I've included the Australian Helicopter carriers, because really....they are aircraft carriers, they just don't have planes on them. They are built by Spain, and the same as the Spanish Juan Carlos carrier. They both have the ski ramps for planes, and could have the set up for planes added, except presently Australia only has helicopters on them as Australia doesn't own any planes that could fly off them (ie the F35-b). So really, rather than being technically designed heli carriers, they are aircraft carriers that only have helicopters on them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathlibrarian ( talk • contribs) 07:31, 7 May 2022 (UTC)
China have launched the third aircraft carrier on 17 June 2022 and the carrier expected to enter the service in 2023. Please consider add more China aircraft carrier on the table. 36.78.156.15 ( talk) 11:10, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
Does Brazil Aircraft Carrier, in the table it says it has - active carrier. However, in the map it shows only helicopter carrier. Hence, it need to revise. 36.78.156.15 ( talk) 14:52, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
"File:BlankMap-World-v3.png" needs to be updated as it is more than three years old. 46.31.112.214 ( talk) 06:41, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
"Amphibious assault ships, also known as commando carriers, assault carriers, helicopter carriers, landing helicopter assault ships, landing helicopter docks, landing platform docks, and landing platform helicopters. Although they have flight decks and look like aircraft carriers, they primarily operate helicopters and do not act as a floating airbase. Examples include the US Wasp-class assault ships, Brazilian NAM Atlântico (A140), Japanese Akitsu Maru escort carrier, and French Mistral class."
Given this exclusion the three named ships should be removed from this article, Brazilian NAM Atlântico (A140) is specifically mentioned as being excluded. All three are included in the List of amphibious warfare ships article
Spanish Juan Carlos I [3] [4] [5]
Brazilian Atlântico [6] [7] [8] [9]
Alternatively the US Wasp and America class ships should be added to the list as they serve the same function as these 3. DefaultProphet ( talk) 21:41, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
I suggest you read or listen to Drone carrier or Aircraft carrier of Iran and Turkey Iri1388 ( talk) 21:31, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
If you're unable to (or just unsure of how to) make an edit to the article, you can request it here on the talk page and a more experienced editor can make the edit for you (provided there's no issue with the request). This time you can just post it in this thread, but for future requests, here and on any other pages, you would start with this template, then post your request in a: "please change 'X' to 'Y" format, and include any sources you may have to support the change. If you need any further assistance, you can contact the Help Desk at any time. - wolf 04:40, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
An aircrtaft carrier is a capital ship able to engage other aircraft which should exclude those ships that only are used for helicopters and UAVs https://www.navy.mil/Resources/Fact-Files/Display-FactFiles/Article/2169795/aircraft-carriers-cvn/ And also the addition of helicopter carriers does not meet the diffenition as stated in article and should be removed.

The Spanish aircraft carrier Principe de Asturias was decommissioned in 2013. Regarding the "Numbers of aircraft carriers by country" table, shouldn't Spain have 0 in service? And then 3 decommissioned? Poopykibble ( talk) 16:17, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
The country that would fall into this category is Russia.
They have an aircraft carrier on paper, but it is non operational and hasn't sailed on its own power in 7 years now...
it also has not done any sort of aircraft launch or recovery operation in an even longer time...
it's disingenuous to have Russia categorised as having an aircraft carrier, because they may on paper. but they really don't in reality.
