Duplicate table
Please stop adding the table to this article, as it is already on the List of aircraft carriers by country. While I have no love for tables, I can see the need for it on one page. I can't see the need for the identical table on TWO pages, however. The table lists the info by country, while this page lists the carriers alphabetically. If however, as you say, this list is a duplicate of the other page, then one of the pages should be AFDed. I hope that you will engage in discussion about further changes to these articles that blur the differences between them, and reduce the need for extra pages. - BillCJ (talk) 08:59, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try to tackle this project when I get the chance. I have an  idea cooking up that should help merge several of these pages of aircraft carrier lists into one table... which really is the best way to put it all together.  As long as there's no objections, I'll be working on this when I have a chance.  After this page is in table format, I'll propose some merges on the other pages.

 * I think a table is the way to go for presentation, but they are harder to edit sensibly. or go to this format of bulletting:
 * USS Abraham Lincoln
 * CVN-72
 * Nimitz class
 * Nuclear-powered supercarrier
 * Commissioned in 1989
 * currently in service
 * currently in service


 * or a sortable table:
