The world's first ship specially designed according to the requirements of the aircraft carrier is the British "competitive god". The prototype of this aircraft carrier is the British "Hundred Eyes Giant", which has an "island superstructure" and a straight deck. This structure has been adopted by all countries when developing aircraft carriers.

The world's first professional aircraft carrier was made in Japan, although the full-load displacement was only 10600 tons.

Japanese aircraft carrier Fengxiang

After World War I, Japan, as a victorious country, sought to build a huge navy.

19 18 British aircraft carrier "competitive god" started construction. After learning this news, Japan immediately realized the importance of building the world's first aircraft carrier to establish its navy's position in the world, and then the old Japanese Navy's "86 Fleet Case" passed the budget plan for the construction of the Fengxiang aircraft carrier.

Although the construction started later than the competitive god, the construction progress was delayed due to many factors such as new technology verification and construction sequence. On the contrary, it was launched several months later than Fengxiang, which lacked technology and started late. Therefore, the earliest aircraft carrier put into use in the world is Japan's Fengxiang, which was launched before the competitive god 1922.

Therefore, the crown of the world's first real aircraft carrier is on Fengxiang's head.
