How Many Aircraft Carriers Does Each Country Have?
How Many Aircraft Carriers Does Each Country Have? Explore the world of aircraft carriers and discover the countries with the most powerful war machines on the high seas!
Aircraft carriers are some of the most powerful war machines in the world. They are usually the centerpiece of any Navy because of their ability to transport aircraft all over the world. But not every country has one, in fact, out of the 195 countries in the world, only a select few have at least one aircraft carrier. One country even has 11 aircraft carriers. So what country is it? And what other countries have aircraft carriers? Who would win if conflict were to break out on the high seas?
Learn about Brazil's Atlantico, China's Liaoning and Shandong, France's Charles de Gaulle, and more. Find out how countries like Russia, Japan, and the United States dominate in this arena and which carriers are currently in operation.

No thanks, our Navy is a joke, its about a few jets on an empty carrier with a few ships, the Navy and military is just to small today.@@miskemamesah
A lot of folks wonder why US Carriers are deployed to areas that have been impacted by natural disasters. They can make clean water via desalinization, they have machine shops that can fabricate anything. They have a crap ton of fuel, food, and supplies. Basically they are floating cities and the quickest way to get aid for disaster relief. They are an absolute engineering marvel.
They are also used for syping, deterrence, and aggression.
They also have Level 1 Trauma operating rooms and a sick bay that can hold up to 300 people at a time. The lower decks where the planes are stored can be utilized as a triage area
@@AntiFurry927j He made a perfectly valid and obvious point, not exactly a troll comment
Absolutely right. Spot on on everything as well as having modern medical facilities.
People today have this idea that countries are all the same, that the US is just another self interested superpower with the same ruthlessness as China or Russia. The US is fundamentally different. There is a reason so many countries wish to join NATO. There is a reason there are more US military bases abroad than any other country. It is because the US has foundational values, goals, and an outlook that will not screw over countries in the same way China or Russia may. Spying, deterrence, and aggression are inevitable. I don't like it, but thems the facts. When faced with that, I am glad the US has more Acs than any other country. Wouldn't want it any other way. Not for the sake of America, but for the sake of us all.@@user-ul3wr1bl3l
By law, the US Navy must have 11 aircraft carriers at all times. At its peak the U.S. Navy was operating 7,601 ships on V-J Day in August 1945, including 28 aircraft carriers.
OK. Thank you. He could have easily said that but chose not to for some reason. Americaphobia?

Nothing like giving 10 seconds to the most impressive aircraft carrier in the world.
Which one are you talking about 🗿
@@trexfrom69mya78OBVIOUSLY it's the Russian one. You can tell it's the fastest bcuz of all the smoke coming out of it AND it's only broke down once. Its moderately clean and acceptably maintained.
Lol😂😂😂 Russian. OK. OK. Good joke.
@@rush1erkinda pissed me off how he said all the accidents that happened on it like the worst naval disasters haven’t happened on the US’s navy

I was privileged to serve as a Supervisory Inventory Management Specialist at FAWPRA Det Cubi Pt, Philippines, in the late '80s. Our activity serviced all military aircraft in the Seventh Fleet aboard aircraft carriers. Our team usually boards those ACs to repair CAG's fighter planes. I've seen the last F-4 decommissioned, and those repairable parts were retrograded to the Mainland. It was FUN working on this activity. I considered it an immense privilege to board some ACs, like the Enterprise, Coral Sea, Carl Vinson, and others while at berth at Alava Pier, delivering parts and tools needed by our crews to work on those planes.
I was in the Navy from October 72 until October 76. I was stationed out of Norfolk navel base. On the USS Guam LPH 9. I saw many of the aircraft carriers during that time. I got to see the first Nimitz class carriers. They tookup one complete side of pier 12. You could have parked 4 LPH's on pier 12. They were the largest most impressive ships I have ever seen. No other country in the world has anything anywhere near them. The US Navy is second to none.
The world has now moved on from aircraft carriers they certainly are not the weapon America thinks they are anymore. Spend your tax dollar on better things your country is going down the pan.
Not only is it strong, but the American carrier looks very comfortable I guess you could say this is what a superpower can afford. From Japan
And now more than ever we the people need to keep it that way.

@@razorraysolarsavings70nope, that's overly simplistic thinking that just continues our insanely excessive military spending. Everyone always says "especially now" but there's no rational meaning behind it, we aren't at war or at serious risk of it at all
I was in the US Navy from 1976 to 1980. I was stationed aboard the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) as a memmber of the ship's company assigned to AIMD (Aviation Intermediate Maintence Divison). I was aboard the ship prior to its commissioning in October of 1977 which made me a "Plank Owner". In the old days pre com ship's company memmbers would recive a plank from the old ship when it was decommissed. As a side note I saw the Carl Vision (CVN-70) being built next to us in the Newport News Ship Yard in Virginia. My time aboard the "IKE" was one of the most memorable highlights of my life.
And it's still going nearly 40 years later? Just entered the Med...

Did it come with toilets?
I was on a carrier for five years and sinking one is harder than most people think because first of all you have to get past the rest of the carrier group along with the aircraft onboard. We train for fires on the flight deck to closing water tight doors to maintain the ships integrity if we took torpedo hits.
Didn't they have massive issues when they scuttled an asbestos infested aircraft carrier?
Ship missiles from China and Russia are the imminent threat.
Thanks for serving i walk around free because of people like u
We watched learn or burn in boot camp. After the Forestal fire they made hangar by doors to prevent fires from spreading .
Titanic was also unsinkable 😮
The Admiral Kuznetsov has been in dry dock since 2017 and is now been delayed until 2024. You might as well say they don't have an aircraft carrier.
Fr
I think they've suspended repairs for the near future, because they just don't have the budget right now.
They won't if they keep dropping heavy shit on the flight deck. And can it really be said to be in dry dock when the dry dock sinks?
@@americanmade6996 It's a wet dock now.

In all fairness they knew that if pearl harbor failed it was over.
@@andrewzeedyk3095 I wonder. What would count to the Japanese as failure at Pearl Harbor? If no battleships had been sunk or seriously damaged, US strategy still called for the surface fleet to sally forth and confront the enemy in monumental surface actions-which was also Japanese strategy, and something the IJN prepared for, under any circumstances. I don’t think it’s a given that Japan would have known it was “over”. Going to war to secure the means to make war was a delusional exploit in the first place, but Japan was not deterred.
@@americanmade6996most likely wouldn't have been vaporized if they didn't attack pearl harbor, they would have still suffered a loss but not as severe.

The Ford (CVN78), the John F. Kennedy (CVN79), and the Enterprise (CVN80) were purchased as a block to make their manufacturing less expensive as they were able to buy more materials ahead of time. In addition the crews building them carryover knowledge and expertise between the ships. The Ford is in service and many of the problems it encountered have been solved. The Kennedy launched on October 19, 2019. Work on the Enterprise began in August of 2017. She is expected to be operational in 2028. CVN81 - The Doris Miller is scheduled to begin building in 2026.
Biggest issue for Kuznetsov is that it stinks of diesel and sewage as they haven’t figured out toilet technology yet. Clean water production is also a problem. It’s propulsion system is essentially shot. Pretty much the key items to make it usable are defunct. However, I gather a number of yachts and mansions have mysteriously appeared. The only vessel it has actually sunk is it’s own dry dock.
So you mean to say, if I took a dump onboard, it would be a problemo??? 🙄
Yep. 75 years of looting toilets from other countries and they still haven't figured out plumbing.
Great video with excellent detailed information. Thank you for making it. Shalom
Navy navigator 64-70 served on can’ COWELL DD547 and birdnest’ Ticonderoga. This is a whole different technological age. With the advent of hypersonic aircraft and missiles as well as well armed drones… the strategic ( to project strength) role of carriers is morphing slowly but inevitably. Whatever the eventual role of super carriers becomes, I am confident in the U.S Navy’s commitment to remain the most advanced and potent globally. Bravo Zulu! 🇺🇸⚓️

Wait... half the ships on your list are not aircraft carriers according to your own definition! These are the very helicopter vessels and amphibious assault ships you disqualified as "not a true aircraft carrier". And Russia explicitly labels its Admiral Kuznetsov as a "heavy aircraft cruiser" to get around the ban on aircraft carriers in the Black Sea.
Admiral Kuznetsov is no longer crewed currently, so I dont think that counts anymore.
Yeah this is a totally ridiculous list both in content and in ranking, exposing the OP's woeful lack of understanding of what a "carrier" is.
Its make believe 😂😂😂
And it keeps catching on fire and it "don't" work. I do believe even the dumbass russians gave up on it...
True. And his "ranking" or numbering makes no sense either.
I work on the tugs Sydney harbour ..The last carrier we brought in was the WASP ...The KittyHawk was another .the independence in 92 .But my two favourites were the battle ships Missouri in 86 and then the New jersey in 88 for our Bicentennial.

Not the most advanced at all.
@@IamDude2 Which carrier would you say is the most advanced?
easier to fight with hypersonic missiles or torpedo..... bigger is not an asset nowadays !!!..
So other countries had their amphibious assault ships listed as carriers for the purpose of the list, but the 9x American Wasp and America class LHD/LHA, each of which can operate with up to 22x F-35B and/or AV-8B Harrier fighter jets when given a sea control mission (more jet fighters than most of the other "carriers" in the list can operate) aren't mentioned at all? They should be, and that mention should put the US Navy at 20 "carriers".
Great factual information on Navies around the World 💙⚓️👍
Those curved take off decks are a drag on airflow against the ship, they're bizarre too!
Ski jump decks? Their advantage is 3-fold. 1. By using them, they save fuel for VSTOL (Vertical and Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft such as the Harrier and F-35 B. Only vertical take-off burns through alot of fuel. 2. They shorten take-off runways required onboard carriers. Remember the movie Midway from a few years ago? If the head winds and speed of the WW2 carriers were not great enough, the carrier aircraft stood a risk of ending up "in the dunk" or water during take-off. 3. By using them, they negate the installation of catapults.
@@eddihaskell Yeah but F-14's were and FA-18 Hornets are fast enough for a flat deck- with the catapults.
@@413TomaccoRoad the ski jumps are if they don't have a catapult if they do they don't need the ski jumps
ski jump is much cheaper,cost wise,uss ford is still struggling with its EMALS tech.
@@eddihaskell With the ski-jump, you need to launch on full afterburners, because you have no catapult. That limits the amount of fuel you can bring with you.
AIRCRAF CARRIES OTHER COUNTRY BERY DIFFERENT THANK SO MUCH FOR SHARING FULL WATCHED HERE FREIND
The USA also has 10 more in the light carrier/ assault ships. F35s are on them.
Kinda undersold the QE class carriers here. They are capable of carrying around 70 aircraft in surge conditions, 24 F35s is only the peacetime number and 36 would be the minimum wartime figure. They will be the most capable outside of the US after 2023 when more F35s have been delivered. They're also the most advanced carriers in the world, baring maybe the Ford class and have so many autonomous systems that they only require a crew compliment of between 700-1200, compared with the Ford's 4000+. The QE class are also the only carriers in the world designed purely to operate the F35 and future aircraft. Aside from cost, there was another reason the QE are not nuclear powered and that is because many ports around the world, including several commonwealth ports do not accept the docking of nuclear vessels limiting the ports US and the French carriers can dock at.

As an X Navy man I know Carriers are complex systems and require a lot of expertise. You don't build them or man them over nite. China plans to make six just to defend South China Sea. There supply lines will be next door to their Carriers. Our supply line are not next door. Master Soon spoke of this imbalance. We better correct it before confrontation.
If it ever come to a sea battle I probably won't matter much all I see happening is tremendous civilians getting sencelessly killed as usual and a senceless war goin on for 10 to 20 years,chit will hit the fan big time cause no one has learned from previous wars.its goin to be a mess but its human nature to protect there assets and assure they have a endless supply of fuel and food thats what will ensure a side wins instead of being happy with what they have it is our flaw as human beings.
If China didn’t learn from Japan and Germany’s mistakes, they are utter fools. Just the US Navy would level them not to mention the Air Force. In a strictly all out conventional war(no nukes), the US could level anyone they want to

The statement of the Russian aircraft carrier is being a capable ship is indeed true. The Russian carrier has proven to be the most deadly naval ship in modern military history...... To its own crew.
one russian word for your big aircraft carriers ''zircon'' ..... just saying
Capable in providing 10KM of black smoke and deadly in a way of don't inhale the smoke because you will be very dead indeed.
I personally include most LHDs and LHAs such as the Wasp Class or Canberra Class LHDs and America Class LHAs under the category of aircraft carriers. This is because the basic definition of Aircraft Carrier is, "a large warship which serves as a seagoing air base, allowing for the carrying, arming, deployment, and recovery of aircraft." And indeed while Amphibious Assault Ships' primary function is to employ and support amphibious assaults onto enemy shores, being a seagoing air base is a huge part of said role which is why it has a hangar and full length flight deck. It carries, arms, deploys, and recovers aircraft for the purposes of supporting ground forces during amphibious assaults. In essence, Amphibious Assault Ships are just a more specialized subcategory of aircraft carriers, because their original purpose was to be helicopter carriers, which in of themselves are considered to be aircraft carriers on top of modern day ability to launch fixed wing aircraft. I think people take primary role vs. secondary role to the absolute extreme when it comes to definitions which I find to be kind of stupid and for all intents and purposes, there is absolutely zero reason why Amphibious Assault Ships cannot fall under the category of Aircraft Carriers.
If I was in charge of the navy I would put in a request to rename all the fixed wing/helo AA ships into support or assault carriers both because of similar roles they serve to there WW2 predecessors and because it would streamline the ship classification system while allowing the public to know in better detail how many carriers the us navy operates
@@aidanhelfrich4887 Ikr. I absolutely agree.
My father was on a LST in the Solomon islands South Pacific, and was in Iwo Jima and Bougainville...They unloaded vehicles to the beaches like Amphibious Tractors etc..
It depends on how you define an aircraft carrier, since amphibious assault ships are limited to VTOL and V/STOL aircraft.
@@davidkarr4632 An LST is completely different from an LHD or LHA.
It's not just about having an aircraft carrier. It's also about whether a country has enough fund to maintain it. You don't just built something like that and leave it to rot in the sea. Maintenance costs a lot. They have to resupply it, pay the crew, provide support units (other smaller ships) and performance maintenance regularly to repair any structural damage to the air carrier. The operational cost could surpass $1 billion per aircraft carrier per year. This could translate to $6-$8 mil per day.
Much like battleships reaching their zenith in WWII a good 30 years or so after they were already obsolete. So have aircraft carriers today you will never see one near a sophisticated opponent. Besides aircraft carriers are not defensive weapons their only use is offense and they represent an truly astronomical amount of money.
Really happy to see Brazil at the list and Atlântico being considered an aircraft carrier but we don't operate her as an CV as we don't have airplanes with VTOL capabilities :( .. we did have São Paulo but it's a shameful story to be honest.. personally I think it would be nice to see Brazil with a designated aircraft-carrier but, honestly, due to our "strategic focus" being coastal guarding and UN missions, helicopter-carriers fit the role nicely ( I wouldn't complain with Brazil get VTOL jets tho 😂)

@Ksins1 that made a lot of sense....not 🙄
@@user-vr8wl3re2k A group of Russian and Chinese ships off the coast of Alaska alarmed the Americans, said Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the head of the Pentagon, in an interview with the Judging Freedom KZhead channel. "I think it was a signal for us. That they can also do what we've been doing for years. We swim into foreign territorial waters or move along their borders. We periodically pass the Taiwan Strait on our own warships," he said.
I'm from South East Asian too & Thailand aircraft Carrier surprised me.
Children's large toys
Am a sierra leonean but love the mighty American navy.nimit class and Virginia class submarines the best.
Your rational as to what made the list or not is somewhat confusing. You say many ships are discounted as they are called cruisers or amphibs. Most of the vessels shown were amphibs, and at least one a cruiser 😂
Australia does not use A4 Skyhawks on their LHDs and hasnt for many many years.
We also don't fly the NZ flag !
Ok dear
S/o Newport News Virginia for building and maintaining these beasts
Well I’m American so I wouldn’t say I’m impressed the most because I know the most about them, but Brazil, Thailand, and Italy really surprised me for some reason!
how about Chinese aircraft carrier fujian aircraft carrier being building is capable of catapult system
@@user-ct3qm8wk7j that too had made a lot of news lately, so it wasn’t very surprising!
To describe our Navy US Navy in just a few words is a Kick-Ass Navy. The submarine power alone could destroy this planet.
Oh shush, you’re nothing without your powerful allies.
Your lifestyle is doing that.
@@IamDude2 zackly
Whatever it is we have the most modern one out now and it will actually take a whole country out that's how powerful
Now imagine having 10-11. I never understood the true fire power of a carrier until I was stationed on one. Did I feel safe...F**k yeah I did 😂😂😂
You are living in the past. We are in the age of hypersonic missiles and guess which country is most advanced and has most of those. 11 carriers cost a maximum of 3 missiles each
Brazil don't not have an Aircraft carrier at the moment. Hopefully they will achieve in getting one soon. Such a lovely country. All the very best.
Most newest advanced carriers what Britain has built are top class for such a small country we don't half pull are weight in the western allies if a naval war kicked of it would be America and Britain at the tip of the spear,other European countries need to spend bit more on defence cos a Russia/China alliance would be able to mass produce weaponry in big number a field crazy amount of troups , future wars will be about living space a resources especially with sea level rise which will displace millions
In terms of carrier development, the UK is NOT a "small country". The UK invented many carrier innovations, including the angled carrier flight deck.
@@eddihaskell think we invented the carrier ,not 100 on that though
Yeah it was but the us did try launch a plane from a ship,but Britain used the carrier in ww1
@@chriswatt859 I think three nations could slaim this. First, the UK, for putting the first through - deck carrier in service, the Argus, in 1918. The USA could claim to be for equipping the USS Pennsylvania with a flight deck (not through ship) in 1911 and launching and retrieving fixed-winged aircraft from it. Japan and France could also lay claim. But if you had to pick one nation, it would be the UK.
Sea level rise ? Seriously ? Whackadoodle alert !
Thanks for valuable clarity!
Kuznetzov uses a state of the art coal fired power plant took out of a 1890 steam engine
I'm Impressed by Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales. I'm kinda biased because I'm a Brit, but it's cool that Prince of Wales is an Aircraft Carrier because it's Predecessor was a King George V-Class Battleship during WW2, That ship became the 1st battleship to be sunk solely by Air-power as it was Torpedoed and sunk by the Japanese on the 10 December, 1941 shortly after the strike at Pearl Harbour.
India has two Aircraft carriers, INS Vikramaditya and INS Vikrant -II
INS Vishal on the way.😁

A little out of order ..well....A ***LOT!!***😳😳🤣🤣🤣lol. (No offense meant to 'your' opinion 😊.) You did get #1 correct☺️.
The UK didn't have 4 invincible class aircraft carriers, it had 3, invincible illustrious and Ark Royal, the last 2 I served on
Love the royal navy are aircraft carriers are brilliant prime with super technology but you got to say USA have got such be fleet in there navy with massive aircraft carriers awesome brilliant videos 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲
Very interesting video! Thanks! 🙂👍🇺🇸
How many aircraft carrier can be sunk in an hour the first one missiles that reach them China or Russia
carriers are not that easy to be sunk stupid, Chinese anti-ship missiles will attack US navy significantly
Little correction, Italy has the Trieste aircraft carrier too
That one is currently being built and not operational yet.
No è ' già costruita e ' stata già varata .sta facendo prove in mare .tra 3 / 4 mesi sarà attiva .
Japan once had 20 aircraft carriers but were decommissioned? When? They had plenty during the Second World but they were sunk. Australia does not operate A4 Skyhawks. The last of them were disposed of in the 1980s
1980z and 2023 are too different years mr.
@@simonsymo5361 What are you talking about?
The United States of America air craft carriers impressed the most, because I love my country USA God bless my country
🇨🇳🇷🇺
Hello dear
Of course they count countries for having helicopter carriers (with no ability to launch conventional fighters) while completely ignoring certain countries for having those in addition to larger carriers.
I'm so happy & very proud that the USA has the most number & most advanced & the best in technology in terms of fire power.Long live the USA.
Very informative video!
I saw the Ford when it was docked in Norfolk next to the Eisenhower. The CH-53E looks like a toy helicopter on those ships...
I stand by my navy, for all times. i will always be there for you, sir. united states. 30 years. i am always there for you, sir.
The US has 21 IF you count the Amphibious assaultships and call them LIGHTENING CARRIERS.
Actually no
I like that the USA have the best air craft carrier...please keep the world peace and don't try start wars but try to stop or minimize war
If all these amphibious light carriers count because they have Harriers, then the US LHAs and LHDs should also count. They also can have Harriers or F-35Bs in their complement.
All shown here are modern models. 60 years carriers were different in the end landing of the tracks and housibg control towers 😊. They still the same principles. The side of the planes remaind the same but a lot more powerful engines. Iam seeing they landing and talking up almost every day from where I living.❤😂
India has 2 aircraft carrier and is building 3 one which will be commissioned in 2028
请问你们的第三艘航母将会是什么类型的？依旧是滑跃式航母，还是蒸汽弹射型航母，电磁弹射型航母？
@@onoofo वो कुछ भी हो सकता है। अभी कुछ ज्यादा इसके बारे मे जानकारी पब्लिक नहीं की गई है। जब भारतीय सरकार चाहेगी तब सब कुछ पता लग जाएगा।
@@Motoxicated_Me I have some doubts that India can serve its third aircraft carrier in 2028. India's second aircraft carrier took more than 20 years from design to service. Designed in 1999, built in 2005, and commissioned as an aircraft carrier in 2022. It is difficult for India to serve its third aircraft carrier in the 2120s.
@@onoofo it was the first time for a country like India which has just started defence production without anyone's help india was able to make an aircraft carrier by its own capabilities not by spying & thefts of technology from other countries like your country China does..and in that also China fails all the tym...😂😂 Great things take time kid.. We are not thieves like China...we make our own technology no matter the cost & time come what may...india is capable of achieving anything...with 100% precision 😉
@@onoofo time change
The United States has over 800 military bases worldwide in a bunch of allied countries. That's more bases than every other country in the world all combined.. The Aircraft Carrier is just a piece of a bigger puzzle.
good!the world is much safer!
@@georgesikimeti2184..without them. (Fixed it for you)
The American wasp and America class amphibious warships are more aircraft carriers than half of the list here. They carry f35b fighters aswell.
