Talk:List of aircraft carriers

message: I've included the Australian Helicopter carriers, because really....they are aircraft carriers, they just don't have planes on them. They are built by Spain, and the same as the Spanish Juan Carlos carrier.
They both have the ski ramps for planes, and could have the set up for planes added, except presently Australia only has helicopters on them as Australia doesn't own any planes that could fly off them (ie the F35-b).
So really, rather than being technically designed heli carriers, they are aircraft carriers that only have helicopters on them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathlibrarian (talk • contribs) 07:31, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed this, as no source was provided for them being aircraft carriers. The RAN refers to them as LHDs, as do all other sources I've seen. The above rationale for adding them to this list is ill-informed as they are not actually capable of operating fixed wing aircraft without substantial modifications. This article discusses the scope of the work that would be needed, for instance, noting that it "would not be easy or cheap". Nick-D (talk) 06:51, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

message: Does Brazil Aircraft Carrier, in the table it says it has - active carrier. However, in the map it shows only helicopter carrier. Hence, it need to revise. 36.78.156.15 (talk) 14:52, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: The HMS Ocean was classified as a Landing Platform Helicopter before it was sold to Brazil.  No modifications were made to add aircraft carrier capabilities and the Brazilian Navy operates no fixed wing aircraft capable of taking off from the Atlântico.

message: "Amphibious assault ships, also known as commando carriers, assault carriers, helicopter carriers, landing helicopter assault ships, landing helicopter docks, landing platform docks, and landing platform helicopters. Although they have flight decks and look like aircraft carriers, they primarily operate helicopters and do not act as a floating airbase. Examples include the US Wasp-class assault ships, Brazilian NAM Atlântico (A140), Japanese Akitsu Maru escort carrier, and French Mistral class."
Given this exclusion the three named ships should be removed from this article, Brazilian NAM Atlântico (A140) is specifically mentioned as being excluded.  All three are included in the List of amphibious warfare ships article
Turkish Anadolu[1][2]
Spanish Juan Carlos I [3][4][5]
Brazilian Atlântico [6][7][8][9]
Alternatively the US Wasp and America class ships should be added to the list as they serve the same function as these 3. DefaultProphet (talk) 21:41, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not believe the list is conforming to the standards set out earlier in the article. The Amphibious Assault Ship TCG Anadolu is also listed. 27.125.131.191 (talk) 04:34, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spanish aircraft carrier 

message: The country that would fall into this category is Russia. 
They have an aircraft carrier on paper, but it is non operational and hasn't sailed on its own power in 7 years now... 
it also has not done any sort of aircraft launch or recovery operation in an even longer time...
it's disingenuous to have Russia categorised as having an aircraft carrier, because they may on paper. but they really don't in reality.
