WHAT DOES SUPERCARRIER MEAN IN ENGLISH?

supercarrier

Supercarrier

Supercarrier is an unofficial descriptive term for the largest type of aircraft carrier, typically those displacing over 65,000 long tons. Supercarriers are the largest warships ever built, larger than the largest battleship class laid down by any country. The U.S. Navy has ten supercarriers as of 2014. A few countries operate fleet carriers of around 42,000 tons, such as the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle. The size and configuration of the Charles de Gaulle corresponds closely with the 45,000-ton Midway class the United States built at the end of World War II as a successor class to the much more numerous 27,000-ton Essex-class aircraft carrier, mainstay vessels of WWII after 1943 when they entered service. Internationally, there are more light carriers closer to 20,000 tons, such as HMS Illustrious. In 2009 the United Kingdom cut the first steel for construction of two Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers, with the first ship to be delivered in early 2017 and expected to become fully operational by 2020.
