    You're a nobody if you don't have an Aircraft Carrier ...

    It's like the early twentieth century when a Country without a
    Battleship didn't deserve a mention in a World Atlas.
    So I was surprised to note the number of Countries that you wouldn't
    think would have a Carrier, has one, or maybe even two.
    China and Russia have joined the club and Britain has made a
    comeback with two biggies. But the prize goes to America which with
    the introduction of the monstrous Gerald Ford has in excess of 20.
    This one is to carry 9,000 troops plus the thousands of Seamen.
    Maybe a better name for it would be The USS Babble.

    The US Navy is set to launch the world's most advanced aircraft carrier into the Atlantic ocean today - it will house 9000 troops from nine countries as well as 20 ships and 60 aircraft
