1. they have a nuclear aircraft carrier other than usa no one else does
2. they have nukes actually the fifth largest nuclear stockpile in the world
3. permanent member of un security council to have veto power on resolutions that can actually use military forces to enforce it means you must know what you're doing with armies |

nvm charles de gaulle isnt a supercarrier but found this on wikipedia "Charles de Gaulle (R91) is the flagship of the French Navy (Marine Nationale) and the largest Western European warship. She is the tenth French aircraft carrier, the first French nuclear-powered surface vessel, and the first and so far only nuclear-powered carrier completed outside of the United States Navy." |

the us has more aircraft carriers than the rest of the world combined
second most is italy with 2
also apparently thailand has one
and usa brazil and france are the only ones with carriers that can launch something that requires a longer takeoff roll than the harrier |

also america is the only country to have hosted a basketball game on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier
i found this out because there are carriers named after presidents and admirals and then theres this one named after some guy i'd never heard of so i click on it and wikipedia says "oh and the first ever college basketball game on a carrier was on this ship" |
