When Japan declared war on the United States in 1941, Japan's opening gambit - Admiral Nagumo's air strike on Pearl Harbour - established the aircraft carriers as the ultimate weapon of naval warfare. In a daring revenge missions, America's James Doolittle hit back at the heart of Tokyo with a handful of carrier-based bombers before Nagumo met his match in US commander Chester Nimitz at Midway.

The carrier's development is traced from World War 2 through Korea and Vietnam to the Falklands, where a combination of vertical take-off strike planes, helicopters and missile systems proved the modern carrier still reigned supreme.
