19世纪末和20世纪初的那段日子里,“巨舰重炮”是各国海军的主流建军思想。随着飞机技术的迅速发展,飞机被当做新的武器运用到战争中。当飞机对地面部队造成令人惊讶的威慑效果之后,马上就有人想到,既然飞机可以用来攻击地面,那么对付海军舰艇应该也是顺理成章的事。可是毕竟飞机的作战半径有限,如果能在海上有一个能够移动的飞机场,那不就可以大大加强战机的空中优势吗?不过,飞机如何从舰艇上起飞在一开始就是一个很大的问题。 During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the “giant-ship and heavy artillery” was the mainstream naval thinking of the Navy in all countries. With the rapid development of aircraft technology, the aircraft was used as a new weapon in the war. Immediately after the aircraft caused a surprising deterrent effect on the ground forces, it was a matter of course that it would be logical to deal with naval vessels, since the aircraft could be used to attack the ground. However, after all, the operational radius of the aircraft is limited. If there is a mobile airport at sea, can that greatly enhance the air superiority of the aircraft? However, how the aircraft took off from the ship was a big issue from the beginning.
