while you demonstrate this alarming level of ineptitude why should we consider your other points?
Statements like that only hurt your cause, and for your information the U.S is nowhere near as influential as the British empire was.
You do realise it covered more than 3/4 of the globe?
In 1900 Edward VII, reigned over 410,000 million people, something which the US simply could not accomplish even if it wanted too.
Back on topic you do also realise that China is forecast to become the worlds biggest shipbuilding nation over the next 5 years with new Ports in construction all the time and current one's being upgraded to deep water facilities. e.g Shanghai
There is no reason to think that the Chinese with the best equiped and largest port base in the world could not build a world class aircraft carrier.

Why only think about china?
The Indians are supposed to have 290 million millitary.What about the Kiev class aircraft carrier India bought?(Admiral Gorsh...something)
In my opinion I think they should spend that money on their people instead of making a carrier that's outdated anyway.

To all the arrogantly ignorant :
By deluding yourselves you only exhibit your ignorance. What further proof do you want of American power ??
You don't need to capture 3/4 of the world if you have to be powerfull. Even though the British empire was monumental it was formed by deceit and opportunistic imperialists, that why they came to america for help when the Third Reich came knocking on their doors. America had to save their necks or they would all be "hailing HITLER" .You would never find america asking any country to help defend america form an aggressor. What happened to the army that helped conquer 3/4th of the globe??
What are you saying?? 410,000 million i.e 410 billion!! Pardon me, Lord Ignoramus but in the 21st century where nature is swept away in this tsunami of humanity their are only about 7 billion people. Do you get your facts form MAD!!
Also we have ideologically conquered more than 3/4 of the globe. America is so blessed that people all over the globe want to come to us. Why do you think that hundreds upon hundreds of immigrants come to america?- To follow the american dream, to follow the american way, to lead the american life. ( with the exception of Al-qaida )
Never in the History of the world has a nation attained so much POWER. Wake up and smell the cofee. America did exactly what it wanted in IRAQ and even the forecasted "worlds biggest shipbuilding nation" did not say a damn thing. Because they can't , "their with us or against us" as the president would put it. Nobody wants to and can stand up to America. Accept it as you would that without america their would be no internet and no lightbuld and no Mcdonalds or Starbucks.
Now even though China builds a ship the size of NYC it takes more than a huge tub to make an aircraft carrier. We have got the planes, the experience, the technology and the best sailors in the world. No one can attain that level of superiority by just building many ports which can build big ships. To be on top you have to be an innovator , china only hopes to match up to american standards which it has no hope of doing because they don't have the experience nor the tech to accomplish this feat. America has taken nearly fifty years to make today's carriers what the are, do you really think that a country can just build one overnight!!
It isn't ignorance nor arrogance on my part for making the statements i made, but the stark realization of the world we live in today. America has lasted more than 300 years i know it won't last forever as america's exsistence is not a totality. But i am sure what america stand for will lasts for ever.
