How many carriers does the US have?

[StSanta]

A bit curious; one carrier alone caries more than twice the amount of planes found in the entire Danish air force. As such, it's a *real* force to be reckoned with.

How many does the US have, and what kinda sizes?

15, but I'm not sure. The "Ronald Reagan" is still being built.

Eh Santa? I'm getting the feeling that you're starting to suck up to us Americans, you planning to move here?  

First the Football question... now telling us how good our Navy is... hmmm...

Actually, we have more than we need now.

Would you Danes like to purchase a complete carrier battle group?

I think we can cut you a deal that will make you the envy of Europe!

 

[mietla]

they don;t have enough sailors to man a PT boat, let alone the carrier.

The entire population would have to live on it.  

[J_A_B]

At least a dozen active fleet carriers, probably more like 14 or 15.  There are also several under construction.

That is NOT including those ships equipped only with helicopters or VSTOL aircraft.

We also have a LARGE number of inactive "mothballed" carriers.

"The entire population would have to live on it"

Sounds like a good idea.  

[1776]

Toad, I find it hard to visulize the Danish as a super power, heheeee,lol, roflol!!!!!

[StSanta]

Toad, that'd be COOL!

ONE US nuclear carrier, and we'd be able to DOMINATE Europe.

We'd need some support ships too.

Hah, wouldn't that be great. Once upon a time, Denmark was the strongest seafaring nation in this region. The the Brits beat us. A US nuclear carrier would bring back the olden days.

1776, just wait. We've been big, small, big, small so many times now. We'll rule the waves again, some day.  

If Toad can get the deal through, it'll be sooner than anyone expects  .

Toad I bet the Chinese would be interested.  Didn't they buy some Rooskie CVs?

[Boroda]

Funked, they already bought half of our Pacific Fleet as a scrap metal, and one of their last bargains was a good old Kiev. It was out of duty since 1994, ant was rusting in Murmansk.  

If Chinese want a modern carrier - they should better talk to Ukrainians that dismatled Varjag on the Nikolayev shipbuilding plant...

Santa,

I think I can get this done for you, support ships and all.

As a gesture of good faith, send me $2 million (USD) and I will begin the paperwork.

You should see some amazing results about 2 days after I cash the check!
