I want to paint the picture of the aircraft carrier being scary and threatening in comparison to the tiny warship. So this sentence becomes:

The monstrous aircraft carrier glided ominously past the tiny warship.

I opted for the adverb This adverb gives the sense that the monstrous ship is scary and potentially dangerous. Another suitable adverb could be

On the other hand, if I wanted to paint the opposite picture, that the aircraft carrier wasn’t threatening or scary, I would opt for a different adverb.

The monstrous aircraft carrier glided carefully past the tiny warship.

Now the feeling is that this huge monster of a ship is actually being very cautious and assisting to the smaller, less powerful ship.

Try adding you own adverbs to these sentences. If you get stuck, first think of an adjective (careful, threatening, menacing, happy, sad) then simply transform it into an adverb (carefully, threateningly, menacingly, happily, sadly).

As always, use a thesaurus to help you find synonyms.
