Naval aviation revolutionized warfare in the 20th century. The advent of aircraft carriers, initially as platforms for reconnaissance and spotting, quickly evolved into mobile airbases capable of projecting power across vast distances. The development of supersonic jets further enhanced this capability, allowing for faster response times, greater range, and increased payload delivery. This combination of aircraft carriers and supersonic jets fundamentally altered naval strategy, transforming the ocean into a dynamic battlespace and dramatically influencing the course of modern conflicts.
