Nimitz class: Nimitz, Eisenhower (on RCOH status right now, though), Vinson, Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington, Stennis, Truman, Ronald Reagan. The USS George H. W. Bush is building in the yards with a 2008 delivery date.
Kennedy class: USS John F. Kennedy
Enterprise class: USS Enterprise.
I *think* the USS Kitty Hawk (name ship of the class) is still in service (permanent forward deployment in Japan), while Constellation (of the same class) has been decommissioned.

I compare what the Chinese currently have to what we have, with pictures and capabilities on the site listed above in post one.
Globally, there is no comparison. But locally, at least at the outset, in the litoral waters of the China Sea and over Taiwan, there could be a hotly contested fight in the next 5-10 years.
