Aircraft carrier

An aircraft carrier is a warship that serves as a seagoing airbase, equipped with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft.[1] Typically, it is the capital ship of a fleet, as it allows a naval force to project air power worldwide without depending on local bases for staging aircraft operations. Carriers have evolved since their inception in the early twentieth century from wooden vessels used to deploy balloons to nuclear-powered warships that carry numerous fighters, strike aircraft, helicopters, and other types of aircraft. While heavier aircraft such as fixed-wing gunships and bombers have been launched from aircraft carriers, these aircraft have not landed on a carrier.

Wallpaper Description:

The UK Carrier Strike Group (UKCSG) is a carrier battle group of the British Royal Navy. It has existed in various forms since the mid-2000s. Between 2006 and 2011, the formation centered around the Royal Navy's Invincible-class aircraft carriers until the retirement of their Harrier GR9 strike aircraft in 2011 as a result of the Strategic Defence and Security Review. The UKCSG subsequently returned in February 2015 ahead of the entry into service of the new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers, HMS Queen Elizabeth R08 and HMS Prince of Wales R09. The aim of the CSG is to facilitate carrier-enabled power projection.

Overall the carrier strike group is expected to cover 26,000 nautical miles, and conduct over 70 engagements in 40 countries
