The rest of the world put together has 9 active carriers, all smaller than any of the US carriers. That's including the Chinese one, which they're still practising flying from, and the UK one, which doesn't have any aircraft until our JSFs turn up in a few years. Besides the US, only the French have an active nuclear powered carrier. So I don't really agree that discussion of reducing the number of US carriers is "extremely dangerous".
