India has ONE carrier, and one under construction. (A third is planned, and it isn't nuclear powered.)
UK has ONE, and another under construction.
None of these are over 65,000 tons.

We have 11 active and two under construction....
all are over 100,000 tons.

Nuclear powered A/C carriers are kind of silly IMO. A conventional AC carrier can do the exact same thing as a nuclear carrier at a much reduced cost to operate and to build.

The air wing doesn't care how the snipes are boiling the water down below decks....
