{"product_id":"active-aircraft-carriers","title":"Active Aircraft Carriers","description":"Updated 12 October 2025: Updated HMS Queen Elizabeth.\n\nUpdated 12 Feb 2025: Added Iran's IRGC Shahid Bagheri Drone Carrier.\nSeveral ships were added. Updated the Chinese Type 076 LHD to show dual island construction, EMCAT, and dual 30-ton edge elevators.\n\nThe class distinctions between types are clearly changing as technology advances. For example, vertical take-off and landing aircraft advances such as the Osprey and F-35B are rapidly being adopted to ships that otherwise only had helicopters before, making them more versatile and more lethal. Rapid adoption of unmanned vehicles (airborne, water-borne and underwater-borne) continues to dramatically change the naval battlespace. In addition, I believe recent technological advances in laser technology promise to greatly affect the survivability of aircraft carriers in the near future as more nations adopt drone technologies.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0DJKWCBST\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: LFV.B0DJKWCBST.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Ayala, Luis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book is in very good condition.
