What is the difference between an aircraft carrier and an assault ship?
An assault ship with a flight deck may resemble an aircraft carrier, but its purpose is to deliver marines and their equipment for amphibious attacks. Many navies use assault ships, but not all of them have a flight deck. An assault ship with its own flight facilities spares the aircraft carriers from the task of carrying marine air support. An assault ship cannot operate the high-performance combat aircraft that an aircraft carrier has, but it does not need them for the job it does. An assault ship does not fight enemy ships at sea. Its purpose is to land on an enemy shore and hold it until reinforcements arrive.
Who invented the aircraft carrier?
The aircraft carrier was preceded by the balloon barges of the US Civil War, and the first aircraft carriers were seaplane tenders that did not launch or recover planes aboard the ship. This included the French "Foudre" in 1911. The HMS Ark Royal (1914) was a seaplane carrier that experimented with shipboard launches and recovery. The first US carrier was a converted coal ship, the Jupiter, which became USS Langley in 1920. The first aircraft carrier designed with a flight deck was the Japanese carrier "Hosho" (1922), followed by the commissioning of the British carrier HMS Hermes in 1924.
