The most fundamental change that the aircraft carrier introduced to warfare was extending the range of naval fleet's effective firepower. This was made possible by the airplane. Prior to the inclusion of aircraft in the naval equation, the farthest offensive range was based on the fleet's biggest guns (on the battleships). With aircraft carriers, the range was extended by a factor of more than 10.
