Well, we do happen to be the world's sole superpower and glad its us
I thought Russia would have had more carriers; same with the UK. Kind of funny to see Brazil has one.

What I find suprising are the countries that actually have one carrier. Thailand? South Korea? Spain? Where are these guys operating that they find they need a carrier?

Russian Kiev class carriers are missing from the list (even if they are mothballed at Murmansk).

Coincidently I just watched a special about the USS Reagan on the History Channel and they mentioned that it's the newest of the Nimitz type carriers.

Isnt that the one sold to India as detailed in the accompanying article? The illustration sort of reminds me of the Pre-WWI era world where prestige was measured in metric tons with dreadnoughts.
