Aircraft carriers proved to be the decisive instrument of naval warfare during the Second World War. In this program we witness some of the great carrier battles of World War II: the Battle of the Coral Sea, Midway, and the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot. We also see the important role that carrier-based planes played in hunting down and crippling the German surface raider Bismarck. Carrier warfare fundamentally changed the nature of war at sea. They relegated the mighty battleships to a support role, permitted the projection of naval power to unprecedented distances, and allowed the worlds navies to engage without having to come within sight of one another.
