Navy pilots, I mean, naval aviators refer to their carrier as a "boat".

Had a former CAPT of a DDG correct me on the boat vs ship thing.

It went something like "a guided-missile destroyer brings hell fire and death to cities around the world, and thus earns the distinction of being a ship. A boat is where you consume alcoholic beverages with enhanced women while floating on the waterways.'

I'm pretty sure all the people on Navy ships would rather be boating.

Hungry to confirm?
