[edit] An interesting image that could be useful for this article
Taken from the first page of a google image search for aircraft carriers: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/carriers.gif I'm not sure how up to date it is and if whoever made this image would allow it to be used, but it's certantly useful for showing the comparative strength of the USN in comparison to other navies. Maybe if someone could make a similar image to this which could be used on wikipedia freely and follows the content of the article.Boyinabox 20:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Description
On which grounds is the Principe de Asturias labeled 'unique'? At a quick glance I would claim that Chakri Nareubet, the Invincible class, Giuseppe Garibaldi and Viraat all are comparable (if not similar) ships. Uhu219
[edit] Amphibious assault ships
Do amphibious assault ships qualify as carriers? They are listed here as carriers for several countries, but those of the US Navy, such as Wasp and Tarawa class ships, are not, even though they are defined as carriers in the main aircraft carrier article. Should those be listed here, and should there be any differentiation here between conventional, fixed wing carriers and amphibious assault or helicopter carriers? Dafoomie 13:17, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Carriers under construction
Since the title of this page is “List of aircraft carriers in service” (bold added for emphasis), I added a subheading “Under construction” for the last two U.S. Navy carriers. They are not actually in service. ●DanMS 05:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
