The United States leads the world when it comes to aircraft carriers in service. No country comes close, and that includes the United Kingdom. The chart below offers the correct number for the United States, but is off by 1 or 2 carriers when it comes to Russia and India. But it still makes the point.
Part of the reason for this carrier disparity can be attributed to military spending. Check out what the U.S. spent in 2014 compared to the next 7 nations combined.
Think about this the next time Donald Trump or Ted Cruz tries to tell you our nation's military is in trouble.
