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.

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.

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 thought on militaire schools never changed. One can see that I.g. in Afghanistan , Nagorno-Karabach Krim and Ukraine. But in the Ukraine it fell short.
I remember a whole army on 1 road getting slowly shot up by manpads and the first drones. It is safe to say, I believe, Russia has a problem, because overwhelming manpower is nullified by cheap hunting drones, their new stock weapons are in best case so-so, they do have to consider losses now because one cannot tap into pools of men in other states. And never minding about losses. And when the Russian young men are dying, demografic terrible changes will be felt in this comming decade. Remember the Kursk. Its the disaster that shaked the throne.
Getting your proud navy parked on the bottom of a sea and now a lot of irriplaceble bombers bombed of.. so very far from the front. It does eat your credibility away. And former under lying friends as China India Pakistan trying to feest on your weakness.

Economy is hit also. In long term.

So no. Ru ≠ Ussr.

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.

Looking forward to CVN 80.
