An aircraft carrier is a naval unit that is essential for launching and recovering aircraft at sea, and is made up of several vital systems. The flight deck is responsible for taking off and landing aircraft, while the hangar houses and maintains the aircraft, facilitating their transport via elevators. The propulsion system, usually powered by diesel engines or gas turbines, is essential for navigation. For defense, these ships are equipped with radar systems and anti-aircraft weapons. In addition, they provide accommodation and services for a crew that can reach thousands of people, transforming them into true floating operational centers.
