moving military bases. They carry planes
and jets. Theyre huge. But they have
small runways compared to airports. To
take off, aircraft need to gain speed. To
land, they need to slow down. They need

can launch and land on carriers in the
middle of the ocean.

2,300 feet (701 meters) to take off.
Carrier flight decks have about feet
(91 m). Carriers also have a hangar deck .
This is where aircraft are fixed and stored.

control tower, where officials control
flights. The lower decks have special
