Types of Warships Explained

An aircraft carrier is a warship designed to deploy and recover aircraft, allowing naval forces to project air power over long distances without relying on local bases. Aircraft carriers have evolved from early wooden vessels that carried balloons to modern nuclear-powered warships that carry dozens of fixed-wing and rotary aircraft. A destroyer is a fast, maneuverable warship intended to escort larger vessels and defend them against smaller attackers like torpedo boats and submarines. Frigates are used to protect other warships and merchant ships, especially serving as anti-submarine combatants for amphibious forces and replenishment groups.

Warship- Aircraft Carrier

Warship- Aircraft Carrier


An aircraft carrier is a warship designed to deploy and recover aircraft, acting as a sea-going airbase. Aircraft carriers thus allow a naval force to project air power great distances without having to depend on local bases for staging aircraft operations. They have evolved from wooden vessels used to deploy a balloon into nuclear powered warships that carry dozens of fixed and rotary wing aircraft.

Warship- Battleship

Warship- Battleship

Warship- Destroyer

In naval terminology, a destroyer is a fast and maneuverable yet longendurance warship intended to escort larger vessels in a fleet or battle group and defend them against smaller, short-range but powerful attackers (originally torpedo boats, later submarines and aircraft).

Warship- Frigate

In modern navies, frigates are used to protect other warships and merchant-marine ships, especially as anti-submarine warfare (ASW) combatants for amphibious expeditionary forces, underway replenishment groups, and merchant convoys. But ship classes dubbed "frigates" have also more closely resembled corvettes, destroyers, cruisers and even battleships.

Warship- Missile Boat

Warship- Submarine

Warship- Submarine

A submarine is a watercraft that can operate independently underwater, as distinct from a submersible that has only limited underwater capability. The term submarine most commonly refers to large manned autonomous vessels, however historically or more casually, submarine can also refer to medium sized or smaller vessels, (midget submarines, wet subs), Remotely Operated Vehicles or robots. The word submarine was originally an adjective meaning "under the sea", and so consequently other uses such as 'submarine engineering' or 'submarine cable' may not actually refer to submarines at all. Submarine was shortened from the term 'submarine boat'.
