the world it has a displacement of 58 000 tons 28 percent less than the fujan and a staggering 55 percent less than the uss4 the Russian carrier can carry up to 30 aircraft at a time and travel at a top speed of 29 knots the Admiral kuznitzov lacks catapult launch systems and only uses an extra large ramp to set aircraft up for ski jumps limiting the types of aircraft that can launch from its deck number three fujan China 80 000 tons other info classified the brand new type 003 class fujan is the largest conventionally powered aircraft carrier and country's most advanced aircraft carrier in all of the East the fujan is the only aircraft carrier in the East to feature electromagnetic catapults and arrestors to launch and slow down aircraft respectively although it features only three launch systems as opposed to the US's four per carrier with a displacement of 80 000 tons it is the largest aircraft carrier in the world outside the United States only launched a few months ago the fujan remains a mystery with not much information released but what is known is that asides from a conventional propulsion system it is a strong Contender against the American super carriers in virtually every Department number two HMS Queen Elizabeth HMS Prince of Wales United Kingdom 65 000 tons 32 knots HMS Queen Elizabeth 25 knots HMS Prince of Wales 65 plus aircraft 9.4 billion dollars the United Kingdom has two aircraft carriers in service both of the Queen Elizabeth class the lead ship is the HMS Queen Elizabeth followed by the HMS Prince of Wales they are both the largest

class U.S 100 000 tons 30 knots 75 aircraft 13 billion dollars each it all boils down to this the most powerful Aircraft Carrier class in history each aircraft carrier of this class costs a hefty 13 billion dollars with 10 carriers planned for the class that's a total cost of 130 billion dollars multiple times more than the combined cost of every other aircraft carrier mentioned in this video the lead ship of the Ford class the USS Gerald Ford like its siblings has a record-setting displacement of 100 000 tons an actual super carrier powered by two Bechtel a1b nuclear reactors the most Cutting Edge engines created for use on water the super carrier can sail for 25 years at a go without refueling has a peak speed of 30 knots and power the livelihood of over 4 500 people on board at a time the super carrier can carry up to 75 aircraft of whatever form shape or size including unmanned aerial Vehicles both the f-35b and f-35c and many others this versatility is made possible by electromagnetic launch and arrest systems so Advanced they could support 4100 takeoffs and sixteen thousand five hundred arrests before faults without aircraft the USS Ford is still well capable of protecting itself it features four missile launchers 11 guns and could be the first aircraft carrier ever to wield laser weapons in addition to the Ford class carriers the US has the nimitz-class carriers which are of smaller size to the Ford class and also more powerful than any other aircraft carrier in this video with two classes of invincible super carriers that glide through the waves carrying with them the hopes and dreams of the world's most powerful Nation the U.S remains unrivaled in terms of aircraft carriers however according to experts the super carriers would get even more
