for modern warfare was not quickly or universally recognized. Rather, this realization evolved over the course of war, first having to overcome long held beliefs among naval officers that the
primary arena of naval warfare would always be ship-to-ship combat. The following examination of how the performance of the aircraft carrier during WWII charts how this vessel emerged as the
most formidable ship over the course of the war, as well as demonstrating how the emergency of the aircraft carrier marked the end of battleship dominance of naval warfare.
Prior to World War II, all three of the major navies -- the American, British and Japanese -- generally viewed naval power in a similar fashion, which is that
aviation was useful for scouting and naval gunfire spotting.1 Also, aviation was viewed as being capable have having a direct effect on the outcome of a naval battle through facilitating
the destruction of the enemys carriers and direct attack on the enemy battle line.2 However, unlike battleships, the carriers were perceived as having little staying power.3 The carrier and air
power were perceived as something that would always serve as an adjunctive power to that of battleships, which were expected to carry the main brunt of any battle. One aviator
noted that "Carriers combine great power with extreme vulnerability," which stated the principal perception at that time.4 While this assessment would change markedly over the course of the war, the
argument that this presented appeared logical to battleship-trained Naval officers. A battleship or a cruiser was capable of firing dozens of rounds of shells, but a carrier had only one
powerful round of firepower.5 A carrier launched its planes in a single massive attack. However, if an opposing carrier launched its planes at roughly the same time, there was a
