how many aircraft carriers in the world
There seems to be a total of 22 active aircraft carriers in the world today, 11 of which belong to the USA. Wiki lists have a discrepancy on the UK, one giving 2 active carriers and another 3. The Royal Navy claims 3 active and 2 under construction. http://www.chinfo.navy.mil/navpalib/ships/carriers/cv-list1.html.
