Wrong information.

US has 10, UK has none.

It's correct. The US currently has 11 carriers, one hasn't yet been commissioned, but is operational and 10 are in service and deployable.

USS Enterprise is still around, but has been retired and rendered unfit for military service through a deactivation process, so it isn't counted.

Ten Nimitz:

One Ford:

With Ford replacing the Big E:

Ford has been launched, is operational, but is not yet commissioned.

Same as Zumwalt:

one hasn't yet been commissioned, but is operational

If the ship is not commissioned, means the ship is not in service, hence not operational.

At a minimum, on the day on which the ship in question is to be commissioned the crew will report for duty aboard the ship and the commanding officer will read through the orders given for the ship and its personnel. If the ship's ceremony is a public affair the Captain may make a speech to the audience, along with other VIPs as the ceremony dictates. Religious ceremonies, such as blessing the ship or the singing of traditional hymn or songs, may also occur. Regardless of the traditions in question, once the ship is officially placed in commission the crew begin the practice of keeping watch, which will continue for as long as the ship in question remains actively in service with its parent nation.

Once a ship has been commissioned its final step toward becoming an active unit of the navy it now serves is to report to its home port and officially load or accept any remaining equipment (such as munitions).


Regardless of the type of ship, the brief but impressive commissioning ceremony completes the cycle from christening and launching to bring the ship into full status as a warship of her nation.

Just for fun! What are the chances US transfers one Nimitz class to India. What happens geo-politically if it does? (I faintly remember some discussion in that regard. With USS E)

I know we have scant experience in operating a 100,000 T carrier. So, let's not get into that discussion.
