| Summary/Abstract |
The legendary carrier battles of World War II symbolise the utility and
varied missions of sea-based aviation. The aircraft carrier has played
a vital role in naval affairs ever since, continuing to demonstrate its
diverse capabilities in various combat operations since 1945. The
carrier has retained its standing, both as an operational requirement
and as a symbol of national prestige, making it an essential component
of navies and indispensable to their strategic interests.

| Summary/Abstract |
A number of Proceedings articles and commentaries in the past several years have advanced the idea of saving money and fulfilling the vision of “distributed maritime operations” by building a fleet of more, smaller, lighter ships. For aircraft carriers, that argument tends to take the shape of more “Lightning carriers”—based on the hull form of amphibious assault ships such as the USS America (LHA-6) class—and fewer nuclear-powered carriers of the Nimitz (CVN-68) and Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) classes.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the end of World War II, the aircraft carrier has been commonly portrayed as the ultimate element of sea power. This notion of carrier supremacy is based largely on the prevalent belief that carrier-based aircraft were so lethal during the Second World War that they rendered surface combatants, most notably battleships, powerless against air strikes. Yet a close reading of the history of combat at sea during World War II fails to support this contention. The battleship proved the most resilient surface ship and remained the ultimate determinant of sea control. The idea that the aircraft carrier supplanted the battleship as the dominant naval platform is a myth.

| Summary/Abstract |
A new, twenty-first-century design of the size of USS Midway with an air wing up to sixty-five aircraft, whether conventionally or nuclear powered, could complement larger nuclear flattops while still incorporating rugged survivability and being capable of independent operations—and could be built quicker and cheaper and in more shipyards.

| Summary/Abstract |
In some respects the CVF project is a case of back to the future for in the mid 1960s a new fleet carrier programme, CVA-01, was planned to replace HMS ARK Royal, Eagle and VICTORIOUS, which had all been laid down during the Second World War.

| Summary/Abstract |
Air and aerospace power has been fundamental for defending China's "near
seas"-encompassing the Bohai Gulf, the Yellow Sea, and the East and South
China Seas-since the founding of the People's Republic.1
While air and naval
operations did not play a significant role in the Chinese Civil War, which was
won by the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the victorious Communist forces
were threatened immediately by hostile air and naval forces from the maritime
sphere. In 1949 the regime was ill equipped to defend its eleven thousand miles
of coastline and more than six thousand islands against attacks and harassment
from Nationalist Chinese air and naval forces occupying the large islands of Taiwan and Hainan, as well as
several smaller islands, let alone protect the People's
Republic of China (PRC) against the aircraft carriers of
the powerful U.S. Seventh Fleet. Even before the People's Republic was officially declared in October 1949,
communist leaders immediately recognized the need
for strong naval and air forces; the PLA's commander,
General Zhu De, stated in April 1949 that China "must
build its own air forces and navy in order to boost
national defense."2

| Summary/Abstract |
Aircraft carriers have been considered, for long time, the long stick of major maritime powers, capable to project force ashore and themselves a proud symbol of naval power. Todaym only a few European countries operate a carrier force: France, Italy and Spain, while the UK with a shocking decision, withdrew all the embarked fixed wing aircraft and terminated a long and proud tradition.
