One US Aircraft Carrier Has A More Powerful Air Force Than 70% Of All Countries

So does that mean we could control 70 percent of the world?

No, it means we could control 70% of the world with one aircraft carrier alone.

Yeah that's what I meant I was just tired of typing...

Cool vid. Good to know that we have a powerful military presence still.

That's also probably "larger than" 70%. But a pisspot 85-ship airforce will be mostly trainers, transports and cargo birds. On a combat power basis, a single carrier air wing is more powerful than 90+% of the world's air forces.
