at Rosyth.

		The second carrier will be in refit, working-up, engaged in trials or training duties, or otherwise non-operational.
		To meet the MOD's requirements, the new carriers will have more frequent but shorter refits lasting not more than 6 months, thus even in a worst case it should be possible to make a CVF in refit available again within 3 months.
		The designed service life for the CVF's was originally to be 30 years (the same as the Invincible Class), but the IPT has established a stretch target of 50 years.

		The Future Carrier Borne Aircraft was thus renamed in May 2001 as the "Future Joint Combat Aircraft" (FJCA) to better reflect its status as a common Royal Navy/Royal Air Force (RN/RAF) aircraft capable of both sea- and land-based operations.
		There are a number of methods by which the new aircraft could be launched from aircraft carriers, all of which aim to optimise costs, runway size and aircraft capability in a given design.
		In this method aircraft take-off's are catapult-assisted, allowing very heavy payloads to be carried, while special arrestor gear equipment is used to halt fast moving landing aircraft in a relatively short distance.
