Aircraft Carriers Are Essential For Navies Because Of Their Ability To Transport Aircraft. However, Few Countries Have At Least One. Let’s See How Many Each Has.
Brazil has one aircraft carrier called Atlântico. It started as a helicopter landing ship in the British Royal Navy, was acquired by Brazil in 2018, and is now the only aircraft carrier in South America.
China has three aircraft carriers: the Liaoning, Shandong, and Fujian. The Liaoning was originally a Soviet aircraft carrier that China modernized and commissioned in 2012. The Shandong, built in China, was commissioned in 2019 and is fully operational. China has completed the construction of a third aircraft carrier, the Type 003 Fujian, which is expected to enter service in 2024.
France has one nuclear-powered aircraft carrier called Charles de Gaulle, commissioned in 2001. It is the most capable outside of the U.S. Navy and has been used in various combat operations. France plans to replace it in the 2030s.

From empty land to a high-end house, wooden construction uses a lightweight system, metal structure for the foundation, ventilated ceramic cladding, and special windows to create an efficient and comfortable living space throughout the year.
India has two aircraft carriers: INS Vikramaditya, commissioned by the Soviet navy and modernized by India, and INS Vikrant, the first aircraft carrier built in India, commissioned in 2022.
Italy has two aircraft carriers: Giuseppe Garibaldi, commissioned in 1985, and Cavour, commissioned in 2009. Cavour can carry up to 12 F-35B aircraft and several helicopters.
Japan has two aircraft carriers: Izumo and Kaga. Originally, they were helicopter destroyers but were converted to operate F-35B fighters in response to China’s increasing naval capabilities.
Russia has one aircraft carrier: Admiral Kuznetsov, commissioned during the Cold War. It is the largest conventional aircraft carrier in the world but has faced maintenance issues.
Australia technically has two aircraft carriers, but they are primarily used for helicopters and landing missions. With some modifications, they could operate F-35 fighters.
Spain has one aircraft carrier: Juan Carlos I, which is also an amphibious assault ship. It can operate Harrier aircraft and helicopters.
Thailand has one aircraft carrier: HTMS Chakri Naruebet. It is the smallest aircraft carrier in the world but has been neglected and rarely leaves port.
Turkey has one aircraft carrier: TCG Anadolu, very similar to Spain’s Juan Carlos I. It can operate unmanned aerial vehicles and helicopters.
The United Kingdom has two aircraft carriers: HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales, commissioned in the last decade. They are the largest ships ever served in the Royal Navy.
The United States has 11 operational aircraft carriers. Ten of them are Nimitz-class, and one is from the new Ford class, featuring cutting-edge technology and the capacity for up to 75 aircraft.
Few countries possess aircraft carriers, but those that do, like China and the United States, invest heavily in them to maintain their naval superiority.


Quando veremos a evolução do homem, que tristeza se falar em máquinas de guerra ainda. O dinheiro disso acabaria com a falta de emprego no mundo.
Na minha opinião um Porta Aviões representa status de grandeza econômica de países ricos, mas não representa segurança nenhuma depois que inventaram as tecnologias de mísseis hipertônicos que estão sendo empregados amplamente Na China e na Rússia, Até mesmo porque um Porta Aviões é muito caro e com o dinheiro de um Porta Aviões daria para equilibrar as forças armadas de qualquer país com arsenais poderosos tanto de mísseis hipertônicos como tbm de lançadores móveis e plataformas diferenciadas, com esse dinheiro daria para comprar vários caças avançados para a proteção territorial se caso os políticos fossem inteligentes, O Brasil precisa desse tipo de tecnologia e não Porta Aviões porque isso é coisa do passado.
A tecnologia brasileira ainda é muito escassa e esse país não pode viver a vida toda dependendo de tecnologia de terceiros, o Brasil não pode viver a vida toda dependendo do crescimento do Agro e agropecuária em geral ao invés de se expandir vendendo tecnologias igual a Embraer que deveria assumir a Avibrás e se tornar um grande celeiro de armamentos sofisticados para exportações a países amigos.
Tecnologia exigem ciência, isso exige investimento em educação, coisa que o Brasil não faz, somos o país de um povo com mente subdesenvolvido. Só pensamos no individual, por isso somos assim, e iremos continuar por muitos anos, um país que tem cota para entra em universidades, deixas seus alunos que tem a mente mais evoluinda ir se desenvolver em outro país, não tem como crescer
Corretíssimo.
