    The British invented, but they were all refitted, such as the first aircraft carrier "Fury", the American "Langley", and the "Hundred-Eyed Giant" were all converted with ironclad cruisers and merchant ships, and the first aircraft carrier completely designed in the true sense was the "Fengxiang" launched by Japan in 1922.

    In World War II, Japan had a total of 24 aircraft carriers.

    Japan built a total of 25 aircraft carriers from 1922, when it had its first aircraft carrier, until its defeat in 1945. 20 of them were sunk during the war. By the end of the Pacific War, Japan's production capacity could no longer keep up with the rate of loss.

    In January 1944, Japan had 13 aircraft carriers and could carry 496 aircraft interceptors, but the actual number of aircraft on board was never this number.

    The first aircraft carrier in the United Kingdom to be fitted with an all-access flight deck was the British aircraft carrier HMS Cyclops, a converted passenger liner, which was completed in September 1918.

    Japan, the first ship designed as an aircraft carrier from the outset, entered service with the Japanese aircraft carrier Hosho, which entered service in December 1922. Since then, aircraft carriers with all-through flight decks and superstructure island structures have become models for aircraft carriers of various countries. Japan had 25 aircraft carriers during World War II.

    They are "Fengxiang", "Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu", "Flying Dragon", "Ryusho", "Zuizuru", "Shozuru", "Xiangfeng", "Zuiho", "Ryuho", "Daiho", "Chiyoda", "Chitose", "Unryu", "Amagi", "Katsuragi", "Shinano", "Otaka", "Cloud Eagle", "Flying Eagle", "Divine Eagle", "Sea Eagle", "Falcon", "Rushing Eagle". Among them, 10 ships were designed and built by themselves: "Fengxiang", "Canglong", "Feilong", "Longxiang", "Ruihe", "Xianghe", "Dafeng", "Yunlong", "Tiancheng", "Katsuragi"; There are 15 converted from other ** and civilian steamers:

    Akagi, Kaga, Shoho, Zuiho, Ryuho, Chiyoda, Chitose, Shinano, Otaka, Cloud Eagle, Flying Eagle, Divine Eagle, Sea Hawk, Hayabusa, Okika. Before launching the Pacific War, Japan had a total of 10 aircraft carriers: "Hosho", "Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu", "Flying Dragon", "Ryuchi", "Zuizuru", "Shozuru", "Xiangfeng", and "Zuiho".

    The world's first aircraft carrier came from the British.

    First, Britain built the prototype of an aircraft carrier

    Although the Frenchman Krayman Ade first proposed the concept of an aircraft carrier, and the American Eugene Illidi once took off and landed an aircraft on a cruiser, it was actually the British who put the concept of aircraft carriers into practice. Bright socks.

    Because of the lack of experience with aircraft carriers, the British tried to convert the original cruiser into an aircraft carrier in order to save time and money. After careful consideration, in 1914 the Royal Navy dismantled and converted a cruiser into an aircraft carrier.

    But, strictly speaking, this cannot be considered an aircraft carrier. Because this so-called aircraft carrier uses a seaplane, it can only realize the take-off and landing of seaplanes, but not the take-off and landing of real land planes.

    Second, Britain has built a real aircraft carrier

    The Athletic was the world's first aircraft carrier built to aircraft carrier standards, and although it was completed later than the Japanese Hosho, it incorporates the latest technology used in many modern aircraft carriers, so it is also considered to be closer to the world's first aircraft carrier in the modern sense than the Hosho.

    The USS Athletic was ordered in 1917, construction began in 1918, launched on September 11, 1919, and commissioned on February 18, 1924.

    On April 9, 1942, the aircraft carrier Athletic was attacked by carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier near Kikinjidi of the Trincomalee Navy on the island of Ceylon, and was hit by 37 bombs and sank quickly, unfortunately more than 300 people on board were killed.

    Third, the performance of the Athletic God is stronger than that of the Fengxiang

    In terms of performance, the arena is much better than the Fengxiang, and many of the new technologies used by the Athletic God are ahead of the Fengxiang, and later, when many countries are building aircraft carriers, they learn and borrow from the Athletic God, not the Fengxiang.

    The Athletic inherits the all-access flight deck of the Hundred-Eyed Giant, and adopts an enclosed bow, which is wave resistant, making the flight deck stronger.

    Finally, the Japanese Navy recognized the importance of aircraft carriers very early on. After all, when the attack on Pearl Harbor was repeated, the Japanese Navy used aircraft carriers, and it was very successful. However, the superiority of aircraft carriers over battleships was not discovered by the Japanese Navy, but by the American Navy, which used a large number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft to attack the Yamato and Musashi, and finally sank them.

    And from beginning to end, neither the Yamato nor the Musashi found any trace of the American aircraft carrier.

    Japanese industry is very advanced. During World War II, Japan's industry had reached the world's leading level, so in the aftermath of the war, Japan was able to quickly build a large number of aircraft carriers.

    During World War II, Japan was able to import a large amount of military equipment to other countries, because Japan was very rich at that time.

    Because Japan's military forces were concentrated in the navy during World War II, it was possible to see so many aircraft carriers.

    Why was Japan able to come up with so many aircraft carriers during World War II? Aircraft carriers are cheap?

    During World War II, Japan had twenty-nine aircraft carriers.

    Before World War II, Japan had built, rebuilt, or confirmed to build or renovate as many as 20 aircraft carriers and "aircraft carrier Fengming Zao Reserve Ships".

    After the start of World War II, Japan built aircraft carriers such as "Unryu", "Amagi", and "Katsuragi", but the main role was still played by those aircraft carriers that were completed and confirmed to be built and renovated before World War II.

    According to statistics, in the history of the White Navy, there are a total of 29 aircraft carriers, of which 10 are really built according to the standards of aircraft carriers, 3 are rebuilt, 12 are renovated and Huai chain, and 4 are not completed at the end of World War II.

    It is worth mentioning that due to the contradictions with the navy and the difficulty of coordination, the Japanese army also built four aircraft carriers belonging to the army, including the "Shenshu Maru", and one was still unfinished at the end of the war.
