The aircraft carrier revolutionized warfare, allowing fleets to launch fighters and engage each other over great distances. World War II witnessed the carrier’s heyday as swarms of American Wildcats and Hellcats and Japanese Zeroes catapulted from flight decks to attack enemy ships and planes at battles like Midway and Leyte Gulf.
