Aircraft Carriers
Aircraft Carriers are naval vessels that serve as mobile airfields, capable of launching and recovering aircraft. In World of Warships, carriers provide unmatched tactical flexibility with bomber, torpedo, and fighter squadrons that can strike enemies from a distance, spot targets, and provide air support. While powerful, they require a unique RTS-style gameplay that differs from other ship classes.
