The aircraft carrier was first invented in 1914 during World War I, but the modern look of a carrier was designed in 1940 and has remained very similar since then

The aircraft carrier eventually came to become the most powerful naval weapon in history, outpacing other naval vessels and making several of them obsolete. The reason for this is because the aircraft carrier acts as a mobile airbase; containing the immense power and versatility of having an entire flight squadron that they can carry, refuel and resupply from any ocean in the world.
But did you know that without kinematics, aircraft carriers would not be able to function? Let us investigate what role kinematics play in aircraft carriers

1) Aircraft carriers are uniquely constructed to be longer than most normal ships. Fill out the following data table with the average, expected lengths of different types of carriers. You will have to do your own research to fill out this table. Make sure to provide the source where you found your info.
