It is worth noting that among these countries, only six countries – the United States, China, Russia, France, the United Kingdom and India – have aircraft carriers in the true sense of the word, that is, with a full load displacement of more than 50,000 tons and a beveled deck design. While other countries, such as Thailand, Brazil, Australia, Egypt, Japan, South Korea, etc., their aircraft carriers or amphibious assault ships are considered "quasi-aircraft carriers" because they are closer in design and function to aircraft carriers, but have smaller displacement and size, and may not have the full set of facilities required for a complete aircraft carrier.
