Mostly thousands of tons of steel. The hull of the ship, and the floors, walls and ceilings of all compartments within it are steel. So are most engine components, though nuclear powered carriers have more exotic materials in the engine room. There were also thousands of miles of copper wire, though on todays ships fiber optic cables have replaces some of this copper wire. The flight deck of WWII carriers was wood, planks laid over a steel deck.
