What do Brazil, Egypt, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and Thailand need with aircraft carriers? Especially fucking Italy, why does it have the second most aircraft carriers in the world?

aircraft carriers are needed for offensive warfare

Money laundering, you dumb mutt.
They write off a lot more than what they're worth. How else are you going to get that Samsung money?

The 15 planned are planned to replace others in the 24. The way it works is that an aircraft carrier is planned to operate for 50~ years and be replaced, so some of those 15 carriers are "planned" in like 2040 and have nothing more planned because it's assumed we'll have better technology by that time that can't be meaningfully predicted.

Egypt has disputes with Turkey over gas fields in the Mediterranean. Also Egyptian officials say Ethiopia changed their tone in the negotiations after we bought them. And for power balance with Israel too.

nothing wrong with oceanic countries operating carriers.

Carter Russell
Turkey is an aggressive nation and needs deterrents

The most important economy of the most important sea of the world (France is mostly on the Atlantic) has aircraft carriers and the american don't know why

we have another one being built to be honest

We no longer have aircraft carriers, they were scrap used for training to acquire new ones in the future.
The Navy preferred to build nuclear and normal submarines
Nathaniel Powell
They cool
Parker Nguyen
That table is incorrect. We currently have 2, with one on the way, expected to replace the oldest of the two we have.
Levi Peterson
I meant, who the hell would you ever use them on? Italy has no enemies in the Mediterranean, does it?
Gavin Scott
USA with 15 planned, next highest is India with 5. The drop off there is insane
Egypt has more aircraft carriers than China and India lmao
Do these countries have legit carriers or are they pseudo aircraft carriers like Japan's.

Ours got decomissioned, we only have a Helicopter carrier for humanitarian missions and a Assault Ship, if that fits in the "aircraft carrier" category.
Don't forget that the Navy still keep their Skyhawks updated, they don't wanna lose their fixed wing doctrine.

You know Libya shot down an Italian airline in the 80s

It's also a way to push strategic, that's why Fincantieri (owned by ITA goverment) now will build warships for you as well:

Egypt has a border agreement with Cyprus to explore gas in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Turks say that it's not legitimate and try to undermine it

You really don't know why South Korea would need a carrier when their enemy is right next door?
