The superstructure refers to the structure above the flight deck. It contains most of the command and control operations of the carrier.

To be clear, the superstructure (usually referred to as the "island") contains the ship navigation and control command center, as well as the aircraft communications and landing control centers. The combat information center (where all combat-related information and decision are located) is located aft, several decks below the flight deck.

In general, for ships, "superstructure" refers to anything above the main deck, which is the flight deck on an aircraft carrier.
