Not sure where you get your info but its wrong.
2015 Aircraft Carrier Strength by Country

Did you check out your link? It includes helicopter platforms. India actually has 2 active aircraft carriers, one is a WWll British antique, one was purchased from a broke soviet union. No other nation has more than one active carrier capable of jets. Britain actually has none in service, a couple in the yards under construction.

And the US navy is just launching the newest one which costs 13 billion dollars.

Ridiculous. The military-industrial-complex is a welfare make work program.

What they don't have attack helicopters and aren't they aircraft?

And we would need about 127 of those (at $13 billion each) to equal what we spent on Social Security/Medicaid/Medicare last year. We spent $1.65 trillion on those programs alone. Defense spending on the other hand was $596 billion. So, what was that about a military-industrial complex?

I'm sure it started off as a discussion about traditional aircraft carriers capable of carrying CAP fighters, air superiority fighters, fighter bombers etc.
