See my site WORLD WIDE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS and look at the Kuznetsov and the Varyag. 65,000 tons, 50 aircraft.

He. He's a Russian ship.

Although I don't know if the Chinese call their ships "he" or "she", the Russians call them "He".

The Varyag is nearly 3 times the size the UK's current V/STOL carriers.The PRC was in the running to buy the British Harrier till it's disastrous invasion of Vietnam in 1979.
