The United States, Russia, France and Brazil have aircraft carriers which can operate conventional fixed-wing combat aircraft (modified which a device to be launched from a catapult and a tail-hook to trap a wire when landing).\n\nThe United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Thailand and India can only operate vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft (VSTOL), also known as Harriers, from their carriers. The United States Marine Corps also operate Harriers from their carriers.\n\nAll these carriers also operate helicopters.

Actually they are not currently building aircraft carriers of their own....just studying the possibilities.\n\nThey are most likely going to add more of the casino carriers.  They already have 4 of them, Russian ships such as the Kirov and the Kiev.\n\nYup, a copy Nimitz is sitting in a lake now.  Strange huh?\n\nHere it is:\n\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&q=China&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=31.10531,121.015059&spn=0.004547,0.010729

We sell airplanes to other countries, why not Russia?  Don't worry about it.  Cuba probably has a few 29's flying around.  Our Navy needs something to play with from time to time.  Just ask the Libyans.  As for who is Hugo Chavez...he is Venezuela's Fidel Castro.  Pro Communist and Anti-American President.
