A bit surprised to learn France has only 1 carrier.
“A bit surprised to learn France has only 1 carrier.”
France screwed up by selling their two Mistral class carriers to Egypt. Turns out they could have used them.
Most countries do not have carriers and are not building them. With the development of hypersonic missiles, lasers, drone swarms, quiet submarines, etc. maybe they are seen as obsolete. After all it was the battleship that made dreadnoughts obsolete, and in turn carriers made battleships obsolete.
