Tomcats never flew off the Midway, they were too big. Phantoms, Crusaders and Hornets were the typical jets carried aboard.

The tonnage of the Russian aircraft carriers is misleading because it does not include the weight of her ever present, escort tug boats.

[@thomasobrien5320]

I probably would have included the USS Lexington on this list considering what monsters it and the USS Saratoga were prior to WWII. Both were 888 ft long and close to 40k tons.

[@TheWizardGamez]

The USS Forrestal, (as old as it is) has a bigger strike wing than most "carriers" today. Personally my book for what makes a carrier a carrier is that it must be able to cover all air needs, meaning AWACS/AEW(Air Early Warning), Anti-air(all non-ballistic), anti-sub, and full load launches. Frankly, the majority of aircraft carriers on this list are just that, ships that carry aircraft, in the same sense they are only better than an arleigh burke because they have a larger airwing(if tomahawks and seasparrows dont count). most ships lack the AEW, and Full load launch capability, meaning that they cant be in their own battle group, moving them from being the tip of the spear to the shaft merely supporting it. The point of an aircraft carrier is first and foremost as a deterence, but its tough to call it one when a US or French carrier battle group could locate and intercept you(insert foreign battle group) before you even knew that there was a threat.

[@Sun_Simp]

they all lack shields

[@CorePathway]

All needs in one ship = compromise and limitations. Just look at the Brits: they designed their carriers to do a Falkland Islands campaign, about as much as they will bite off again on their own 1v1. As such it can carry hundreds of Royal Marines, but at the cost of ski-jump instead of CATOBAR.

[@Axispaw1]

FINALLY! Someone actually got the displacement of the HMS QE class correct.

That's amazing my step dad, here in Virginia got to work on the USS Nimitz and Theodore roosevelt. Pretty epic.

[@ZeroRaven87]

I find it interesting the amount of modern carriers that utilize the ski-jump design.

[@Thomashorsman]

I think it’s because it just works, why spend billions on a launch system when a ramp does the same thing

[@battlecraze]

Amazing work as usual.

[@InfoRanker]

Thanks!

[@matthewwelby9182]

Great work on the video! Small observation, the Midway never had F-14s deployed on it. She went from F-4s directly to F/A-18s because of the height of the hanger bay. She did test Tomcats and recovered a couple of CVN-65's in the 80's. Again, well done video! Thank you!

[@InfoRanker]

Thanks for the info!

[@kadenze6176]

just goes to show how terrifying the Kido Butai must have been, their ships being larger than some modern carriers

[@WojciechWachniewski-st1zm]

...and I have here found the total number of heavy carriers used during the fleets of the WW2. There were 72 hulls, with one-third of them lost. 76 hulls more were carriers cancelled, uncompleted or put to service already after the war. Within the latter figure are included e/g the Graf Zeppelin, the Aquila and many others. ♍🇵🇱👍

[@WojciechWachniewski-st1zm]

@@InfoRanker You know, carriers are my favourites. A true wonder od the last century; multi-faced class of warships. One would consider them a Japanese class because of Shinano and Akagi, somebody else - a British class because of Hermes and Eagle, third person - an American class because of Essexes. To me the class is... German, because of Graf Zeppelin. ♍👍

IDK if im wrong, but shouldnt the essex have a steel deck instead of a wooden one?

[@fullbreaker2731]

The flight deck was composed of Douglas Fir laid athwartships, with a finished thickness of 3 inches and 6 inches in width. Moisture content could not exceed 20% at time of laying the deck. Margin planks were composed of teak with the same dimensions. The Douglas planking had to conform with the “West Coast Lumbermen’s Association” with regards to “ship decking” quality.

[@ingurlund9657]

You have a massive weight difference between Liaoning and Kuznetsov when they're the same. Are you going with empty ships or fully loaded? Because ships load up thousands of tons. US supercarriers load 20,000 tons. If you're going with some ships loaded weight and other ships empty weight then your list is pointless.

[@frankfleming1103]
