The Fujian (18) has an estimated displacement of about 80,000 tons, while the USS Gerald Ford (CVN-78) has a displacement of around 100,000 tons, making it the largest aircraft carrier in the world.

In terms of propulsion, Fujian (18) uses a conventional propulsion system, likely steam turbines, while the USS Gerald Ford (CVN-78) uses nuclear propulsion, offering virtually unlimited range.

Both carriers feature electromagnetic catapult launch systems (EMALS) and advanced arresting gear, enhancing their air operations.

The Fujian (18) can carry approximately 40 aircraft, while the USS Gerald Ford (CVN-78) can accommodate around 75, providing greater air combat and support capabilities.

A unique view of the Canadian aircraft carrier HMCS Bonaventure. Seen from the stern, details of the flight deck are easily seen.

Taken during the late 1950s, Bonaventure would have carried roughly 30 aircraft. These aircraft would have consisted of McDonnell F2H Banshee fighters, Grumman S-2 Trackers (Known as CS2Fs in Canadian service) for anti-submarine work, and Sikorsky H-19 Chickasaw helicopters (known as the HO4S-3 in Canadian service).

Not strictly a damage control exercise, this was her heeling trials to examine if she stayed within limits on heeling and that everything stayed where it should and functioned as it should

Liaoning was CV-16 and Shandong CV-17.

Exactly! I missed CV-1 through CV-15.
