The average length of light aircraft carriers can vary depending on the class and nation of the vessel. Generally, light aircraft carriers are typically around 200 to 250 meters (approximately 656 to 820 feet) in length.
For example:
- The HMS Invincible of the British Royal Navy, a well-known light carrier, is about 207 meters (680 feet) long.
- The V/STOL capable carriers, like the USS Wasp, are similar in size but can also fall into the category of amphibious assault ships, which are slightly larger.
For specific information and accurate references, reliable sources on naval vessels include:
- Naval history websites (such as the Naval History and Heritage Command)
- Books on naval warfare and carrier history
- Databases and military encyclopedias that specialize in naval ships
Please consult these types of sources to verify the information for different classes of light carriers specifically, as actual dimensions may vary for different models and classes.
