Two things. First, I think you meant dimensions and second, aircraft carriers range in size and shape.
INS Vikrant INS Vikrant
The British built the first true aircraft carrier in 1918. Earlier aircraft carriers were cruisers with wooden platforms built over their decks for airplane runways. The first landing of a plane on a ship was made by Eugene Ely when he landed on a platform on the cruiser Pennsylvania in 1911.
Enterprise
The U.S.S. Enterprise, CVN-65, was the first nuclear powered aircraft carrier. A link is provided.
The British ship HMS Hermes was the first ship designed and built as an aircraft carrier. She was commissioned in 1924. The Japanese ship Hosho was the first converted aircraft carrier in 1922.
The first Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier is the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). She has been in commission since 1961, the second longest commissioned Navy warship behind the USS Constitution. She is also the longest Naval vessel in the world.She is scheduled for decommissioning in 2013.
The first aircraft carrier battle was the battle of coral sea in may of 1942.
Indias first Aircraft carrier was the INS Vikrant, formally known as HMS Hercules.
Nope - she's still running. Nimitz was commissioned in 1975, and she underwent a major refueling and overhaul in 2001. The Nimitz-class carriers are designed for a 50 year lifespan, so she's still got a lot of years left in her. As an example of nuclear carrier longevity, the USS Enterprise (CVN-65) is currently on her final deployment before decommissioning later this year. The very first nuclear powered carrier, she was originally commissioned in 1961.
Uss midway'
HMS Argus in 1918 .
Langley
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.
That is an aircraft designed to transport nuclear bomb safely to the area to be dropped. The first nuclear capable aircraft used in history was a B29 bomber named Enola Gay which was modified to carry the nuclear artifact.
