Chart comparing a selection of aircraft carriers (sorted by length) There is no single definition of an "aircraft carrier", [citation needed] and modern navies use several variants of the type. These variants are sometimes categorized as sub-types of aircraft carriers, [2] and sometimes as distinct types of aviation-capable ships. [3]
The Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have a length of 1,092 ft (333 m) overall and 1,040 ft (317 m) at the waterline, with a beam of 252 ft (77 m) overall and 134 ft (41 m) at the waterline; the individual ships have slight variations in their dimensions.
Its island, shorter in length and 20 feet (6.1 m) taller than that of the Nimitz class, is set 140 feet (43 m) farther aft and 3 feet (0.91 m) closer to the edge of the ship. Replacing traditional steam catapults, the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) will launch all non-VTOL carrier aircraft. This innovation eliminates the ...

An aircraft carrier is a warship with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft, that serves as a seagoing airbase. Included in this list are ships which meet the above definition and had an official name ( italicized ) or designation (non-italicized), regardless of whether they were or ...

The CL-1201 design project studied a nuclear-powered aircraft of extreme size, with a wingspan of 1,120 feet (340 m). [4] Had it been built, it would have had the largest wingspan of any airplane to date, [5] and certainly more than twice that of any aircraft of the 20th century.
