Ground forces have measured distances in “klicks”, slang for kilometers, since 1918.[62] Most military firearms are measured in metric units, beginning with the M-14 which was introduced in 1957,[58] although there are a few legacy exceptions, such as .50-caliber guns. Aircraft ordnance is normally measured in pounds. Heavy weapon caliber is measured in millimeters. Military vehicles are generally built to metric standards. An exception is the U.S. Navy, whose guns are measured in inches and whose undersea fleet measures distances in terms of “kiloyards”[63][64] (equivalent to 914.4 m), depth as “feet”, and velocity, in some cases, as “feet per second”. The Navy and Air Force continue to measure distance in nautical miles and speed in knots; these units are now accepted for use with SI by the BIPM.[65] Furthermore, in military aviation NATO countries use feet for flight heights, as they do in the civilian aviation.

This case is true in both submarines and naval vessels.
Nuclear electric energy provides catapults and sensors with more energy than fossil fuels.
However, there are only two countries with nuclear aircraft carriers in the world: the United States and France.
France has the Charles de Gaulle, one nuclear carrier.

The last comment is correct as well, The designation Battleship was used for a specific type of ship with several battery,s of large caliber of guns. Built at the end of the 19th century until the mid 1940s. Aircraft carriers are also specificity designed to carry Aircraft.

They are totally different classes of ships. Nobody else seems to be doing this.
