This list of aircraft carriers contains aircraft carriers listed alphabetically by name. An aircraft carrier is a warship with a full-length flight deck and facilities for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft, that serves as a seagoing airbase.

Included in this list are ships which meet the above definition and had an official name (italicized) or designation (non-italicized), regardless of whether they were or were not ordered, laid down, completed, or commissioned.

Not included in this list are the following:

"In commission" denotes the period that the ship was officially in commission with the given name for the given country as an aircraft carrier as defined above.

  • German aircraft carrier II: was a proposed conversion project for the incomplete French cruiser De Grasse. The ship was laid down in November 1938 and lay incomplete in the Arsenal de Lorient shipyard when Germany invaded France in May 1940. In 1942, Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine decided to convert the cruiser into an auxiliary aircraft carrier with a capacity for twenty-three fighters and dive bombers. Work ceased in February 1943, however, due to concerns with the ship's design, a severe shortage of material and labor, and the threat of Allied bombing raids. In 1945, the ship was returned to France and was eventually completed as an anti-aircraft cruiser in 1956 by the French Navy<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>

The two planned Italian carriers Template:Ship and Template:Ship were seized by the Germans after the Italian Armistice but not completed.

United States

[edit]

Template:Main

The United States Navy is a blue-water navy that is the world's largest navy by tonnage and has the world's largest fleet of nuclear powered aircraft carriers. The carrier fleet currently comprises the (CATOBAR) Template:Sclass and (CATOBAR/ EMALS) Template:Sclass supercarriers. These carriers serve as the centerpieces and flagships for the Navy's Carrier Strike Groups, with their embarked carrier air wings and accompanying ships and submarines, which strongly contribute to the US ability to project force around the globe. The following is a complete list of all the US Navy's carriers and classes to date, and their status:

Active

Under construction

Planned

Reserve

  • (none currently in reserve)

Retired (preserved as museum ships)

Retired (other)

Retired (scrapped)


Retired (scuttled)

Sunk

Cancelled before completion

Escort aircraft carrier Template:Main

The United States Navy also had a sizable fleet of escort aircraft carriers during World War II and the era that followed. These ships were both quicker and cheaper to build than larger fleet carriers and were built in great numbers to serve as a stop-gap measure when fleet carriers were too few. However, they were usually too slow to keep up with naval task forces and would typically be assigned to amphibious operations, often seen in the Pacific War's island hopping campaign, or to convoy protection in the war in the Atlantic. To that end, many of these ships were transferred to the Royal Navy as part of the US-UK lend-lease program. While some of these ships were kept for a time in reserve after the war, none survive today, as they have all since been sunk or retired and scrapped. The following are the classes and stand-alone ships of the US Navy's escort carriers;

  • Template:Sclass (45 ships, 33 went to the RN)
  • Template:Sclass (4 ships)
  • Template:Sclass (50 ships)
  • Template:Sclass (19 ships went into service, 4 were cancelled)
  • Stand-alone ships;
    • No USN name given (AVG-1/BAVG-1) – went to the RN as HMS Archer (D78)
    • No USN name given (AVG-2/BAVG-2) – went to the RN as HMS Avenger (D14)
    • No USN name given (AVG-3/BAVG-3) – went to the RN as HMS Biter (D97), then later to the French Navy as Dixmude
    • No USN name given (AVG-4/BAVG-4) – went to the RN as HMS Charger (D27), later returned to USN as Template:USS
    • No USN name given (AVG-5/BAVG-5) – went to the RN as HMS Dasher (D37)
    • No USN name given (BAVG-6) – went to the RN as HMS Tracker (D24)
    • Template:USS

Amphibious assault ship Template:Main

The United States Navy also has several full-deck, amphibious assault ships, which are larger than many of the aircraft carriers of other navies today.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref> These ships are STOVL-capable and can carry full squadrons of fixed-wing aircraft, such as the V/STOL AV-8B Harrier II and the STOVL F-35 Lightning II, along with numerous rotary-wing aircraft. Their primary purpose though, is usually to serve as the centerpiece and flagship for an Expeditionary Strike Group or Amphibious Ready Group, carrying US Marine Corps Expeditionary Units and their equipment close to shore for amphibious landings and departures. The following are ships and classes of US Navy amphibious assault ships;
