He examines the conversion of battleships to carriers in the 1920s nd the evolution of the carrier task force as a far more powerful successor to the traditional battle fleet--as shatteringly demonstrated at Taranto in November 1940 and at Pearl Harbor in December 1941. 0aAircraft carriersxHistory. 0aNaval aviationxHistory. 7aHistory2fast  ihas work:aAircraft carriers (Text)1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PCGtVc34cdpPK8Wvx9BVqcd4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork
