According to the data, Japan is the first country in the world to study and apply aircraft carrier operations. The "Fengxiang" aircraft carrier built in Japan in 1922 is considered to be the first standard aircraft carrier in the world.

At that time, Britain, Japan, France, the United States and Italy signed the Washington Convention specifically on the issue of aircraft carriers, with the aim of limiting the scale of aircraft carriers in various countries and safeguarding their maritime hegemony. Japan, on the other hand, deliberately circumvented the treaty by all means.

It is reported that during World War II, Japan built and rebuilt 25 aircraft carriers. They are Fengxiang, Chicheng, Kaga, Fei Ying, Shen Ying, Yinghai, Falcon, Chongming, Ruifeng, Longfeng, Taihō and Chiyoda.

And Black Dragon, Dragonfly, Longxiang, Ruihe, Shoukaku, Xiangfeng, Yunlong, Tiancheng, Guicheng, Nong Xin, Great Britain and Yun Yun.

The historical background of the aircraft carrier:

With the deepening of the first industrial revolution, the development of metallurgy, machinery, engineering, ballistics and chemistry provided conditions for the development of weapons and equipment to mechanization. By the end of 19 and the beginning of the 20th century, the second industrial revolution characterized by the production of large machines, as well as the development and wide application of electric energy and internal combustion engines in the military, made weapons and equipment enter the era of mechanization.

With the vigorous development of land, sea and air combat weapons, mechanized weapons began to enter the war stage. In naval warfare weapons, due to the policy of "big ship and huge guns", modern maritime forces, led by battleships, supplemented by cruisers, destroyers, frigates and submarines, have emerged. Aircraft are used to support naval battles, which promoted the birth of aircraft carriers as a platform for taking off and landing at sea.

1909 On July 25th, Frenchman bleriot flew over the English Channel. In the same year, Kreman Ade, a Frenchman, first described the idea of combining aircraft with warships to the world. In his book Military Flight, he first put forward the basic concept of aircraft carrier and the preliminary idea of building aircraft carrier.

However, his idea did not attract the attention of France, while Americans and Britons discovered its military value. 1910165438+10 14, American pilot EugeneEly took off from the cruiser Birmingham with a wooden runway of 25 meters on the front deck for the first time, completing the first take-off from a warship in human history.

191165438+1On October 8th, Yili successfully landed for the first time on the cruiser "Pennsylvania" with a runway of 36 meters and 22 blocking ropes on the back deck.

19 12 and 19 17, British captain samson and lieutenant colonel Deng Ning took off and landed from a moving warship respectively. The flight test of American and British pilots gave birth to the aircraft carrier.
