tracker boats?

HMS Argus was the 1st to have a full flight deck the others had a small flight deck on one end or other. These other carriers didn't get their full flight decks until the early 1920's. The Argus got hers in 1918 and thus was the 1st true carrier and she would remain in service until 1944 when new ships made har redundant not to mention she was pretty worn out by this time.

December 1911 appears the French Navy La Foudre, the first seaplane carrier, and the first known carrier of airplanes. Commissioned as a seaplane tender, and carrying float-equipped planes under hangars on the main deck, from where they were lowered on the sea with a crane, she participated in tactical exercises in the Mediterranean in 1912. La Foudre was further modified in November 1913 with a 10 meters flat deck to launch her seaplanes.

how is the unique vessel indicator created?

HMS Ark Royal was the first purpose built carrier with a flight deck. She was purchased by the admiralty in May 1914, having been laid down as a collier, then put through a complete redesign. She could carry 7 planes which obviously had to be craned aboard after landing in the sea. I presume they employed trolleys under the floats to enable them to take off from the flight deck. She was renamed Pegasus and served as a fighter catapult ship during the Second World War.

where do I find the serial number on a Honda 4 stroke outboard boat motor?

HMS Furious was converted to an aircraft carrier from a crusier completed in July 1917. HMS Argus was completed in September 1918, HMS Vindictive was completed in October 1918. Prior to these 'flat top' carriers, sea-plane tenders were in use, they could launch sea (float type) airplanes, but the ship had to stop to pick up the aircraft to bring back aboard the vessel, making them very vunerable to enemy attacks.

what is the web address of the port de Plaisance Palavas Les Flots?

science teacher has it right....while there were a number of experiments with ships that could launch aircraft, they were, as others have mentioned, seaplanes that had to land alnogside and then get craned back aboard. Langley was the first to operate planes that took off AND landed aboard, making her the first proper carrier by a few months ahead of the RN's conversion of the "large light cruiser" (aka battlecruiser) Furious
