Nimitz-class aircraft carriers: The Nimitz-class carriers are a class of ten nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service with the United States Navy. These carriers are a class of the largest warships ever built and have been the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s carrier strike groups for several decades. The USS Nimitz (CVN 68) was the lead ship of the class and was commissioned in 1975. Despite their age, these carriers remain potent assets with their extensive capabilities.

1. Gerald R. Ford Class, USA. The title of the world’s biggest aircraft carrier belongs to the US Navy’s Gerald R. Ford Class battleships. The first carrier in this class, USS Gerald R. Ford, was commissioned in May 2017, and the four remaining announced vessels of this class are under construction.

Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers: The Gerald R. Ford-class carriers are the newest and most advanced aircraft carriers in the U.S. Navy. The lead ship, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), was commissioned in 2017. These carriers feature numerous technological advancements, including electromagnetic aircraft launch systems (EMALS) for launching aircraft, advanced arresting gear (AAG) for aircraft recovery, and enhanced automation to reduce crew requirements.

They also boast increased adaptability, where modifications may happen in service or under development. Additionally, other countries, such as China and India, have been investing in their aircraft carrier programs, further increasing the potential capability of their respective carrier groups.
