Aircraft carrier. You can say it's useless. But you must have it.
 
Aircraft carriers don't go to mission alone. They have escorts to protect themselves. Frigates, destroyers, and submarines are used as escorts to protect aircraft carriers. Indians are overrating Brahmos. Brahmos is nothing but an Indian version of Russian Yakhont anti ship missile.
They run away 1300 km's from the scene when the drones and anti ship ballistic missiles come flying in. This what happened with the CVN D. Eisenhower 2 days ago.

An F-18 got shot down too in da confusion.

Irans drone carrier and its forward operating base ships are great innovations. Nobody has attempted riding the blue waves like this before in power projection:

 
Some aircraft carriers can launch fighter jets, drones, AWACS...

Some aircraft carriers can only launch drones.

This is not a difference in thinking. It's just a gap in ability.
 
You are correct. The source I was looking at had a mistake. USS Gerald R. Ford is a 100,000 ton carrier with nuclear propulsion.

One Russian military expert had said that China will loose 40% of its navy to sink one aircraft carrier of US. This is the power of US aircraft carriers. When they move in battle group like say in 7th fleet, its power is horrifying. This battle group can finish of many small nations and overpower any damn navy.

Sorry, I'm just curious. Can Russia even make aircraft carriers?

Well in WWII for Japan, and for the Wester powers even in WWI, Aircraft carriers converted from Cargo ships were very common. You just have supporting poles/stilts go up from the hold and framework of the cargo ships to support a platform which uses timber (in the Iranian case, steel sheets). Here is a Japanese early carrier from WWII. A bit detailed but you get the idea.
