What is an Aircraft Carrier ?

An aircraft carrier is

a warship with a full-length flight

deck and facilities for carrying,

arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft, that

serves as a seagoing airbase .

Classifications of Aircraft Carriers By Type :

1. STOBAR2. CATOBAR3. STOVLBy Size :1. Escort Carrier2. Light Aircraft

Carrier3. Fleet Carrier4. Super CarrierBy Propulsion :1. Conventional2. Nuclear

By Type :

STOBAR – Short Take Off But Arrested Recovery

• Take off through Ski Jump

• Landing through Arrestor Cables

• Arrestor Hook on each fighter

STOVL – Short Take Off & Vertical Landing

• Take-Off through Ski Jump

• Vertical Landing

• Planes used must be able to land vertically.

CATOBAR - Catapult-assisted take-off but arrested-recovery

• Take Off through Steam Catapults

• Heavy Fighters can be used

• Landing through Arrestor Cables

What is a SUBMARINE ?

• A submarine is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.

World’s first Submarine

• Cornelis Drebbel , a Dutchman build first submarine named “Drebbel”.

• It was made of Wood and steel and could carry one man .

• It was propelled with pedals.

Classifications of Submarine

On basis of Function : • SSN

• SSBN

On basis of Propulsion :

• Diesel Electric Submarines

• Diesel Electric Submarines with AIP• Nuclear Submarines

SSN – Attack SUbmarine• These

submarines have short range weapons and equipment to track and hunt other submarines or ships.

• They can be both nuclear or conventional.

SSBN – Ballistic Missile Submarine

• These submarines consists of Ballistic missiles or ICBMs. They remain hidden below the ocean and are stategically used.

Diesel Electric Submarines• There run on Diesel or

Gas turbines and electric batteries.

• They can be with or without AIP.

• They can remain 2-3 days submerged without AIP.

Nuclear Submarines

• Nuclear submarines run by using the nuclear power

• They have a Nuclear reactor on board.

• Their range is unlimited.
