- Evolution of Aircraft Carriers
The Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 placed strict limits on the tonnages of battleships and battlecruisers for the major naval powers after World War I, as well as not only a limit on the total tonnage for carriers but also an upper limit of 27000 tons for each ship. Although exceptions were made regarding the maximum ship tonnage, fleet units counted, experimental units did not, the total tonnage could not be exceeded. However, while all of the major navies were over-tonnage on battleships, they were all considerably under-tonnage on aircraft carriers. Consequently, many battleships and battlecruisers under construction (or in-service) were converted into aircraft carriers.
HMS Argus: the first full-length flat deck
The first full-length flat deck, HMS Argus in 1918
The first ship to have a full-length flat deck was HMS Argus, the conversion of which was completed in September 1918. The United States Navy did not follow suit until 1920, when the conversion of USS Langley, an experimental ship that did not count against America's carrier tonnage, was completed. The first American fleet carriers would not enter service until November 1927 when the USS Saratoga of the Lexington-class was commissioned. The lead ship of the class, USS Lexington, was commissioned the following month.
Hōshō: the first purpose-built aircraft carrier commissioned
The IJN's 1922 Hōshō was the first purpose-built aircraft carrier to be commissioned. The first purpose-designed aircraft carrier to be laid down as HMS Hermes (1924) in 1918. Japan began work on Hōshō the following year. In December 1922, Hōshō became the first to be commissioned, while Hermes was commissioned in February 1924.
HMS Hermes (1924): the first off-set control tower.
The design of HMS Hermes (1924) preceded and influenced that of Hōshō, and its construction actually began earlier, but numerous tests, experiments, and budget considerations delayed its commission. The long gestation of Hermes resulted finally in the first aircraft carrier to display the two most distinctive features of a modern aircraft carrier: the full-length flight deck and the starboard-side control tower island. With the exception of the squared-off flight deck prow and angled flight deck of later carriers, Hermes was the first to display the main features of the classic silhouette and plan the layout of the great majority of aircraft carriers produced over the next century. HMS Hermes (1924) was commissioned two days earlier than a sister aircraft carrier, HMS Eagle. Like Hermes, Eagle had a full-length flight deck and a starboard-side control tower island. Unlike Hermes, however, Eagle was a converted battleship and had a less integrated design and appearance than the purpose-designed Hermes.

The Yorktown-Class in my opinion are some of the best looking carriers ever designed.
Same

True
You forgot about the Kitty Hawk class!! John F. Kennedy class variant! The USS Enterprise was 1123ft long. Better luck next time.
Yeah! She forgot Also the refit cvn-10 class Hornet,Oriskany, Lexington BonHomne Richard, Intripid. The were the extended slightly. The Randolph, and. Wasp were not.
@@robertotamesis1783 I could of listed the extended Essex class and the CV7 Wasp. Most of the time she does not do enough research. All she does is Wikipedia crap.
@@robertotamesis1783 She did one about WW2 subs. She was way off. I think she removed the video.
@@johnchampion9268was she talking about that pocket submersible cruiser Uss Nautilus class . Think there were #3 of them, they were the largest subs that the USN had in WW2 , fitted w/a 6" gun (152mm) .
Kitty Hawk has no essential evolution from Forrestal except that the port elevator moved from launching end to the aft. JFK should be enlisted cuz the port launching deck was reshaped to become adapted latter to Nimitz and other catabor carriers.
You forgot both the USS Wasp and the Kitty Hawk Class.
Thank you
The whole "first navy keel".....SMH. It was the first purpose built Carrier for the US Navy...hence it was designed from "the keel up" as a carrier and not a conversion of another ship. It has nothing to do with the ship having a keel...heck....all ships have keels.
USS Enterprise (CV-6) The most decorated ship of ww2
True tho
@Stardust Neo Shadow Vulcanus Nova Alteisen Fact even japan wanna learn how the ship was called the gray ghost.
Battle 360 is goated
You did forget the USS Wasp which was a one of a kind like the Ranger
Yeah the Wasp actually had the first deck-edge elevator if I recall right.
@@Straswa Well, it was a like three support bars.
As an old America, CVA-66, sailor, I'm disappointed that you missed it and the other conventionally powered carriers between Enterprise and Nimitz.
Thank you for your service @Rick Morgan
Yeah, completely skipped the Kitty Hawks.
CV7 USS Wasp
My dad also served aboard America
2:53 “OWARI DA”
Ah yes, a fellow Azur Lane fan you are
mmyes, fellow Azur Lane fan
USS ENTERPRISE (CV-6) is the best US carrier ever.
Change my mind.
How to make a WWI/ WWII carrier: make a street... *Make it float*
My grampa was on the uss enterprise cvn 65. And there was a huge fire and my grampa was trapped for 3 days then they found them and he was saved.
@weid_dude 124 is too weird thanks
The Midway was not the First carrier with an armored flight deck, just the first American carrier with one.
@Massimo Hack Always have been..
Yeah the British focused on the armored decks right?
@@Straswa Yeah the first Was The British And Then The Japanese And Finnally The Americans
Wasp CV-7 is one of the most if not the most forgotten USN carrier
Ja.
USS ranger is the most forgotten in my opinion
USS Saratoga?
You are all correct... IMHO
@@Tomnaso Saratoga was a bit more well known due to her being one of the many ships nuked.
As shown, Saratoga, not Lexington. Lex had a vertical stripe on the funnel. Sara had a horizontal stripe. Easy to remember. The vertical stripe looks like an L.
my dad was on the sara cv-3 during the war. thanks for mentioning her.
I would have included the Kitty Hawk as an improvement of the Forrestal design by shifting the starboard elevator and the superstructure aft and placing two of the port side elevators forward of it, making the midships part of the flight deck less congested during flight ops.
My favorite is the Forrestal Class Aircraft carrier from the past and my favorite is the USS Nimitz class aircraft carrier although it's smaller than General R. Ford
you forgot to add the USS Kittyhawk carrier to the list. to be fair the Kittyhawk looks like a Nimitz class but with some note able stand outs
I think you missed the Kitty Hawk class: CV 63, CV 64, CV 66 and CV 67.
Hello Buss,
There were also 3 more conventional aircraft carriers ( Kitty Hawk class ) USS Kitty Hawk, America and John F Kennedy which was a variant design.
I just thought it would be important to incorporate the class into your video. 😊
Whoops, sorry Buzz not Buss 🙄😊
So much wrong about this video. Only one really glaring error though, the claim that the Nimitz class were the first CATOBAR type CVs. Not even close. Not sure which was the first CV of that type but the Midway class were CATOBAR type thirty years before the Nimitz class entered service.
I know this video page is totally inaccurate, the maker of this thing doesn't even understand the meaning of "research, research, research"
Clue it was a Royal Navy Carrier NOT USN!
@@trevorhart545 HMS ARK ROYAL ????
First commercial flight was in 1914 and not 4 years later were throwing planes on aircraft. Crazy to think about, the military wasted no time in weaponizing aircraft to the max.
Ouch!!! Some one forgot to do their preparation/homework. Can’t get much by these experts.
What the Hell? What do you talk about the Forrestal-Class? The last unit of this class was decommissioned in 1998! And they were all scrapped! So the USN has 0 of these ships currently in service!
Length of the Enterprise CVN-65 was not 335,5 meters but 342 meters! And the Gerald R. Ford-Class is 337 meters long!
LOL 335.5 is the original. 342 is after refit. Gerald is 1092ft.
@@thebuzz4108 Then why not telling this about the Big E in the video?
About the Gerald R. Ford: every source available here in Germany says she has a flight deck length of 333 meters (1092 ft), but her overall length is 337 meters (1105,64 ft). So again you have been unprecise.
What a basic error right at the start. The UK and Japan were at the forefront of Carrier design and production until WW2, NOT the USA. The USA was a laggard. Such a BASIC ERROR gives no faith that anything said has any validity in fact! It was the UK that started with the tradition of the Island location on the Starboard side while Japan started on the Port side initially then adopted the British style. The UK developed the Angled Flight Deck, Arrester Wires, Steam Catapult and the Mirror Landing System. HMS Victorious (which had the first angled flight deck in the world post WW2), was loaned to the USN, along with the crew and aircraft, during WW2.
Your description of a keel is wrong when talking about warships. The keel is the structural spine and provides rigidity throughout the ship from now to stern!
How about the Kitty Hawk class aircraft carrier
Definitely should've proofread this, so many text errors
Thank heaven the ranger invented the keel!
It an amazing you remember Ranger but forgot Wasp
The midway class says 33 knots but 17 mph. The conversion is wrong, sorry for nitpicking its great video just say!
How come Gerald R Ford class only holds only 75 aircraft while Nimitz class holds 90? That seems like a step backward. What am I missing?
Also, one less elevator and one less catapult?!? What the heck?
Reference: the 8:00 mark in this video.
You forgot the Wasp, Kittyhawk, and the John F. Kennedy classes.
I like the Lexington class. Bc the carrie lots of planes
The grammar in this video is terrible. Also only the Enterprise introduced hydraulic catapults, not the entire Yorktown class as Yorktown and Hornet were both sunk relatively early into the war.
Enterprise CV-6 most condecorated aircraft Carrier of the World
U got the enterprise length wrong
Can you do evolution of the Australian Navy or Air Force
this is the third video of this channel I have watched...the level of pronunciation butchery is inexcusable for an "informative" style channel
This Info Is Incorrect. There Were 4 Yorktown Class Carriers: Yorktown, Enterprise, Hornet, & Wasp! ⚓
How come the USS Wasp CV 7 wasn`t included .
Forgot the wasp, and the kitty Hawk class, which really led to the development of Nimitz class in its last rendition.
Missed a few frontline carrier classes there.
wonderful video
Go forward, America! Long live the Nato! Long live freedom! Down with all dictatorships and terrorists all around the world! Best wishes from Germany!
You left out Kitty Hawk
Nice vid, the Ranger is my favorite American carrier. Despite her problems as a fleet carrier she had a fascinating history and an interesting design.
What happened to the U.S.S. WASP ,CV-7 ????
Where is the Kitty Hawk class???????
Many wrong data but just name one: the length of GRF is 1106ft not 1092ft.
I count 10 carriers and 10 amphibious assault ships that can be described as an aircraft carrier when carrying up to 24 fighters or helicopters for the USA.
Maybe they had more a year ago and retired a few since then.
Why are there two USS Enterprise
USS Enterprise CV-6
Where is USS Wasp CV 7 ?
Quite a few glaring inaccuracies in this video. Someone should do a little more research and fact checking before uploading videos.
USS hornet and USS Saratoga
Forgot the kitty hawk
LPD & LHA such as America Class is different evolution of aircraft carriers in US fleet; But most of the other navies is almost the same type, even as British, Italian, French, Chinese , Australian, Korean, Spanish are almost the like of LPD/LHA class. The future navies may be a smaller carrier with drones and cruise missiles ... to support the assault team more than to be a power projector.
your mssing some carriers
Where is uss kitty hawk and uss jhon f Kennedy
it is more useful to make merchant ships with catapults it does not spend much and it is more effective and fast.
Sorry, Buzz not Buss 🙄😊👍
The midway served through first gulf War. Commpletely leaving out the kittyhawk class is a grade A fucking fail.
What the fuck you forget to mention the long deck Essex’s like USS LEXINGTON CV-16 she was a long deck Ticonderoga Essex
So cvn 65 is the most longest aircraft carrier
Yep! She's still is, but not wider
than Nimtiz class
In fact, Even if it's just modernizing the Forester-class, it would eventually be much stronger than the Kuznetsov class.
China's aircraft carrier construction plan is too conservative,
they spend a lot of money, only to build two junk out.😥
Anyway, as a technical verification ship, there is no need to be so conservative.
USS ranger was disposed
And USS Wasp?
Can you do one on Chinese Air Force all the planes
But bogue carrier is smaller how are you that innacurate?
Jai hind
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
F15ex vs rafale vs tejas mrk 2 vs grippen vs f21

*Enterprise and The Enterprise was a Yorktown Class Aircraft Carrier also remember it's NOT the first nuclear aircraft Carrier it's from World War 2 it is famous for being one of 2 Prewar Aircraft Carriers to survive WW2 and it is also famous for being the most Decorated Ship of WW2
