What carriers does he think they have spare? Britain only has the one, maybe two. France has one, italy has two. Anyone else in Europe managed to get one in the last few years?
5 carrier groups isn’t really enough for force projection. That’s why we have 13 super carriers and 18-20 diesel carriers, we just call them Helo ships.
Oh, I guess Russia also has .5 - .75 carriers, but as it’s only left port once, I wouldn’t be counting on any help there either.
Fair enough, though I think that one should be counted under museum ships or perhaps its own category since it’s arguably less functional than even those.
Ah, this explains why Trump is getting so angry that UK and Europe won’t deploy carriers to the middle east!

I thought the Ruskie one finally broke badly enough that it’s effectively scrap even to them?
Well yeah, I was just trying to include all possible European carriers.
