Large military ships designed and equipped for combat, used by navies to protect territory and project power on the seas.
From 'war' (Old English 'werre,' from Old French 'werre') plus 'ship' (Old English 'scip'). Compound word literally meaning 'ships for making war.'
The largest warships today are aircraft carriers—floating cities that cost billions and carry their own mini-airport, making them the most powerful individual weapons countries own!
