Parent topics
- Naval warfare [r]: The military history of the organized navies of the world from 300 BCE to the present. [e]
- Naval aviator [r]: Add brief definition or description
Subtopics
Technology
- Angled deck [r]: A critical modification to the design of aircraft carrier flight decks, in which part of the flight deck was slightly offset from the centerline of the vessel; aircraft, especially jets, could accelerate after a missed landing and safely get airborne, rather than crash into a barricade or parked aircraft [e]
- Catapult [r]: A device for converting stored energy into a strong linear force [e]
- Conventional takeoff and landing [r]: Either an aircraft that requires long runways, or a carrier-capable aircraft that must be catapult-launched and will land with the tailhook & arrested landing system [e]
- Carrier-capable [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Flight deck [r]: The main deck area of aircraft carriers, from which aircraft take off and land; high-performance jet operation became practical, in part, only when the flight deck was redesigned to be an angled deck slightly offset from the centerline of the ship [e]
- Hazard from Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Island (aircraft carrier) [r]: A modified ship superstructure for aircraft carriers, of minimal size for needed functions and offset to one side of the ship in order to have a clear flight deck [e]
- Safety and survivability of naval vessels [r]: Beyond the rules of the Safety of Life at Sea convention, protective measures, for naval vessels, against their own systems as well as enemy fire [e]
- Short takeoff and vertical landing [r]: A carrier-capable aircraft that takes a short takeoff, without catapulting but possibly a "ski jump" ramp, but lands vertically. [e]
- Tailhook [r]: Hook on the underside of some aircraft which catches an arresting wire for short distance landings. [e]
Tactics
- Carrier Strike Group [r]: In the United States Navy, the group of ships centered around a large aircraft carrier [e]
- Circular cruising formation [r]: Developed by Chester W. Nimitz, a naval tactical formation in which the high value units (e.g., aircraft carriers and amphibious warfare ships) are in the center of the formation, surrounded by concentric rings of escorts for anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and early warning (i.e., pickets) [e]
Carrier operations
First World War
- Torndern Raid [r]: First raid launched from an aircraft carrier, HMS Furious, July 1918; damaged German Zeppelin facilities at Torndern (now Tønder, Denmark), heavily damaging it. [e]
Second World War
Carrier vs. Land
- Pearl Harbor (World War II) [r]: Imperial Japanese Navy raid on United States' naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, which took place on the morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941. [e]
- Doolittle Raid [r]: The first U.S. offensive operation in the Pacific during the Second World War. [e]
Carrier vs. Carrier
- Battle of Midway [r]: Generally considered to be the turning point of the Pacific Theater in the Second World War, a Japanese force intending to capture Midway Island was turned back with the loss of four aircraft carriers, at the cost of one U.S. carrier; it was the last major Japanese offensive of the war [e]
- Battle of the Coral Sea [r]: Fought in May 1942, the first battle between naval forces built around aircraft carriers, in which the opposing United States and Japanese ships never saw one another; it was a tactical Japanese defeat and strategic U.S. victory [e]
- Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands [r]: October 1942 battle between U.S. and Japanese carrier forces supporting operations on Guadalcanal; U.S. lost more ships but Japan lost more aircraft; helped hold back Japanese land attack [e]
- Battle of the Eastern Solomons [r]: Fought in August 1942 between U.S. and Japanese forces, and the second of the five World War II battles fought between carrier units; U.S. lost more ships, Japanese lost more aircraft, and Japanese reinforcement of Guadalcanal was prevented while U.S. Marines fought off a determined ground attack on the airfield [e]
- Battle of the Philippine Sea [r]: Add brief definition or description
Carrier vs. Ship
Vietnam
Middle East
