What is an association with aircraft carrier and p-47 thunderbolt?

In June 1944, the USA aircraft carrier, Manila Bay (CVE-61), transported 37 P-47 Thunderbolts, from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii to the Mariana Islands. The aircraft were transported by aircraft carrier because it was easier to ship them there, instead of having the planes fly the thousands of miles under their own power. The P-47 (with it's air-cooled engine and 8 .50 caliber M-2 machine guns) was probably better in the fighter/attack role than any USA Navy plane in 1944.


Which was a more important instrument in World War 2 the aicraft carrier or the sub?

Without a doubt the aircraft carrier. Until WWII, the battleships ruled the waves. But due to the unique ability to project force in any direction for hundreds of miles, through the use of it's aircraft, the carrier changed the way that warfare was conducted on the high seas. As a force multiplier, the carrier was the ultimate weapon. In comparison, the carrier's airplanes could easily spot a sub that was preparing to engage in a torpedo attack. Many U-boats and Japanese subs were sunk by aircraft. Its not really a question of which is more 'important' - they functioned in two different ways. Aircraft carriers projected power, while submarines disrupted supply lines. Both were critical in the success of the US against the Japanese.


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?

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 is the impacts to society of the aircraft carriers?

Aircraft can strike any city anywhere anytime, thanks to the aircraft carrier. Stated another way: Prior to the carrier, airplanes NEEDED a land base to operate from. So if a country or city was too far away from any land, it would be virtually safe from air attack because NO AIRPLANE could reach it. Thanks to the carrier; no land (island) is needed.
