Around 312 active nuclear super carriers with 130 on reserve and 20 under construction, 102 Amphibious Assault ships with around 40 being currently built, and around 92 amphibious docking ships with only 15 being extra being constructed.

The Imperial Britannia Navy aims to achieve a vastly larger naval force in order to project power effectively across our Commonwealth Realms.

A lot of them. We maintain 23 Blood Eagle orbital carriers, our largest carrier type. It's built to stand up to FT level ships, but it can't do FTL. They can also launch aerospace craft at the surface and provide fire support.

We have 72 aircraft carriers, but only about 20 of them are active at any given time. The rest are held in docks, because the government sees little reason to upkeep all of them at the same time, with about 20 of them active the peace is more than protected.

A mere 505, with another currently under-going sea-trials and several more in various stages of construction.

Of the total currently in service, just 66 are 'super-carriers', while 307 are classed as 'aviation cruisers' and 132 are so-called 'sea control ships'. Though some of these warships possess a degree of amphibious capability, more heavily specialised vessels designated by the Commonwealth Guard as 'amphibious warships' represent a separate category and are not counted towards the aircraft carrier total, regardless of their own aviation capabilities.

The number of naval aircraft in Soviet service is at present a little shy of 125,000, though significant numbers are rotary-wing vehicles embarked upon surface combatants, or are shore-based aircraft.

Naval aviation remains a relatively low priority. The overwhelming bulk of the Soviet Commonwealth's maritime defence spending is directed into the submarine service, which possesses more than seventeen-thousand boats of all classes. Defence and deterrence generally prevail over the Bourgeois penchant for force-projection.

There are a total of 10 aircraft carriers in the Pavonistadian Military. 8 are active, while 2 are in reserve. 1 is currently being constructed, while 3 more are planned for construction.

Notes
PACCN stands for "Pavonistadian Aircraft Carrier Class Number."

Example of Name and Reason for Name:
PACCN5-[Name] - [reason for giving the carrier the name]

Active
PACCN5-Westardia - made secretly in the Pavonistadian Westardian Islands (shown in red circle)
PACCN5-Houstonasieuffe - name was formed by merging "Houston" with "Asieuffe." Houston and Asieuffe were the top Pavonistadian Naval Commanders during the early 20th century
PACCN5-Vadopolis - produced in a military harbor in Vadopolis, Pavonistade
PACCN5-Ocelot - named after the national animal of Pavonistade and the Ocelot Isles - the ocelot
PACCN5-Seahound - the name was suggested by a 9-year-old boy and it was chosen for the carrier
PACCN5-United - shows unity for all Pavonistadian carriers and Pavonistadians
PACCN5-Figzengrat - "Figzengrat" is a popular name for both military vehicles and people
PACCN5-Manitoba - constructed in Port Manitoba, a city in Pavonistadian Canada. It had finished construction just before Canada was granted some control of Pavonistade's colony

Reserved
PACCN5-Touskon - named after a significant war veteran named Eleanoire Touskon
PACCN5-Peacekeeper - was originally built for maintaining peace via aircraft and sea patrol

Under Construction
PACCN5-Newtown-Boston (formerly named Successor) - original name was given because the carrier would "succeed" previous carriers. After the Newtown massacre and the Boston Marathon bombings, the name was changed to help remember the victims

Planned Construction
PACCN6-Premier - the first carrier of the to-be-commissioned PACCN6 would be sort of a premier
PACCN6-Kastor - "Kastor" is one of the most commonly used male name in Pavonistade
PACCN6-Matteryork - named after Fred Matteryork, the first Pavonistadian President

Royal Navy Aircraft Carriers:

Strike Supercarriers (1000ft +)
4 x Pegasus Class (Pegasus, Phoenix, Harpy, Basilisk)
2 x Valkyrie Class (Valkyrie, Cockatrice)
Strike Carriers (<1000ft)
4 x Minotaur Class (Minotaur, Incubus, Cyclops, Cerberus)
The Strike Carriers are the backbone of the fleet, being the primary offensive arm. Each carrier forms a Strike Group consisting of the carrier, 1-3 cruisers, 2-4 destroyers, 4-8 frigates, and 1 fleet replenishment ship

Sea Control & Command Carriers
3 x Dragon Class (Dragon, Gryphon, Wyvern)
The SCC Carriers were designed specifically as flagships and air support for the 2 Marine Amphibeous Groups (MAG), one carrier assigned to each MAG with 1 carrier in reserve. The embarked air wings are nearly exclusively Marine Aviation.

Escort Carriers
3 x Bastet Class (Bastet, Medusa, Sirena)
While officially classified as Escort Carriers, the Bastet class are smaller versions of the Dragon class, but are only capable of operating S/VTOL aircraft and Helicopters. Their primary assignment is as flagships for colonial patrol sqaudrons.

ASW Helo Carrier
Buccaneer Class (Kraken)
The Buccaneer class is actually a class designed and built in one of the Dominions, the two ships Buccaneer and Corsair being built first for the RLN in 1990 and 1994. The Kraken was ordered and laid down in 1993 for commissioning in 1997 and was sold to the GHRN while building in 1995. It currently serves as flagship for the 1st Hunter-Killer Group (ASW).

Dragon, Pegasus, Valkyrie, and Buccaneer Class images and description may be found HERE. Minotaur and Bastet classes to be added later

All our capital ships maintain some kind of naval aviation capacity even if it is just a squadron or two of Valkyrie variable fighters and a couple of shuttles. So technically all our ships are carriers in a sense.

But we do maintain quite a few purpose built fleet, escort and assault carriers to serve as the flagships for each naval squadron that patrols our territory.

There's still one active vessel in service deliberately designed and configured as an aircraft carrier, usually only used in training exercises and as a mobile base for low-intensity conflicts and non-military missions. There's two ships of the same type and design currently "mothballed" and in risk of being decommissioned permanently. Dedicated aircraft carriers and similar unarmoured surface vessels have been considered obsolete by the Prut Armed Forces since the 50s and probably won't experience any comeback soon. They are simply not compatible with our current warfare methods and doctrines.

However, several other vessels carry aeroplanes as part of their usual contingent and equipment, albeit not in a dedicated role, but as a supplement. Cruisers often act as supplementary carriers when necessary and can accommodate several planes. Every vessel is required to carry at least one helicopter and at least one drone, up to and including submarines, which usually don't carry a helicopter per se, but are designed to allow one to land on them if needed. Out fleet is big enough and spread wide enough to create an intricate network of connected landing strips and bases, thus they jointly form a mobile and decentralised air base without over-concentrating the power projection capability in one vulnerable place or several isolated pockets.

We have two of these:

1. TUC-1 Golden Eagle - the biggest and most powerful aircraft carrier we currently have. Usually used to transport the Royal Plane of the king from place to place, due to it's high security.

2. TUC-2 The K'hadmir - a smaller, light aircraft carrier, used to transport planes from factories to air bases around the country.

The government currently approved of increased military spending, which means more carriers will be built.

All of the carriers are created by The Unified Crown.
