Nobody does carrier ops better than the USN--night, IFR, combat--developed thru slathers of experience in WW II, Korea and Vietnam. I takes a helluva team effort to make a carrier work, all of it voluntary and properly trained and led. I don't see any threat from China or Russia's efforts at carrier ops anytime soon.

Tip of the Hat to the RN who developed angled flight decks, steam cats and the "meatball' without which carrier ops would still have paddles and barrier.
