Throughout history, no one could top the power and might of a battleship at sea. Their fearsome firepower was simply unmatched, and as far as anyone could tell, it would remain that way forever. That is, until, a small but significant propeller plane successfully took off from atop a modified battleship, and suddenly, the rules had changed. Years of development passed, and the aircraft carrier was born. Sea and sky were united in a lethal combination unlike anything seen before. Suddenly, the rules had changed, and everything that once made battleships grand was now their weakness. No longer did strength lie purely on the surface. Aircraft, and the elegant carriers they called home, changed the face of naval warfare forever.
