'''Carriers''' or '''Aircraft Carriers''' are ships that [[aircraft]] can land on, and [[FlightGear]] has some support for Naval operations. There are some other types of aircraft carriers such as [[airships]] and heavy bombers but these are obscure historical examples.
An '''aircraft carrier''' is a warship designed with a primary mission of deploying and recovering [[aircraft]], acting as a seagoing airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations.
