		The Thai aircraft carrier HTMS Chakri Nareubet which has spent little time at sea since being commissioned in 1997 (the year of the Asian Economic Crisis) due to her high operating costs.
		She was the largest ship ever built at the time of her launch in 1858, and had the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers around the world without refuelling.
		However, her hold was later gutted and converted to lay the successful 1865 transatlantic telegraph cable, an impossible task for a smaller vessel.

	Airliners.net Military: Aircraft Carrier - No Of Aircraft
		The French nuclear carrier Charles de Gaulle is a 41k ton vessel that carrys an airwing of 35 -40 aircraft.
		The US carriers are between the 97k to 100k ton vessels with a normal airwing of 46-48 fixed wing fighter craft (mix of F-14, F/A-18A/B/C/D, and now the F/A-18E/F) plus a squadron of 8 S-3's, a flight of 4 EA-6B's, a flight of 4 E-2C Hawkeyes, plus 2 C-2 COD aircraft.
		Their carrier development was in extreme baby steps, first with the Moskva-class helicopter carriers and then with the Kiev-class tactical aviation cruisers (an odd hybrid that was guided missile cruiser from the superstructure forward, but also had a flight deck for Yak-38 Forgers).

		Second, the flight deck of the Melbourne was kept intact and used for pilot training in carrier takeoffs and landings (though a static flight deck would, of course, have been of limited utility, since it could not replicate the pitch and roll of an aircraft carrier at sea).
		Construction of a carrier or conversion of a secondhand vessel in a domestic yard would also be extremely costly, especially since much of the technology would have to be purchased abroad, quite aside from the new fighters, helicopters, early-warning aircraft, escort surface vessels, and screening submarines required.
		Carrier groups in the future would need ships with phased radar arrays, and the sagacious thing to do would be to build the ships first and then the carriers (just as a person builds a foundation before the roof).

	New Technology and Medium Navies
		Against sea targets, aircraft offer large numbers of repeat strikes, as long as they can survive terminal defences, and as long as the targets are within range of their bases-and, as a matter of survivability and endurance, as long as they need not spend much time searching for those targets.
		At that time, carrier aircraft generally could not expect to sink battleships, and the carrier's reconnaissance reach was not such as to guarantee it against being surprised by a fast battleship running in during darkness.
		The conclusion is that, absent aircraft carriers, the next best platform for the primary naval missions-for strike and for power projection-is a large surface combatant with substantial inherent capability, which can take care of itself and also of other ships under its protection.

		The final operator of an aircraft carrier, in the face of enormous economic pressures, is Brazil. Whilst its rival for South American sea power, Argentina, has given up the race due to its faltering economy, Brazil struggles on with the ex-British World War II carrier Minas Gerais.
		[141] If the Thai carrier is testament to the riches of that country, then the Brazilian persistence in maintaining a form of carrier capability is testament to their ingenuity. However, neither have any strategic value and are sufficient to add only to their respective nations’ maritime conceit and not practical power projection ideals.
		The last aircraft carrier to be rendered mission incapable by enemy action was the Japanese escort carrier Kaiyo on 24 July 1945, sunk in Beppu Bay.

	The Command Post - Global Recon - Pirate Threat to Aid Getting Through (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The UN Joint Logistics Centre, setting up operations in Jakarta, said a request for more military aid was likely to include a call for helicopter carriers for Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
		It would also need five air-traffic control units and fixed-wing aircraft capable of short take-off and landing and 100 boats or landing craft.
		I suspect the Royal Thai Navy's Helicopter Carrier Chakri Nareubet (Princess Royal) may be making an appearance - but as she's been inactive since the Asian Meltdown due to lack of funds, probably not for a while.
