Which of the several countries in the world that have aircraft carriers are bought?

India has purchased a Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier from Russia This aircraft carrier is of the same class as China's Varyag that is being tested and renovated It is currently being upgraded in Russia The specific combat effectiveness is unknown If it is compared with the Varyag, it should be between the best because it has Russia's native technology But China is stronger than Russia in terms of electronic technology and composite materials So as far as carrier-based aircraft are concerned, China's J-15 may have a slight advantage Varyag is equipped with a new domestic phased array radar and a large number of new technologies However, because the Indian Navy is a mature technology of Russia, its reliability is a little higher, but the degree of advancement may not be as advanced as that of the Varyag, and the aircraft carrier is not eliminated by the times, but because the Russian Navy lacks money, it has no money to renovate and serve (the transformation and service of the aircraft carrier is a large expense, take the Nimitz-class of the United States as an example, it needs about $1 billion a year to repair and maintain) After all, the Varyag is only a test ship for China's exploration aircraft carrier, and I believe that with China's development and the improvement of its national strength, China's domestic aircraft carrier will surprise the Chinese people.

In addition, Thailand has ordered a light aircraft carrier from Spain, which can carry 6 fixed-wing aircraft (British Harrier) and military *** combat capability is still not to be underestimated.

Currently, nine countries around the world have aircraft carriers: the United States, Spain, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, Italy, India, Brazil, Thailand. China is under construction.

Russian Kuznetsov.

Brazil has a São Paulo (the old French aircraft carrier Fuxi) that can only carry some old aircraft and no longer has modern combat capabilities.

The rest of Japan, Italy, Spain, and Thailand each have 1 or 2 new small vertical take-off and landing aircraft carriers, which are mainly used for anti-submarine warfare and cannot deter the ocean like large aircraft carriers.

India has two old small VTOL aircraft carriers, which are also not modern combat capable.

Britain's three Invincible-class small aircraft carriers have all been decommissioned, and the new generation of large aircraft carrier plans has been postponed, and it is now in a period of no aircraft carriers.

According to the American "Strategic News Network", two aircraft carriers owned by China, the "Shi Lang" and "F", are under construction, and one of them is expected to be launched in 2012. The design work on the aircraft carrier has been completed, and at the moment the focus is on the aircraft carrier type and the organization of operations. The top eight should be able to go in.

Brazil, China, and India are all retired or unable to be raised, and their combat effectiveness is average.

At present, China already has three aircraft carriers: the Liaoning, Shandong, and the latest Fujian, and in terms of the number of aircraft carriers, it has surpassed the once invincible British Royal Navy, ranking second in the world.

Liaoning: The Liaoning was formerly known as the Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier of the Soviet Navy, the No. 2 ship and the Varyag aircraft carrier. In the mid-to-late 1980s, the construction of the Varyag in Ukraine was interrupted by the collapse of the Soviet Union.

In 1995, the Varyag was withdrawn from the Russian Navy and sent to Ukraine.

In 1999, China purchased the Varyag, which arrived at the port of Dalian in March 2003. On April 26, 2005, it was delivered to Dalian Shipyard for re-installation and continued construction by the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

In September 2012, it was renamed Liaoning, delivered to the Chinese People's Liberation Bureau and released the navy, becoming China's first modern aircraft carrier, and successfully landed in November 2012.

Shandong Ship: The Shandong Ship (port number: 17, referred to as Shandong Ship) of the People's Liberation Army Navy by the Chinese is China's first domestically designed aircraft carrier that is completely independently designed, built and supported, marking the Chinese Navy officially ushering in the era of domestic aircraft carriers.

On April 26, 2017, the launching ceremony of China's second aircraft carrier and China's first domestic aircraft carrier completely independently developed and manufactured was held at the Dalian Shipyard of China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation. On December 17, 2019, with the approval of the ** Military Commission, China's first domestically produced aircraft carrier was named "Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy Shandong Ship", with the port number "17".

Fujian Ship: The Fujian Ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy (ship number: 18, referred to as the Fujian Ship) is the first catapult-type aircraft carrier designed and built by China completely independently, with a straight through long flight deck, equipped with electromagnetic catapult and blocking devices, and a full load displacement of more than 80,000 tons.

On June 17, 2022, with the approval of the ** Military Commission, China's third aircraft carrier was named "Fujian Ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy", with the port number "18".

The United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France, India, Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Thailand, Spain, of which the United States has up to eleven ships, and now Japan also has aircraft carrier ships during World War II!

Currently, 9 countries in the world have active aircraft carriers, with a total of 26 aircraft carriers, the details are as follows:The United States has the largest number of aircraft carriers, with a total of 12 aircraft, including the "Nimitz," "Eisenhower," "Carl Vinson," "Roosevelt," "Lincoln," "Washington," "Stennis," "Truman," and "Reagan." The "Kitty Hawk" class ships are the "Kitty Hawk", the "Enterprise" and the "Kennedy".

Russia has 1 aircraft carrier, named "Kuznetsov". Britain has two aircraft carriers, HMS Excellence and HMS Ark Royal. France has a total of 2 aircraft carriers, namely "Charles de Gaulle" and "Clemenceau".

Italy also has two ships, the "Garibaldi" and the "Cavour". Brazil has two aircraft carriers, the Minas Gerais and the Foch (built in France). India has a total of 3 aircraft carriers, namely "Vikrant", "Virat" and "Admiral Gorshkov".

Thailand currently has one aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier "Gakri Nalubet". Spain now has 1 aircraft carrier, named "Prince Asturias"! Now many old aircraft carriers have been decommissioned in times of economic crisis.

Britain's three Invincible-class small aircraft carriers have all been decommissioned, and the new generation of large aircraft carrier plans has been postponed, and it is now in a period of no aircraft carriers.

In the ranking of the number of aircraft carriers in the world, not to mention the United States, China does not rank in the top three, and the second is very surprising.

Today we will discuss that aircraft carriers are the embodiment of a country's military power, which country has the most aircraft carriers?

Let's talk about it in detail.

First, as the hegemon of the world, the United States is far ahead of the world in terms of science and technology and economic development, and it is naturally not willing to be left behind in the field of aircraft carriers. The United States has the largest number of aircraft carriers in the world, with a total of 11. At present, the United States has 11 aircraft carriers in service, and 2 aircraft carriers are under construction, and if they are successfully built, the number will reach 13, which is far ahead of the rest of the world.

The second USS Ford aircraft carrier" was built in 2017, this aircraft carrier is currently the most advanced aircraft carrier in the United States, and it is also the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world, with a cost of up to 13 billion US dollars.

USS Eisenhower, the second ship of the American Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The ship's name is inherited from Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th American ** who participated in World War II, so it is also often nicknamed "Ike" like Eisenhower**

Third, an aircraft carrier, referred to as an "aircraft carrier", is a kind of large surface ship that uses carrier-based aircraft as the combat leader, and can be used for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land. It usually has a huge flight deck and ship islands, most of which are located on the starboard side. Aircraft carriers are currently one of the largest, most complex and most powerful aircraft carriers in the world, and a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength.

Modern aircraft carriers are usually divided into large aircraft carriers, medium aircraft carriers, and small aircraft carriers according to the size of their full load displacement; According to the power plant, it can be divided into nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and conventionally powered aircraft carriers. Up to now, aircraft carriers have become a symbol of a country's comprehensive national strength. Relying on aircraft carriers, a country can exert military pressure and conduct operations on the ground far from its homeland and without relying on local airfields.

Summary

A country's military strength is the fundamental guarantee for its economic development.
