Building an aircraft carrier...

[MedwedianPresident]

It is the first time I am building a large ship. I have made the skeleton out of structural girders and am currently making the skin out of lifting surfaces. The carrier is supposed to be used in battle, so should I put some structural plates on top of the hull? Also, will this construction support the planes that will land there? Do I need docking ports or will the planes be fixed enough if engaging brakes?

I think you will need this mod

I can't help more, sorry.

I haven't really much experience in that domain, but from what I know things behave quite badly when put in water in stock KSP. If you want to build something as large as an aircraft career, I'd suggest installing a few mods made for the purpose (ship parts, water physics...).

I confirm that I have successfully completed the building of the carrier. Gonna try to land one of my ultra-light fighters on it.
