ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Supercarrier

So, you know how airplanes can take people from one place to another? Well, the supercarrier is like a really, really big airplane that can carry lots and lots of other airplanes!

The supercarrier is like a flying airport that can have planes taking off and landing on it all at the same time. It’s so big that it can hold more than 80 airplanes, and it’s powered by nuclear energy which means it can travel really fast and far without needing a lot of fuel.

It’s also like a big, floating city because it has everything that people who work on it need to live and work, like kitchens, hospitals, sleeping areas, and even a post office!

Super carriers are used by the military to help keep people safe all over the world, by transporting and launching planes that can help defend our country and its allies. So, whenever you see a supercarrier, just remember that it's like a giant, flying airport that can carry lots of planes and keep us safe.
