What is the maximum size and weight of a aircraft carrier or battleship or any sea vessel can weigh to still be able to float in the ocean?
Joshrondamatthew
There is no maximum theoretically.
As long as the weight of the water being displaced is greater than the weight of the ship itself, it will float. That's why a 1 pound steel ball sinks, but a 90,000 ton aircraft carrier made out of the same material floats.

What does cvn mean on aircraft carriers?
CV = Carrier Vessel. CV was originally used for normal large Carriers while CVL was used for Light Carriers that embarked a smaller Airwing than large Carriers and CVE was used for Escort Carriers which were to slow to keep up with the fleet and used for auxiliary duty like convoy escorts, air support and aircraft transport. Later after Nuclear power became common they added a new letter, N. N = Nuclear. CVN, Carrier Vessel Nuclear.
Why did America used aircraft carriers in World War 2?
Carriers could deliver ordnance at longer ranges and with more accuracy than a battleship. Example: A carrier could sink an enemy warship at well over 100 miles away. A battleship could sink an enemy warship at 20 miles (a little longer if lucky). A carrier (pilot) can sink an enemy vessel with less ordnance; a battleship would have to fire dozens or hundreds of shells to sink a target at long range (because the battleship's guns would have to adjust their fire based upon the splash of the shells). Although cruisers (not battleships), at the Battle of the Komindorski Islands in WWII, USN and IJN cruisers EACH fired nearly 1,000 large caliber shells at each other and each cruiser scored only a dozen hits each on one another neither side sinking anybody!
