Is that chart supposed to be for all of NATO's assets, because the U.S. Navy currently has 71 active submarines and 11 Carriers in service.
I understand that the Royal Navy has 9 subs and 2 carriers currently, so that alone would make 80 subs and 13 Carriers, not counting other nations.

The point is russia is trying to make everybody think of it if it was as it was in 1950. It has done so since the fall of the war and collaps of the S.U.All the players in NATO vs. Moscow (USSR/CIS/Russia) have reduced the size of their forces, though the Poles are rocking it now. Today's Russian, US, German, British, etc. militaries are a tiny fraction of their size during the height of the Cold War. Let's compare the US military from 1985 to 2024, courtesy of (or responsible for any inaccuracies) ChatGPT.

Looking forward to CVN 80.Not sure about any law, but currently, the USN has 11 fleet carriers in active service, 1 ready to enter service (CVN- 79), two under construction and 2 on order.
The USN also has 12 Assault Carriers (LHA/LHD) currently active, which then brings the total to 23.
