No. The first aircraft carriers they constructed were laid down in 1965. They were late in getting into carrier production, and still have none of the US class carriers.
Yes.
The fastest way to sink the unbelivable huge Aircraft Carrier is to aim for the most weakest spot or take the anti-ship torpedoes. Just a couple of hits, than the whole Aircraft Carrier is on it's way down to the bottom of the ocean floor.
Aircraft carriers are a long range striking arm of a naval air force. Used properly they can decimate enemy fleets as the US carrier fleet did at Midway to the Japanese. In the Atlantic, British aircraft carriers were decisive to hunting down German ships. Not having aircraft carriers was possibly one of the biggest mistakes for the German navy.
Approximately 29 Imperial Navy aircraft were shot down during the attack.
You may mean the Japanese super battleship Yamato, which was sunk off the coast of Kyushu in April 1945 . It was sent as a suicide attempt, with fuel for only one-way. It was to ram into an American ship, which was a mission that utterly failed. Carrier-borne aircraft put it down beneath the watery depths.
Two reasons: if you've got lights on in the dark you can't see anything outside the lights (like the enemy trying to shoot you down) and the lights would help the bad guys shoot the aircraft carrier.
During the attack on Pearl Harbor 29 of 360 Japanese planes were shot down. Only a few US planes made it in the air, so most Japanese planes were shot down by the sailors on the vessels in the harbor. The Japanese lost nine aircraft in the first attack wave and twenty in the second.
The Apollo 11 spacecraft splashed down in the pacific ocean, and were picked up by the aircraft carrier the Hornet.
Planes for carrier use have a hook at the rear of the fuselage. This is lowered so that it drags on the deck to catch a wire running across the deck that helps brake the plane.
