seaplane tender
Unless I am mistaken, the world's first purpose built aircraft carrier.
And for those who feel it is not a 'proper' aircraft carrier - it carried aircraft.
In the event, seaplane carriers turned out to be pretty much a dead end, although many warships, usually cruisers, but including everything from submarines to battleships were designed betweeen the wars to carry seaplanes, with storage and dedicated launch/recovery equipment. Some of the larger vessels even had catapults, I think.
But by the mid 1920s it was clear that the future was large ships with flight decks, and a sufficient speed to knock a fair bit off the length of needed deck.

Would radar have done a lot of the same job that a sea plane did?
