I don't think so, but I think the French do. I believe they are painted pink and fly multiple white flags. Send them. That will scare Hugo.

No they don't. Very few countries do. Other than the US only, United States, United Kingdom, France, India, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Italy and Thailand. Spain, Italy, India, Thailand, and the UK only have Harrier Carriers. The Russians only have one CTOL carrier, and I don't know if it's operational.

No.

They have some quite new and shiny ships - but they are a bit under-equipped to defend their islands.

4 submarines some old fregates and 4 new fregates that are more or less destroyers by their role.

But they are embedded in several multi-lateral defence treaties. Like NATO.

So they kind of - have carriers.

Frigates and Walrus class Subs. Oh, and the US Navy via NATO.
