    I'd go with the Charles de Gaulle. It has a more impressive array of aircraft than the Kuznetsov does.

    Does an aircraft carrier have some kind of metaphorical equivalent of a big willy that we could compare? At attention. At ease. Waved in the air.

    Why does the U.S. Navy have ELEVEN aircraft carriers? What is the technical term for an aquatic gravy train?

    I believe you're looking for "Pentagon Weapons Program".

    Hmmm, my previous estimate was based on the fact that the Charles de Gaulle can carry up to 40 Super Etendard attack aircraft, each of which can carry an Exocet anti-shipping missile. Further research reveals that Exocets would likely be ineffective against ships the size of aircraft carriers.

    The eleven US aircraft carriers are more than exist in all nations in the rest of the world COMBINED (10). Naturally, the US views parity with the Rest-of-You-Who-Talk-Funny (e.g. Swedes) as unacceptable and outrageous. That's why we are building 3 more aircraft carriers -- the Gerald R. Ford class.

    We will eventually have enough military hardware to...to...to...Well, I don't know. But it will be SPECTACULAR once we have enough.

    This is why "terrorist" has become the foulest epithet in the English language. Imagine our indignation when someone REFUSES TO FIGHT FAIR BY BUILDING AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER AND SAILING IT OUT WHERE WE CAN DESTROY IT.

    The nerve of some people. 😛

    Don't forget though the Admiral is also a missile cruiser! And the Su-27 (or whatever the naval one is) is no joke, even loaded light as it has to be.
