Definitions for "Supercarrier"
A Supercarrier is a ship belonging to the largest class of aircraft carrier, and generally have displacements greater than 75,000 tons. Most countries that have carriers operate carriers with a displacement of less than 40,000 tons (such as Charles de Gaulle, INS Vikramaditya), and more often closer to 20,100 (such as HMS Invincible, INS Viraat). Supercarriers currently hold the world record of the largest warships ever built; however, they are not the largest ships ever built, as the world’s largest supertankers are larger and heavier than supercarriers.
