Subdivided flight deck, CO2 use, elevator placement. Angled flight decks after the war. Probably lots of other design detail stuff that doesn't get mentioned.
US didn't really have any learning issues during ww2 as they did fairly extensive prewar testing & design workups. The main thing lacking that they experienced during the war was non-armored flight decks. They even went with the escourt carriers knowing of their limited capabilities just to inscrease the rate at which they could produce floating airports.
speaking of $5B carriers, why are we spending $2.5B on aegis missile destroyers?
why not just build another carrier?
And you need more than one carrier they have to be in rotation for maintenance.Dont forget destroyers as well need to accompany the carriers to defend against submarine threats.

The centrepiece of the Indian carrier battle group is currently the INS Viraat, an updated Centaur-class light carrier originally built for the Royal Navy as HMS Hermes, which was laid down in 1944 and commissioned in 1959. It was purchased by India in 1986. India will commission a second aircraft carrier, INS Vikramaditya, in 2012 and will follow this with a third carrier, INS Vikrant 2, in 2015. Whilst INS Vikramaditya is a former Soviet Kiev-class aircraft carrier, the Admiral Gorshkov, the Vikrant will be the first indigenous Indian aircraft carrier. India eventually will have 3 Carrier battle groups by 2017 (Viraat, Vikramaditya, Vikrant 2).[8][9]
The Indian Navy's CBG usually consists of two destroyers (usually of the Delhi class, previously Kashins were used) and two or more frigates, (usually a combination of Brahmaputra, Talwar or Shivalik classes) and one support ship.
more importantly, how many toilets does it have?
So they launched the ship before it was done?
Just like a Boeing Dreamliner...are you better now?
India is minus one submarine:

Pentagon's last order for US Army...made in China....
A carrier can't defend itself from guided missile attack like an Aegis can.
Think of a carrier as a floating runway and an Aegis as a floating SAM battery.
The U.S. navy is the greatest navy ever to float! It's more powerful than the next 13
navies combined! The U.S. currently has 19 Aircraft Carriers of which 11 are constantly
in motion.
I'm Canadian and I think Canada should have 2 carriers. We're big enough and rich enough
to do that now.
Edit: If you really want to compare the rest of the world to the US, take a look at the US NAVY and compare it with the rest of the world.
Compare with this:

and know that the Chinese have a single aircraft carrier that is a copy of the POS in the link.

That thing looks stupid
What good is an aircraft carrier if you cannot protect it from 1980's French anti-ship missiles?
Now, instead of using an expensive fighter jet with expensive missiles their enemies will just buy inexpensive Chinese drones to take it out.
it is so easy to spot a pakistani...
I'm surprised your prophet hasn't declared internet forums to be un-islamic yet..
