Newly designed aircraft carriers were equipped with greater range and a heavier striking power. Due to time constraints in producing new ships, older ships were being retrofitted with newly designed components. (6) The major advancement in naval is the aircraft carrier. It allowed planes to launch from anywhere on the ocean. It also acted like a gas station to planes too. (8) An Anti-naval weapon could be mined in the water when making contact they would explode in the water. Some are even found today still vulnerable to explode.
