Aircraft carrier

Aircraft carriers were a type of vehicle used by the navies of Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries.

In 2051, aircraft carriers were phased out due to a increase in popularity of manned bombers and ballistic missiles. 

Aircraft carriers of the Earth Navy possessed crew complements of upwards of five thousand people. They also had their own air wings. 

Harry Morrow compared the Klingon mobile battle bases to aircraft carriers on Earth.
