===General features=== * Speed is a crucial attribute for aircraft carriers, as they need to be able to be deployed quickly anywhere in the world and have to be fast enough to evade detection and targeting from enemy forces. A high speed also increases the "wind over the deck", boosting the lift available for fixed-wing aircraft to carry fuel and ammunition. To evade nuclear submarines, the carriers should have a speed of more than {{convert|30|kn|mph kph}}. * Aircraft carriers are among the largest types of warships due to their need for ample deck space. * An aircraft carrier must be able to perform increasingly diverse mission sets. Diplomacy, power projection, quick crisis response force, land attack from the sea, sea base for helicopter and amphibious assault forces, anti-surface warfare (ASUW), defensive counter air (DCA), and [[humanitarian aid]] & [[disaster relief]] (HADR) are some of the missions the aircraft carrier is expected to accomplish. Traditionally an aircraft carrier is supposed to be one ship that can perform at least power projection and sea control missions.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.japcc.org/will-the-aircraft-carrier-survive/|title=Will the Aircraft Carrier Survive?|date=13 December 2018|access-date=11 September 2019|archive-date=12 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191112020122/https://www.japcc.org/will-the-aircraft-carrier-survive/|url-status=live}}</ref> * An aircraft carrier must be able to efficiently operate an air combat group. This means it should{{citation needed|date=July 2022}} handle fixed-wing jets as well as helicopters. This includes ships designed to support operations of short-takeoff/vertical-landing (STOVL) jets.
