- S&T Quarterly, Issue 20: Aircraft Carriers w/ Map Poster (new from Decision Games)
Aircraft Carriers: Every age of naval warfare is dominated by one ship type, from ancient galleys to ships-of-the-line to dreadnought battleships. The middle of the 20th century was dominated by the aircraft carrier. The aircraft of the day were only good for observation, but in that role, they gave a fleet eyes beyond the horizon for the first time in history. As aircraft became more powerful, the carrier challenged, then supplanted, the battleship as queen of the sea. [Forum]
