[Travel] When does a boat become a ship

[Pliny the Gull]

That makes no sense.
As @Chicken Run has pointed out. aircraft Carriers are, as the name suggests, carriers of aircraft. I can’t speak for the QE and DoE but on the Hermes and invincible class there wasn’t always enough room to house all the aircraft in the hangar, so would be parked on the flight deck. Secondly you can’t launch aircraft’s from the hanger ( you could try but it would be a bit messy) which Is why it has a lovely flat top, which is ideal for launching aircraft’s and sun bathing.
Mary Rose had high quarter deck and forcastle from where archers and musketeers could make merry. So by the logic of above it would be both a ship and a boat.

The correct answer is that it’s a ship ( Hermes etc) however when the general service naval types are about it’s a boat as it really pisses them off.

Point well made.
But maybe it's an Aircraft Carrier in its purpose not either ship or boat as in the original post.
Ie Barge ? Where does that sit.
Apologies. Over thinking this.

Is it possible to find out the nationality and region of cruise passengers before one books one passage? Asking for a friend.
