The situation of aircraft carrier possession in various countries should be up to date

The countries that currently have aircraft carriers are:

United States: It now has 11 aircraft carriers, all of which are nuclear-powered supercarriers, namely "Enterprise", "Nimitz", "Eisenhower", "Carl Vinson", "Stennis Nice", "Roosevelt", "Washington", "Truman", "Lincoln", "Bush", and "Reagan". The "Enterprise" is expected to be retired this year, and the "Ford" that succeeded it is expected to enter service in 2013.

UK: Now only the aircraft carriers "Excellence" and "Ocean" *** remain.

France: There is only one "Charles de Gaulle".

Russia: There is only one "Kuznetsov".

India: At present, only the "Vilante" and "Vikrant" are available, and the "Vikramaditya", which was purchased from Russia, is expected to enter service by the end of 2012. After the entry into service of the Vikramaditya, the Vilante is expected to be decommissioned.

Italy: has three ships: "Garibaldi" and "Cavour" and "Cavour".

Spain: Owns a ship "Prince of Asturias".

Thailand: Own a ship "Chakri. Nanube".

Argentina: owns a ship "May 25".

Brazil: Owns a ship "São Paulo", which was formerly known as the French "Fosse".

South Korea: It has an aircraft carrier "Dokdo".

Japan: It has three "Osumi"-class aircraft carriers, one "Hyuga" and "Ise" of the 16DDH class, and the larger 22DDH is under construction and is expected to enter service in 2014. Although these "aircraft carriers" of Japan and South Korea are not called aircraft carriers, they are veritable first-class aircraft carriers.

If the "Hyuga" and "Ise" are equipped with vertical take-off and landing fighters, their combat effectiveness will be greater than that of light aircraft carriers such as Britain and Italy.

There are also American "Wasp" class and "Tarawa" class amphibious assault ships can also be regarded as an alternative medium-sized aircraft carrier, because they all have a through-through flight deck unique to aircraft carriers, with island-like buildings, which can take off and land fighters vertically.

China: The Varyag, which was purchased from Ukraine, has been renamed Liaoning and was put into service with the Navy on September 25.

The way it happens.

At present, a total of 21 active aircraft carriers from 10 countries are distributed in the world's main waters.

As the world's only "superpower," the United States has a total of 11 aircraft carriers in its navy, the Chinese Navy's "Liaoning".

Spanish aircraft carrier "Prince of Asturias".

Brazilian aircraft carrier "São Paulo".

French aircraft carrier "Charles de Gaulle".

British aircraft carrier "Excellence".

Italian aircraft carrier "Cavour".

Italian aircraft carrier "Garibaldi".

Russian "Marshal Kuznetsov".

Thai aircraft carrier "Gakri Nalubet".

Indian aircraft carrier "Virat".

Japan's 2 *** quasi-aircraft carriers, Hyuga, Izumo, Russia currently does not have aircraft carriers in service, there is one in overhaul, the United States has 10 Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service, France one, India 1 second-hand, self-proclaimed domestic but the service is enough, and another one is in use, China 1 training aircraft carrier, Liaoning "60,000-ton medium conventional" from Ukraine's iron sheet, Russia has cruisers belonging to the aircraft carrier class, the United States does not.

The eleven aircraft carriers of the United States are all powered aircraft carriers, one from Russia, one from Italy, one from Spain, one from Thailand (all three countries are light aircraft carriers), one from the United Kingdom (and one with two new aircraft carriers, the Prince of Wales, and the Queen Elizabeth II, the latter of which is ready to be sold to India), one from India (which will be equipped with Admiral Gorshkov in the future), one from France, one Charles de Gaulle, two new quasi-aircraft carriers from Japan, and the destroyer Dokdo *** from South Korea (both quasi-aircraft carriers).

At the beginning of the 21st century, a total of 12 countries in the world had aircraft carriers: Argentina, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Brazil, India, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as Japan and South Korea.

There are dozens of navies around the world in service. The United States has the largest and largest number of aircraft carriers in the world, and the aircraft carriers of other countries are much smaller than those of the United States.

United States: A total of 13 large aircraft carriers, including the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers (all decommissioned), the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, and the USS Enterprise aircraft carriers (11 are in active service, and the latest CV N-78 "George Bush" has not yet formed a combat capability).

United Kingdom: The Invincible-class aircraft carrier (also known as the "Victorious" class) is the Royal Navy and the first light aircraft carrier in the world to use a skid flight deck.

France: USS Charles de Gaulle, Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier.

Russia: aircraft carrier USS Kuznetsov.

Italy: USS Garibaldi, USS Count Cavour, USS Cavour.

Spanish aircraft carrier "Prince of Asturias".

India: The USS Virat was originally HMS Athletic of the British Royal Navy. The ship was purchased from the United Kingdom in April 1986.

Thai aircraft carrier "Gakri Nalubet".

Japan: Osumi-class transport ships that are close to aircraft carriers in size and combat capabilities. Helicopter destroyer USS Hyuga - 16DDH

South Korea: USS Dokdo.

Brazilian aircraft carrier "São Paulo".

Argentina: The aircraft carrier May 25 was originally a Royal Navy Giant-class aircraft carrier, which was resold to Argentina by the Netherlands in 1968.

China: It has purchased aircraft carriers such as the Varyag, Kiev and Minsk from the former Soviet Union, but none of them have been used for military purposes.

The standard fleet carriers are 11 Nimitz-class heavy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States, a conventionally powered Kuznetsov-class medium-sized aircraft carrier in Russia (the same class as the Varyag that China bought for scrap iron), a Charles de Gaulle-class medium-sized nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in France, and India's Admiral Gorshkov (converted from the Soviet Kyiv-class heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser). The rest are light aircraft carriers and quasi-aircraft carriers that only have the name of aircraft carriers.

2017 ranking of countries in the number of aircraft carriers in the world.

At present, there are 13 countries in the world that have aircraft carriers, namely: Argentina, France, Italy, Russia, Spain, Brazil, India, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as Japan, South Korea and China.

1. United States: 12 ships.

2. United Kingdom: 3 ships.

There are currently three ships in service, namely the "Invincible", the "Excellence" and the "Ark Royal".

3. India: 3 ships.

They are all conventionally powered aircraft carriers, namely "Vikrant", "Virat" and "Marshal Gorshkov" (built in the Soviet Union). The aircraft carrier built by itself has been 6 years old and has not yet been launched.

4. Italy: 3 ships.

Light aircraft carriers, namely "Garibaldi", "Count Cavour", "Cavour".

5. France: 1 ship.

The French Navy is now in service with only one nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the 10,000-ton Charles de Gaulle.

6. Russia: 1 ship.

How many aircraft carriers does Russia have? Russia is the largest country in the world, but don't think that Russia has the number of aircraft carriers comparable to the United States, in fact, like France, it has only one aircraft carrier in active service, and the aircraft carrier "Marshal Kuznetsov" with a displacement of 10,000 tons is also in service.

7. China: 2 ships.

Everyone is very familiar with the 10,000-ton "Liaoning" aircraft carrier, which is also the latest aircraft carrier power to join the 13 countries, but China plans to build 6 supercarriers in the future, and is currently building the second and third, and the launching ceremony of the first domestic aircraft carrier (that is, China's second aircraft carrier) was held at the Dalian shipyard on the morning of April 26.

8. Spain: 1 ship.

There is 1 aircraft carrier, the light aircraft carrier "Prince of Asturias" with a displacement of 10,000 tons.

9. South Korea: 1 ship.

The South Korean Navy also has only one light aircraft carrier "Dokdo" with a displacement of 10,000 tons in service.

10. Brazil: 1, "São Paulo" aircraft carrier.

11. Thailand: 1 ship.

In August 1997, the 11,485-ton Gakri Nalubet light aircraft carrier was purchased from Spain.

12. Argentina: 1 ship.

May 25 "aircraft carrier. Purchased from the Netherlands in 1948 and later upgraded several times.

13. Japan: claims to have 3 ships.

Now it claims to have 3 "transport ships" of the "Osumi" class, which are close to aircraft carriers in size and combat capabilities. Another 1 so-called - 16DDH "helicopter destroyer" "Hyuga". Under the protection of the Americans, Japan violated its own constitutional provisions, and although these are not called aircraft carriers, they are actually as effective as aircraft carriers.

Needless to say, it is the United States, which has eleven aircraft carriers.

Countries in the world that currently actually have aircraft carriers.

1 United States. The U.S. Navy currently has 12 large aircraft carriers of the Type 2 and Class 3 classes, including 3 Kitty Hawk-class conventionally powered aircraft carriers, 1 enterprise-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and 8 Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. Among them, except for the "Kitty Hawk" which is home at Japan's Yokosuka Naval Base, which is located overseas, the home ports of the remaining 11 ships are all five major aircraft carrier bases in the United States.

The US Navy stipulates that in peacetime, each aircraft carrier should have a standard training, duty, and rest cycle of 18 months, and each aircraft carrier should occupy 1 3 hours. Therefore, under normal circumstances, 1 3 of the 12 aircraft carriers currently in service in the US Navy are on duty or undertaking combat missions in overseas frontier areas such as the Gulf region, the western Pacific, and the Mediterranean, 1 3 are conducting training at sea, and another 1 3 are resting in ports or entering factories for repair and maintenance. Of course, in wartime, the training, recuperation, and maintenance cycles will be shortened, and the number of aircraft carriers capable of carrying out combat missions will be about 50 to 1 times larger than in peacetime, and 6 or 8 aircraft carriers may be assembled for operation.

It should be the United States. Is Britain down and Russia down? And India. It should be China down.

China's aircraft carriersThe construction of aircraft carriers in China is the dream of several generations of Chinese naval people, a symbol of a great power, and it is very necessary. The Chinese aircraft carrier is a model of the same name, which was publicly exhibited in Hong Kong on July 4, 2009 along with nearly 100 other domestically produced modern armament models, attracting many people to **. This model of the aircraft carrier was built in a scale of 1:350 and became one of the highlights of the exhibition.

The shape of the model is very similar to the Russian-made "Varyag" aircraft carrier. According to the model, the ship is 306 meters long, 73 meters wide (including deck), with a standard displacement of 53,000 tons, a full load displacement of 67,000 tons, a draft of 10.5 meters, and a speed of 30 knots. There are about 40 carrier-based aircraft.

<> "Another country will have an aircraft carrier."

After all, in modern society, countries with aircraft carriers can be counted with both hands, so if they have an aircraft carrier, it undoubtedly symbolizes that a country's comprehensive national strength has risen to a completely different echelon from the past, and will become synonymous with world-class.

There is a weapon of the country, and its appearance is about to change the international status of a country, and that is Turkey's "Anadolu" aircraft carrier. However, building a successful aircraft carrier is extremely difficult, and it is also one of the most important criteria for testing a country's manufacturing strength, which requires the assistance and cooperation of many aspects, and also invests a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, and the work cycle is also very long, so it is not possible to build it if you want to.

But it took only nine months for Turkey's aircraft carrier to come and go, which is astonishing, and no country in the world has ever done it faster, so why is it that everyone underestimates Turkey's industrial level and production?

It turns out that this aircraft carrier is different from the traditional original aircraft carrier, its predecessor is the Spanish "Juan Carlos I" amphibious assault ship, so the design of the "Anadolu" ship type is also quite peculiar, because in addition to the hangar, it also has a corresponding dock on the hull, as well as equipped with landing craft and amphibious vehicles for combat use.

Therefore, when Turkey started it, in fact, this aircraft carrier was already very complete, Turkey only needs to do some modification and design according to its own preferences, or improve and upgrade some systems and ** and it is done, no wonder it was able to announce the creation of success so quickly.

The aircraft carrier has a total length of 232 meters, a width of about 32 meters, and a maximum displacement of 28,000 tons, judging from the analysis of this data, it has surpassed the Italian "Garibaldi" light aircraft carrier, but this does not change the "Anadolu" aircraft carrier is still a standard light aircraft carrier, but the Turkish Navy must still stick to its original intention, and will treat and use the aircraft carrier as the core of the country's future fleet, so this aircraft carrier can be described as a great responsibility, It carries the great expectations of the whole country.

Even if the "Garibaldi" is positioned as a light aircraft carrier, once it is commissioned, it will become the largest warship Turkey has ever built, which is undoubtedly a huge and unprecedented threat in the field around the country, and Turkey has always tried to hold together with NATO countries, if you think about it, the story behind this is not so simple, and I don't know how Russia on the other side of the ocean thinks about the sudden threat.
