American supercarriers are the face of the U.S Navy and have enabled powered projection far off from the U.S homeland.
The U.S Navy has 10 Nimitz class supercarriers and is in the process of deploying Ford class supercarriers.
Each of these has a displacement of 100,000 tons, and an overall length of 332.8 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective, it is about 3 football fields long.
These supercarriers are nuclear powered and hence have unlimited range.
The U.S is the only nation to operate so many supercarriers and is more than the rest of the world put together.
China had big plans for its aircraft carrier program and there is intense pride associated with it.
Chinese political leaders, as well as military planners, wanted to slowly equal the U.S Navy when it comes to aircraft carriers.
But this doesn’t seem to be going as per plan.
On November 28, Minnie Chan of the South China Morning Post reported that Beijing was scrapping plans for a fifth and sixth nuclear-powered carrier, once it finished construction of two new steam-powered vessels.

Everyone’s economy is effecting spending. Every country is looking at a smaller more effective military. We have downsized, to a more effective Navy. However, it’s still a big stick with surgical precision.
