航空母舰(简称航母)诞生于第一次世界大战期间,在第二次世界大战中建立过显赫的战功。战后,由于战略核武器的发展,航母的地位虽然有所下降,但是,不少国家根据各自军事需求、经济实力和技术水平仍在继续发展和装备这种武器系统。其原因就在于:以航母为核心的战斗群是一支可执行多种任务的海空协同力量,它在军事上所起的战略、战术作用是其他武器系统无法代替的。 Aircraft carrier (referred to as aircraft carrier) was born during the First World War, in the Second World War has established an outstanding war merit. After the war, due to the development of strategic nuclear weapons, the carrier’s status has declined. However, many countries continue to develop and equip such weapon systems according to their respective military needs, economic strength and technological level. The reason is that the aircraft carrier as the core battle group is a sea and air coordinated force capable of carrying out various tasks. Its military strategic and tactical role can not be replaced by other weapons systems.
