There are 24 hour kitchens on most of the decks of an aircraft carrier. They have to feed over 5000 people three times a day any time of the day due to 24 hour shifts.

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.
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.
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.
The CV indicates an Aircraft Carrier. The A at the end indicates it is designed for Attack use. The US Navy does not currently have any CVAs.
Prior to today's (21st century) computerized aircraft; More than likely.
No, there is no copy of a NYC bridge built on an aircraift carrier or battleship.

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.
That would be the Royal Australian Navy, and no, they do not have any aircraft carriers. Their last carrier, the HMAS Melbourne was sold off for scrap to China in 1985.

The Oasis of the Seas is longer than the USS Enterprise. and it weighs more and in general has greater statistics than any aircraft carrier afloat aside from top speed.
Yes, Darwin was bombed by Japanese carrier aircraft
There are not really any such things as "Commercial aircraft carriers" They are so expensive to build and maintain that only the military of powerful seafaring nations run them.
No, it is restricted to landing on either a conventional runway, or on the deck of an aircraft carrier.
In any vessel it is a transverse horizontal member for supporting the decks and the flats. It is also the shank of the anchor
