The comparison has since become a bit less so lopsided, with the introduction of the two Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers in the UK.
The US is still the ruler of the high seas though: Between 10 Nimitz-class carriers, 1 Ford-class carrier (soon to be 2), 8 7 Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, and 2 America-class amphibious assault ships, the US Navy has 20+ carriers total. Most countries can barely afford just one.
One of the best BTFOs Ive ever seen. Such a classic.
