Which type of warship became the primary weapon of naval warfare in WWII due to its ability to strike the enemy at ranges that battleships could not achieve?
Answer Aircraft carriers
It quickly became clear that surface ships were highly vulnerable to aircraft, which made aircraft carriers the primary offensive weapon of WWII naval warfare. While battleships had some shining moments in WWII, they could not hope to match long range firepower of naval aircraft.
