No, that's not people in the military. It's available manpower, or the full number of persons that could be conscripted if necessary.

Oh ok. Well that's a pretty stupid metric to use.

lol @ CANADA

If it wasn't for our big military hockey stick they'd have been overrun years ago. We should name our newest carrier GORDIE SUCKS just to piss them off.

We import almost 3 times as much oil from Canada as we do from Saudi Arabia. They are our largest source of foreign oil by a long shot. Pissing them off, as fun as it may be, is probably not the best idea.

I do think it's impressive that we own 45% of the world's aircraft carriers though.

Even more impressive when you look at the number of Nimitz class carriers compared to the rest of the worlds large carriers.

The Kitty Hawk, JFK, and Enterprise are all gone. So is the Tarawa, Saipan, and Nassau.

There are a ton of other inaccuracies on that graphic. Also the original list from the OP is suspect since they list Japan as having a carrier, even though it's only for helicopters. Under that definition we have 9-10 LHA's LHD's that aren't counted.

This was a funny ass movie!

north korea's subs are battery powered, so they're very quiet but can't stay submerged for very long. American subs can stay under for as long as possibly needed.

USA: Our aircraft will blot out the sun!

Russia: Then we shall fight in the shade... with tanks.
