How many planes do our largest carriers carry? Around 80 at full load.

Look here -- nice read.
The USS Reagan e.g., is nearly 40% larger, faster, more lethal and better protected. AND much better at AirOps ;-)

Depends. say 85 to 90, depending on which one and the type of aircraft.
Also keep in mind that US carriers are often, but not always nuclear, for added space for fuel.
