Aircraft Carrier Size Comparison 

This took a couple weeks for me to produce. Any like are greatly appreciated! Thanks for watching. :-)

The tonnage of the Russian aircraft carriers is misleading because it does not include the weight of her ever present, escort tug boats.

I probably would have included the USS Lexington on this list considering what monsters it and the USS Saratoga were prior to WWII. Both were 888 ft long and close to 40k tons.

Its better because theres A LOT MORE CARRIERS. These models look awesome

The USS Forrestal, (as old as it is) has a bigger strike wing than most "carriers" today. Personally my book for what makes a carrier a carrier is that it must be able to cover all air needs, meaning AWACS/AEW(Air Early Warning), Anti-air(all non-ballistic), anti-sub, and full load launches. Frankly, the majority of aircraft carriers on this list are just that, ships that carry aircraft, in the same sense they are only better than an arleigh burke because they have a larger airwing(if tomahawks and seasparrows dont count). most ships lack the AEW, and Full load launch capability, meaning that they cant be in their own battle group, moving them from being the tip of the spear to the shaft merely supporting it. The point of an aircraft carrier is first and foremost as a deterence, but its tough to call it one when a US or French carrier battle group could locate and intercept you(insert foreign battle group) before you even knew that there was a threat.

FINALLY! Someone actually got the displacement of the HMS QE class correct.

I find it interesting the amount of modern carriers that utilize the ski-jump design.

That's amazing my step dad, here in Virginia got to work on the USS Nimitz and Theodore roosevelt. Pretty epic.

Great work on the video! Small observation, the Midway never had F-14s deployed on it. She went from F-4s directly to F/A-18s because of the height of the hanger bay. She did test Tomcats and recovered a couple of CVN-65's in the 80's. Again, well done video! Thank you!

...and I have here found the total number of heavy carriers used during the fleets of the WW2. There were 72 hulls, with one-third of them lost. 76 hulls more were carriers cancelled, uncompleted or put to service already after the war. Within the latter figure are included e/g the Graf Zeppelin, the Aquila and many others. ♍🇵🇱👍

just goes to show how terrifying the Kido Butai must have been, their ships being larger than some modern carriers

Hms Prince of Wales is heavier than the sister ship..I believe they are 75'000 ,maybe more

any Yamato class aircraft carriers?(shinano)

Amazing work as usual.

I appreciate the video, if you ever remake this, do not that you left out some carriers. Shinano, Wolverine, Ranger, and others. Those are who I can think of right now...I'd gladly go into more detail if this gets expanded apon.

That is awesome!... I been on 3 aircraft carrriers I been interested ever since .. thanks from NZ 👍🇳🇿

where is the SHINANO?

I love alternate history, try to imagine the Gerald Ford Class in WW2, Just one could have done it all.

hi could you make comparison between human,taller and wider building with aircraft carrier

Heavy sigh...I liked it but where is the Kitty Hawk? :) Not only was she the first in her class (and the ship I served on) but instrumental in the development of the more modern supercarriers.

What about shinano?

Where is Thai's HTMS Chakri Naruebet?

I like how a russian aircraft carrier is "kiev"

This channel deserves 7 billion subscribers

Eurofighters on brasilian carrier? Should be A-4

Why are Helicopter Carriers included but none of the US Helicopter Carriers included? Tarawa Class etc.

Why weren't the LEXINGTON-class listed, they were bigger than most Japanese carriers...And why not the KITTY HAWK-class either...Bigger than Russian and Red Chinese carriers...

I still can't believe that the graf zeppelin is a real warship or not

Where are the babes on the Jetski ?

Admiral Kuznetsev, like Kiev, was built in Ukraine (Nikolaev city), but now they are fighting against the one who built them ...

Seems you forgot the Kittyhawks… Conni..America…Kennedy.

You didn't add Shinano

and Shinano?

IDK if im wrong, but shouldnt the essex have a steel deck instead of a wooden one?

isnt kiev and vikramaditya the same thing

INS Vikrant aircraft carrier length 263 All the details in it are false

wheres the shinano?

Uss Gerald R Ford in ptfs too

' what happen american USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) is not show this video

What about habaika

Good one, however some aircraft carrier's are off-model and unproportioned.

You forgot about USS Enterprise (CV-6) as well as USS Hornet (CV-8)

You have a massive weight difference between Liaoning and Kuznetsov when they're the same. Are you going with empty ships or fully loaded? Because ships load up thousands of tons. US supercarriers load 20,000 tons. If you're going with some ships loaded weight and other ships empty weight then your list is pointless.

You really think USS enterprise has such ugly huge bridge? Find better model, or create yourself(if you can)

I had to stop watching when you skipped Chakri Nairuebet the Thai aircraft carrier. Definitely a 👎🏼

The tonnage of HMS Queen Elizabeth is so big?

I guess they forgot the IJN Shinano.

que genial , aunque alguna medidas no coincidían igual estuvo bueno . 👍

2:53 KIEV ? Built in Ukraine?

It is INS VIKRANT Not Viraat😠
