Navies around the world are investing in newer, bigger and better aircraft carriers to project power at sea. Nine navies currently operate flat tops that can launch fast jets into action and more fleets want to join this exclusive club. The technology involved in operating aircraft from ships continues to move fast and the unmanned revolution is soon to come to aircraft carriers. More than a hundred years after powered aircraft first launched off a ship at sea, the aircraft carrier continues to be the key indicator of a nation's naval power.
