A warship is a fighting ship armed and crewed
for war. The supremacy of the battleship at
the beginning of the 20th century was
rivalled during World War I by the
development of submarine attack, and was
rendered obsolescent in World War II with the
advent of long-range air attack. Today the
largest and most important surface warships
are the aircraft carriers.
