Major ships would include aircraft carriers and battleships, which are usually called capital ships. The US had dozens of aircraft carriers by the end of the war, Japan had about ten, all sunk, the British had half a dozen or so, even Germany built one but it saw no action. Battleships had been the only capital ships for decades and many nations had them - the US had about two dozen, the British about the same, Japan had about ten, Italy had half a dozen and so did France, Germany had two fine ones, both sunk by the end of the war.

World War II saw the development and use of several major naval ships. Some notable ones include the aircraft carriers USS Enterprise, USS Yorktown, and HMS Ark Royal, which played crucial roles in naval battles and air raids. Battleships like the USS Missouri, HMS King George V, and the Bismarck were also significant, engaging in battles and bombardments. Additionally, submarines like the USS Nautilus and U-boat types VIIC and IX were important for their stealth and sinking merchant ships.
