WW1 airplanes were built of wood and had cloth skin, and two or three wings (Bi-Planes and Tri-Planes). WW2 airplanes were built completely of aluminum and had only one wing (mono-planes). WW2 warships looked about the same as WW1 warships; all were built of steel, powered by fuel oil, and painted gray. The largest WW2 warships were the Aircraft Carriers (USS Lexington was 888 feet long; sunk at the Battle of the Coral Sea). US Battleships were about 860 feet long but displaced more water (were heavier). US Battleships were armed 14 & 16 inch guns. large cruisers had 12" guns, heavy cruisers had 8" guns, light cruisers had 6" guns, and destroyers had 5" guns. All of the battleships, cruisers, and destroyers could be destroyed by aircraft carriers.
