There are basically three ways to build an aircraft carrier as a large-scale combat platform. The first way is the traditional way. First, cut the steel plate. For example, a steel plate of the Ford-class aircraft carrier in the United States weighs 14 ton, which is very large. Then the keel, that is, the central axis of the hull, is unfolded like a fishbone, and then a steel plate is welded to form the hull. ?

Finally, the shipbuilding body, after the hull is completed, the whole hull is built in the cabin, and the superstructure can be launched by laying the upper deck. This is the most traditional practice. ?

Another is modular, that is, building blocks. If the ship is a 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, for example, it can be made into 20, 30 or 100 modules, which can be built from bottom to top like building blocks. This is also a way, which can be faster than the first traditional mode.

The third way is to build in sections, that is, to divide the aircraft carrier into several large blocks. For example, the British Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier is such a construction method. It divides the entire 60,000-ton aircraft carrier into four sections, one at the bow, one at the stern and two in the middle. Then these four sections were built in different shipyards in England and Scotland, and then they were folded in a large shipyard in Scotland. ? So judging from the current situation, there are actually three ways to build a big ship like an aircraft carrier in the world.
