The First Aircraft Carrier Sunk In The World - By The Ottoman Navy

[ApparentRaceTraitor]

It is ludicrous to attribute this achievement to religion. This is a Turkish achievement, and a Turkish one alone. So congratulations to Turkey on the first seaplane-cum-aircraft transport kill in recorded history.

Did you both SKIP OVER POST # 6???

It clearly shows another member saying the SAME thing and me giving him the same response and then.

"Let me educate you now son. A seaplane tender WAS at that time an "aircraft carrier" since they were not that technologically advanced. Check out the history of aircraft carriers, they all started with these so-called "tenders", which is obviously a stupid name given to these things.

Want to know what came before the "seaplane tender"??? Balloon carriers! Read this before talking anymore."

Here you go,

Just a question: Is the ship in the question a sea plane carrier or not? Also,try not to be rude.

The history often proved that navies belong to waters where the homeland is. The bottom of Canakkale is a battleship graveyard of allied forces which sailed from 3000 sea mile away to capture a land of a proud nation. They deserve nothing less...

inb4 dumb people start to compare old tech of the same tier at that time with the current tech.

From what I read, the Ottoman Empire was already a hollow shell of its former greatness long before the 20th century.

The mighty Ottoman Empire couldn't even build its own ships and had to have Britain build them. In fact, one of the reasons the Ottomans joined Germany against Britain was because Britain commandeered two ships that were being built in British dockyards for Turkey.

Let's not delude ourselves: the decline and irrelevance of the Muslim world goes back centuries.

that's very intresting and new for me. i thought that real carriers from which fighters and bombers could launch were finished right after the WW1 ended and that the first carrier which was sunk was the japanese light carrier shoho in the battle of coral sea in 1942.

Dude, what you have to learn that any muslim country is muslim first than comes the nationality and everything. Am I right @Sinan ? Even in the case of the Ottoman Navy? Shouldn't this also be called a Muslim victory? @Sinan

So? Sorry, but what is your point?

The point is that this carrier IS an aircraft carrier! Also called a "seaplane carrier" because the seaplanes were at that time their "aircrafts". Understood?

Ben-my-Chree had a tonnage of 2,651. even patrol vessals are bigger and heavier than this

And your point is??

Just a question: Is the SHIP in the question a sea plane carrier or not?

Dude, I HAVE the right to rude because neither you or your buddies here understood anything since my first post. It is a "sea plane" carrier but in that sense, another member tried to sell off a story that it nothing that significant!

True that it was a seaplane carrier, it was intended to be an "aircraft carrier" at that time. Also, at that time, aircraft's used by carriers were called "seaplane" and not just termed the normal "aircraft". Hence, it IS a aircraft carrier, just like I said in my very first post.

I even provided LINKS with evidence that it IS an aircraft carrier. Check my previous posts for the links.

right??? I thought that too.

the decline and irrelevance of the Muslim world goes back centuries.

Although I do agree that we did decline, we were NEVER irrelevant and never will be. Just thought to correct you.

Did they use the Dardanelles gun to pummel that boat, that was one heck of a weapon

I don't think so, because that weapon was centuries older by the time of this battle and it didn't have the needed range. What did happen was that the Ottoman Navy used "shore-based artillery" (as said in my first post) to take down this carrier.

It was not an Aircraft carrier in any sense. It was a Seaplane tender.

It carried Seaplane in a hanger, and these seaplanes were put into sea/recovered from sea using a crane from where they use to take off and land.

It was equivalent to a supply ship of World War II.

in other words, it carried seaplanes, which are air crafts. In a sense, it was an aircraft carrier, but I do have to say that it wasn't the type of carrier that we traditionally think of.

Mate, we are not like that. We are very nationalist... we don't believe in Ummah.

 

[That Guy]

My point was that even supply ships carry Aircraft. They are not called Aircraft Carrier because these vessels just carry airplanes and does not take part in motion of airplanes.

Similarly, a Seaplane tender use to carry Seaplanes but it did not use to take part in motion of Seaplane. It use to drop a sea plane into the sea by using a crane and that Seaplane use to take off from Sea.

This is the reason that first aircraft carrier sunk is considered as shoho ( Japanese AC ) in battle of coral sea.

I know, I was just arguing semantics to annoy you

England didnt give us warship what we did pay for it before the war. Pay us money back......
