What carriers changed about battleship warfare

Did aircraft carriers render battleships obsolete except as anti-aircraft platforms?

No; battleships retained useful roles, but carriers gained the strategic advantage of repeated attack at ranges where guns could not reply.

A battleship remained effective when available, especially for direct fire and support. Its guns could deliver immediate heavy fire against targets within range. The carrier changed the contest by sending aircraft against a ship that could not return fire at the flight deck. Those aircraft could search again after a failed attack and support land operations far beyond naval gun range.
