The current generation USS Nimitz supercarriers (the largest ever built) require a crew of about 3200 sailors, and an aircrew of about 2500.
The next-generation Ford-class supercarriers reduce this number through automation by almost 20%, to roughly 4700 crew total.
For comparison, the prototypical WW2 aircraft carrier, the USS Essex class, had a total crew of 2600.

Italy have 2 Aircraft Carriers,
United Kingdom have 2 Aircraft Carriers,
Brazil have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
Spain have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
France have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
India have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
Russia have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
China have 1 Aircraft Carrier,
Thailand have 1 Aircraft Carrier.
Hope this helped!
Carrier fighter vs carrier fighter. Aircraft carrier duels. Carrier planes (naval aircraft) have folding wings/or wing-tips for shipboard operations.

There is no air craft carrier in Canada.
Brazil currently operates 1 ex-French aircraft carrier. This 32,000 ton carrier , the Minas Gerais, was designed and built in the 1960's and operates with versions of the A4 Skyhawk and various helicopters.
It wasn't an aircraft carrier, but a battleship. The battleship used was the USS Missouri.
Typically, an aircraft carrier is home to close to 5,000 people. This includes ship's crew and air wing personnel.
There is a flight deck on an aircraft carrier but, it is not an aircraft carrier as there are many other ships that have flight decks on them. The amphibious assault ship is a good example.
there are many diffrent kinds of carriers, a super carrier can hold 113 aircraft
WWII carriers had a complement of about 2,500 officers and men.
It's very difficult to measure an aircraft carrier in pounds. They are about 70,000 to 96,000 tons.
There are 24 hour kitchens on most of the decks of an aircraft carrier. They have to feed over 5000 people three times a day any time of the day due to 24 hour shifts.

In a fleet there would be as many as 50+ aircrafts. It depends of it is a aircraft carrier or some other base.
