A military historian explores these mammoth warships. A great gift for WWII buffs. Though the aircraft carrier has become the cornerstone of the modern fleet, it is a relative newcomer to the world of navy vessels. It wasn't until World War II that the carrier's outstanding effectiveness forever altered the future of naval warfare.
