How did the aircraft carrier change warfare?

The most fundamental change that the aircraft carrier introduced to warfare was extending the range of naval fleet's effective firepower. This was made possible by the airplane. Prior to the inclusion of aircraft in the naval equation, the farthest offensive range was based on the fleet's biggest guns (on the battleships). With aircraft carriers, the range was extended by a factor of more than 10.

What is the difference in classes of aircraft carriers?

Class designations denote their roles in the fleet. For example, during WWII, a CV was a regular Aircraft Carrier, a front line fleet combat vessel. CVE's were escort, or jeep (escort and resupply) carriers that followed the fleet, but were primarily in a support, rather than a fleet combat role, even though they started out as auxiliary vessels and were upgraded to combatants. CVE's were typically relegated to convoy escort duty, and also resupplied fleet carriers with supplies, pilots, and aircraft to replace those lost in combat. CVE's also provide close air support for amphibious landings, while the larger fleet carriers battled the main IJN capital ships in major engagements. CVE's were similar to CVL's (Light Carriers), though they were much slower, smaller, and had less armor than fleet carriers. Due to the vulnerability of their hulls and minimal magazine protection, CVE's were called "Combustible, Vulnerable, and Expendable" by their crews. CVL's were essentially converted Cruiser hulls, and though they had the speed to maintain pace with fleet carriers, in reality their narrow decks were unsuitable for aircraft operations. Due to this limitation, CVE's were actually a better ship.
