The Aircraft Carrier extends the range of the <l:1,131>Fighter<e>, <l:1,133>Interceptor<e> and <l:1,134>Aero-Space Fighter<e>, forever ending the dominance of the <l:1,115>Battleship<e> over the seas. Continuous air patrols conducted from an Aircraft Carrier provide you with great vision range. When carrying at least one Interceptor or Space Fighter, it actively defends against airborne and seaborne targets. It cannot protect its cargo of up to five aircraft (or nuclear missiles), however, and should be guarded when in dangerous waters.
