The size of an aircraft carrier's rudder can vary significantly depending on the class and design of the ship. Typically, the rudder can be around 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide. The rudder's large dimensions are necessary to provide the required maneuverability for such a massive vessel, which can displace over 100,000 tons. Overall, the size is engineered to ensure effective steering and control in various sea conditions.

No, the rudder does not control the pitch of an aircraft. The rudder is primarily used for controlling yaw, which is the side-to-side movement of the aircraft's nose. Pitch is controlled by the elevator, which is located on the tail of the aircraft and adjusts the angle of the plane's nose up or down.
